EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order to predict the consumer buying behavior towards liquid handwash we conducted a suvey of sample size 100 in order to predict the level of awareness,practice,brand loyalty among consumers of liquid hand wash. We followed Convenient random sampling methodology and filled 100 questionnaires having maximum frequency of mostly youth people(16-25 years) having income 0-1000Rs,the rest were aged businessman and service class people having higher incomes than this.After filling the questionnaires, we entered the data into SPSS thereafter we analysed it we found there is considerable amount of awareness and practice among the buyers of liquid hand wash and Dettol happens to be market leader in this segment in Infocity area followed by Lifebuoy and others. Brand is the most deciding factor for buying Liquid handwash followed by Price,Variants and Advertisments. Rest of the brands apart from Lifebuoy and Dettol need to have proper penetration in this area with better promotional offers to capture market share.
HISTORY OF LIQUID HANDWASH Liquid soap is a nice alternative to bar and block soap. The trusty hand soap that we squirt into our hands in public bathrooms or set out when company is coming is very handy. However, things were always not so simple. Grabbing the bottle of Tide or squirting the Palmolive into the sink is something that we do not think twice about.
Liquid soap is one of those things that we tend to take for granted. Although soap has a very lengthy history, liquid soap did not come on to the soap scene until the 1800s. In 1865 William Shepphard patented liquid soap. In 1898 B.J. Johnson Soap Company introduced Palmolive. This new soap was made of palm and olive oils and it grew popular in a short amount of time. B.J Johnson Company would make a stunning profit off of Palmolive that they changed their name to Palmolive.
INTRODUCTION Earlier in India liquid handwash was not popular. Though people wash hands but they do not prefer liquid handwash. FMCG Company creates awareness for changing hand washing habit. They try to make people health conscious in respect to washing hands. In FMCG segment Liquid handwash is a growing product category. The importance of personal care and hygiene brings us to our product which we have chosen for our market research project: Liquid Hand Wash Hand hygiene pertains to the hygiene practices related to minimizes or prevent disease and the spreading of disease. The main purpose of washing hands is to cleanse the hands bacteria or viruses and chemicals which can cause personal harm or disease.
OBJECTIVE Our main objective to find out: The level of awareness and practice of hand hygiene People preference to wash hands Brand consciousness Brand loyalty of liquid hand brands among consumers
SAMPLE AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This report deals with the understanding of Indian consumers buying behavior towards liquid hand wash. We did a survey of 100 customers in Infocity Gandhinagar and based on their response carried out our analysis. We asked the respondents about their age, gender and occupation. After getting their basic information we asked the respondents to rank a few brands of liquid soaps. The brands included the following: Dettol, Palmolive, Lifebuoy, Santoor and Others (which represent any other local or regional brand which the respondent might prefer). First of all we collected primary data for defining our objective for marketing research project in specified handwash category from different sources e.g. Articles, news paper, magazines and books form library. For Sampling Techniques We have taken combination of two techniques Probability Sampling Techniques i.e. Simple Random Sampling and Non-Probability Sampling Techniques i.e. Convenience Sampling. It involves picking any available set of respondent convenient for representativeness and accuracy in data and our sample size was 100. We made questionnaire for the respondents. Based on their choices about how they make their preferences for specific brands in the Hand Wash segment, the project tries to comprehend the types of customers who reside in India when making such decisions and which parameters they pay more attention to when making their final decision.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS Since we have taken Convenience Sampling, the analysis may not represent a true picture of the target population. Language Barrier especially with the respondents Most of the respondents were not aware of marketing jargons such as Brand, Promotion etc.so we need to explain them or some had pre-conceived notions for the same. Biasedness towards some questions need not be taken into consideration Casuality of the respondent while filling the form is ruled out.

DETAIL FINDINGS 1. It has been found that 98% of the people prefer to wash hands on daily basis as per our sample. So there is good level of awareness of handwashing in Infocity. 2% of the people who do not wash hands on daily basis might have filled the questionnaire either in Casual manner or because of personal or physcological reasons. 2. People prefer to wash hands by liquid hand wash(68%) so there is considerable practice of handwashing by Liquid handwash. 9% people prefer Sanitizer as they more habituated to use it where there is unavailbilty of water and they can clean their hands without water wherever they want. 23% people use bar soap generally after coming from loo or cooking vegetables. 3. There is moderate level of practice among people to wash their hands i.e, 5-10 times(51%) 4. 45% of people prefer to wash hands when they encounter their hands with dirt. 5. 75% of the people prefer to wash hands because of hygiene. Rest 25% washes hand because of habit which can be interpreted as the obsessive nature of the respondent or casuality while filling the questionnaire. 6. Mother(57%) washes hand maximum in the family as it is very important for her to be role model of cleanliness. Next are Kids(31%) who washes hand either by their own or with the help of Guardian. 7. 47% of the kids still require a Guardian to wash their hands either because they dont know how to wash hands or dont want to wash their hands 8. Mother washes their kid hands(89%) 9. Dettol happens to leader in liquid hand wash market(85%) followed by lifebuoy(12%) 10. Brand-loyalty is 53% 11. Image(41%) and Price(25%) contribute to change the brand. 12. Lifebuoy prefers to be secondmost preferred brand .
CONCLUSION There has been significiant level of Awarness(98%) in Infocity Gandhinagar and they prefer to wash their hands by various cleanliness tools such as liquid hand wash,handsoap or sanitizers for various reasons in order to maintain hygiene or physcological status. Most of them prefer Dettol brand for liquid handwash as the quality is good,value for money proposition,availabity in bottles and refills in various flavors . People prefer to change Dettol and switch to other brand because of Medical Smell that Dettol has and at times few customers prefer other brands because of Price,Variants or impact of persuasive advertisements on them. Lifebuoy has great fragnance and is avaibale at a cheaper price than dettol preferably will do well lower income groups and rural areas. Palmolive,Santoor ,Godrej, Himalya have weaker distribution channels in Infocity area so the availability of these brands is not much more though quality and price are equivalent to other brands.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Dettol should introduce variants with good fragrances at the same level of quality as other brands. Palmolive,Santoor and Himalaya should start penetrating well in the areas such as infocity. Advertising should be done taking kids who wash their hands by their own by liquid handwash brands. Lifebuoy should work on Brand building as image is the important deciding factor for switching brand loyalty. Lifebuoy should work on volume promotion and introduce more variants to capture more market share
