INTRODUCTION
THE REPOSITIONING OF VIDEOCON BRAND
..

that aims to make a brand occupy a distinct position, relative to competing A marketing strategy brands, in the mind of the customer. Companies apply this strategy either by emphasizing the distinguishing features of their brand (what it is, what it does and how, etc.) or they may try to create a suitable image (inexpensive or premium, utilitarian or luxurious, entry-level or high-end, etc.) through advertising. Once a brand is positioned, it is very difficult to reposition it without destroying its credibility. Companies that successfully position themselves to leverage their strategic competencies and stay exceptionally close to their customers not only survive but thrive in these increasingly difficult times. Strategic repositioning focuses on expanding a companys internal and external knowledge and capabilities to compete more successfully in todays marketplace. Efective marketing strategy in a dynamic environment requires the ability to foresee the need for change and a willingness to change direction. In marketing, large changes to some or all of a .rm.s marketing apparatus are referred to as .repositioning.. Firms may reposition themselves along a variety of dimensions. Perhaps the most common (and visible) forms of repositioning are brand and product related. Recent examples include Domino Pizza.s attempt to switch their reputation from fast delivery to high quality and the repositioning of UPS from shipping to full office solutions (.What can brown do for you?.). Other examples include adjustments to product lines, such as Hyundai. recent move into the luxury auto segment in the U.S. or Kodak.s long-delayed transition to digital imaging. While product based decisions are clearly the most common form of repositioning, they are far from the only examples.

Positioning: In marketing, positioning has come to mean the process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of their target market for its product, brand, or organization. Re-positioning involves changing the identity of a product, relative to the identity of competing products, in the collective minds of the target market.

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

1.Canalith Repositioning Procedure for Treatment of BPPV BPPV occurs as a result of displaced otoconia, which are small crystals of calcium carbonate (also referred to as "otoliths" or canaliths) that are normally attached to the otolithic membrane in the utricle of the inner ear. Because of trauma, infection, or even simple aging, canaliths can detach from the utricle and collect within the semicircular canals. When the head moves, the canaliths shift, stimulating sensitive nerve hairs to send false signals to the brain, causing dizziness and other symptoms. The goal of the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP), a form of vestibular rehabilitation therapy, is to move the displaced canaliths to stop these false signals and the debilitating symptoms they can cause. John M. Epley, MD, first described CRP in 1992. The original procedure and many variations are currently in use and are referred to, at times, as the Epley maneuver or maneuvers. Through a series of head position changes, CRP moves the canaliths from the canal to the utricle. Once in the utricle, the canaliths may re-adhere to the otolithic membrane, dissolve, be broken up, or move some place where they can't cause symptoms. These maneuvers involve a series of specifically patterned head and trunk movements performed by a trained professional who closely watches eye movements with each position change. CRP can be performed in the doctor's office with medication such as diazepam to help block nausea during the procedure, which takes about 15 minutes to accomplish. Precautions are provided for the days immediately following the procedure in order to ensure that the canaliths don't have the opportunity to return to their formerly problematic location in one of the semi-circular canals. CRP is very effective, with an approximate cure rate of 80%. The recurrence rate for BPPV after these maneuvers is low. However, in some instances additional treatment(s) may be necessary.

2. Winterich and coauthors Michael Walsh of West Virginia University and Vikas Mittal of Rice University explore: the role of brand commitment in consumer response to logo shape designs in their paper Do Logo Redesigns Help or Hurt Your Brand? The Role of Brand Commitment, published in the Journal of Product & Brand Management.; They found that consumers who are strongly committed to a brand tend to react more negatively toward new logos, while more casual customers typically view the redesigns as a positive

development. Further, this negativity felt toward the new logo by the brands best customers can spill over and cause them to have a lower attitude toward the brand. 3. Smeals Karen Winterich suggests the redesigned logo is the first step in repositioning the Starbucks brand and that incorporating the brand name into the logo isnt as critical as one may think. If Starbucks continues to grow in these cultures, its revised logo, while perhaps upsetting to loyal U.S. customers, may appeal to its newest consumers in these collectivistic markets, and that may just be where it matters most, says Winterich.

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY

There are many reason behind the research they are discussed as under : 1. The main rationale of the study is which are the beacon for finding the market position of
Videocon brand and how the company increases the market percentage of this brand suggestion for that.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:

The research mainly the comparative study of the brand equity in the selected product. The major objective of the study are: 1. To know about market share of videocon before repositionong. 2. To know about market share of videocon after repositionong.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define research methodology as a scientific and systematic search for required information on a specific topic. The word research methodology cones from the word advance learners dictionary meaning of research as a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge for Example: from authors have defined research methodology as systematized effort to gain new knowledge. To gather the response with respect to this study, the question method in sample survey has been developed by me. If one wishes to find what people thinker know and even what they feel, the logical procedure is to ask them. This has led marketing researches to pursue the questionnaire technique for collecting data more than any other method. In this method questionnaire were distributed to the respondents and they were asked to answer question in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was structured non disguised questionnaire because the question which the questionnaire contained were arranged in a specific order besides every question asked were logical for the study no question can be termed as irrelevant. The questionnaire was non-disguised because the questionnaire was constructed so that the objective is clear to the respondent. The respondent was aware of the objective. They knew why they were asked to fill the questionnaire. Indore has population 15.5 lacks. For carrying out any form of research or study on any subject it is very difficult to cover even 10% of the population. Therefore the sample size has to be decided for a meaningful conclusion. Considering the constraints it was decided to conduct the study based on the sample size of 60 people. In the period of 3 days we can say there may include the scientific study because it based on the reference of the hospital.

RESEARCH DESIGN 1. The study:

In this study based on research conducted the survey of to get service quality and customer loyalty into the people.

2. Sample size:
In this type of survey report, the searcher would taken some respondent it is area based. So the researcher would take 90 respondent is sample size.

3. Collection of data:
In this type of survey report, the researcher would taken some specified area as bhawanr kuan,sapna sangeeta road because they are across the reference of Videocon franchise. But they give good response.

SAMPLE DESIGN
The method used for sample technique was non-probability convenience random sampling method. This method was used because it was not know previously as to whether a particulat person will be asked to fill the questionnaire. Convenient sampling is used because only those people were asked easily accessible and available to the researcher. Considering the constraints, it was decided to conduct the study based on sample size of 100 respondents. Scientific method was not adopted was not adopted in this study because of financial constraints and also of lack of time, hence most convenient way was selected.

Sample size:

In this my research study, there were 100 people involved as a researcher.

TOOLS OF DATA ANALYSIS:

In this survey report, the researchers used various tools, which helps the analysis and interpretation of the collection, they are as follows: 10

Mean method of data analysis

For a data set, the mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values. The mean of a set of numbers x1, x2, ..., xn is typically denoted by , pronounced "x bar". This mean is a type of arithmetic mean. If the data set was based on a series of observations obtained by sampling a statistical population, this mean is termed the "sample mean" to distinguish it from the "population mean". y Standard deviation method of data analysis

Standard deviation is a widely used measurement of variability or diversity used in statistics and probability theory. It shows how much variation or "dispersion" there is from the "average" (mean, or expected/budgeted value). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values. y Chi- square test

Pearson's chi-square ( 2, pronounced k -square) test is the best-known of several chi-square tests statistical procedures whose results are evaluated by reference to the chi-square distribution. Its properties were first investigated by Karl Pearson in 1900.[1] In contexts where it is important to make a distinction between the test statistic and its distribution, names similar to Pearson squared test or statistic are used. Pearson's chi-square is used to assess two types of comparison: 1. Tests of goodness of fit 2. Tests of independence. A test of goodness of fit establishes whether or not an observed frequency distribution differs from a theoretical distribution. A test of independence assesses whether paired observations on two variables, expressed in a contingency table, are independent of each other for example, whether people from different regions differ in the frequency with which they report that they support a political candidate. y T- Test

The t-test (or student's t-test) gives an indication of the separateness of two sets of measurements, and is thus used to check whether two sets of measures are essentially different (and usually that an experimental effect has been demonstrated). The typical way of doing this is with the null hypothesis that means of the two sets of measures are equal.
