Recommendations for the brand


• The brand is been performing great in this sector but a lot of attention needs to be paid
on building its value.
• The products need to be more categorized and defined. All the products express that
they can be used by any age group need more clarity in this domain.
• Needs to focus on the factors like environment friendly and towards customer
satisfaction.
• The marketing of the products needs to be more aggressive as the products will be
accepted by all the economically stable customers.
• The product names can also be more expressive. The packaging seems to be less
attractive too.
• The main USPs of the products could be put forth on the products packaging, like the
company Yes Madam does it would be more helpful and easy to sell.
