Jute sacks are perhaps the earliest flexible packaging products to find popularity as
cheap containers for bulk packaging of granular and powdery materials. The
principal advantages of such sacks are their cheapness, strength to with stand rough
handling and severe shock loads and established performance. The principal
disadvantages are susceptibility to insect infestation & contamination of contents
with mineral oils normally used in fibre to yarn processing and loose fibres. Price
fluctuations are related to crop size, weather conditions and a host of other
variables which influence the peasant in his decision to grow a cash crop or a food
crop. Over the years, this steady growth in jute usage had led to genuine shortage
of fibre. Multi-wall paper sacks have been expanding into this field but rising costs
of paper have made them uneconomical when heavy duty containers are required.
In recent years, synthetic sacks have emerged as a good packaging medium for
bulk packaging of fertilizers, chemicals, food stuffs, cement etc.
Sacks made by weaving HDPE or PP tapes are quite popular as a better
Substitute for the conventional jute sacks. HDPE or PP woven sacks are
Especially suitable for packaging purposes because of their number of functional
advantages over jute bags. The woven sacks are water repellant and do not rot.
These are chemically inert and therefore more suitable for packaging of various
9
chemicals, plastic granules etc. These sacks are much lighter in weight when
compared with identical size sacks of jute. HDPE/PP woven sacks are also stronger
and can withstand much higher impact loads, because HDPE/PP has high tensile
strength and its elongation at break is 15 to 25 per cent compared to3 per cent for
jute. Plastic woven sacks are much cleaner both in use and production and resist
fungal attack.
Air permeable sacks made from HDPE or PP are suitable for the packaging of
potatoes, carrots, onions, grains, rice, cement etc. For packaging of fertilizers,
sugar, coffee etc., LDPE laminated woven sacks are used. Fabric woven from
HDPE/PP tapes are also ideal for the manufacture of shopping bags, deckchairs,
carpet backing etc.
Due to numerous advantages of HDPE/PP woven sacks over jute sacks,
These are finding more and more applications in packaging of a wide range of
products. They are expected to substitute jute and craft paper bags in several areas.
This would mean a considerable saving in foreign exchange by avoiding recurring
imports of multi-wall paper. Further, their use has also resulted in an increase in
foreign exchange earnings of the country by realizing more jute for exports. The
only disadvantage of plastic woven sacks is that the filled bags cannot be handled
by hooks which are possible in case of jute sacks. However, it is necessary to
educate the laborers how to handle these bags. They should be taught not to use
hooks for handling HDPE sacks, in quite contrast to conventional bags, since
hooks would tear HDPE sacks completely.
Moisture proof sacks can also be produced from coated polyethylene
Fabrics or by use of loose liners. Coating as well as liners is usually of low density
polyethylene. Coated fabrics can be used for making tarpaulins also. Multi-wall
paper bags, another popular material used for packaging cement is still largely
depending on the import of craft paper. In comparison, the raw material for woven
sacks is easily available in the country. Further these sacks are lighter, more
economical and have superior resistance to bursting when dropped. They also do
not get damaged in contact with water or moisture like paper sacks. Woven sacks
10
can be made in circular looms as well as in flat looms. In circular looms, woven
fabric in tubular form is obtained, which can be converted to bags by stitching one
side (bottom). Flat looms produce an open fabric and in this case the bag is formed
by stitching three sides.
HDPE/PP woven sacks for same size, weave density and strength, would
Normally is one-fourth in weight as compared to jute bags. Consequently, the
weight per bag or per square meter of fabric would be lower. This also results in
cutting down transportation cost of empty sacks. HDPE/PP woven fabrics are
odorless. Unlike jute, these woven fabrics can be made in different colours and can
be printed in clear and multi-coloured marking. This help in giving the sacks a nice
appearance and brightness so important for promotional purposes.
high consumer choice, demanding customer, more emphasis on quality and value
of purchase etc.
All these changes have made todays producer shift from traditional marketing to
modern marketing. Modern marketing calls for more than developing a product,
pricing it, promoting it and making it accessible to target customer. It demands
building trust, a binding force and value added relationship with the customers.
The process of developing a cooperative and collaborative relationship between the
buyer and seller is called customer relationship management shortly called CRM.
The CRM is a new technique in marketing where the marketer tries to develop
long term relationship with the customers to develop them as life time customers.
CRM aims to make the customer climb up the ladder of loyalty.
The company first tries to determine who are likely prospects i.e. the people who
have a strong potential interest in the product and ability to pay for it. The
company hopes to convert many of its qualified prospect into first time customers
and then to convert those first time customers into repeat customers. Then the
company tries to convert these repeat customers into clients they are those people
who buy only from the company in the relevant product categories. The next
challenge for the company is to convert these clients into advocates. Advocates are
those clients who praise the company and encourage others to buy from it.
The ultimate challenge is to convert these advocates into partners where the
customers and the clients work actively together to discover ways of getting
mutual benefit.
Thus in CRM the key performance figure is not just current market share but share
of life time value by converting customers into partners.
Why customer relationship management
A satisfied customer in 10 years will bring 100 more customers to the company.
12
It costs 7 times more to attract a new customer than to serve an old one.
20% of the companys loyal customers account for 80% of its revenues.
(Paretos principle).
The chances of selling to an existing customer are 1 in 2; the chances of selling
to a new customer are 1 in 16.
Ways for managing Customer Relationship
1. Every part of the companys marketing effort should be geared towards building
lifetime relationships.
2. People want to do business with friendly people. To have effective relations a
friendly attitude must permeate in the organization.
3. Information technology developments should be positively used to serve the
customers.
4. The company should always be flexible to bend its rules and procedures in the
clients favor.
5. The company should communicate with its customers even when it is not trying
to sell something.
6. The company can communicate and develop stronger customer bonding by
providing financial and social benefits.
13
7. The company should try to know all its customers including their lifestyles,
hobbies, likes and dislikes etc.
8. The company should make it a point to deliver more than what is promised.

Respond are of the opinion that among all the media television is the most
powerful media followed by hoarding and wall painting which every common man
can see. So company should have to utilize them as much as possible.
I found company is poor in providing services such as timely small deliveries
regular visits and gift items etc.
The company should focus more on sales promotion, advertisement and public
relations.
The network spread of swastika polyfab is good in chittorgarh which can be act as
its strength.
If we check out the perception level of respondent with respect to quality of
swastika polyfab than we found that 64% respondent are in favour of swastik
polyfab and told that it has excellent quality. So company can also see this as its
strength as compared to other brands in market.
Respondents opinion regarding price is reasonable according to quality.
It was found that company has very good brand image in the respondents mind.
Respondents are satisfied with the price.

Suggestions
Based upon the time spend by me in the market, useful suggestions of the
customers and the findings from the survey, following recommendations can be
suggested for increasing the brand awareness and relationship with customers of
swastik polyfab pvt. Ltd.
Company should develop its R&D department as per market requirement.
Company should increase availability by which it can increase the sales and brand
image.
As we all know the cement industry is growing rapidly so company improve
supply to capture maximum market share.
Company should start its internal call centre by which customers can directly
interact with the company experts.
As we all know cement sector is growing rapidly and the demand for plastic bag
should also be increased in the market so company should supply more to capture
the maximum market share.
Marketing and advertisement services should be improved in order to improve
awareness as well as relationship with customers. Like trade allowances, trade
shows, wall paintings, print media etc.
What matters for the plastic bag buyers is the price of bag and the quality of the
bag and promotion while visiting to the market buyers not only look for the price
but also personal touch matters a lot and company need to improve it.
Company should try to introduce new product range.
Company should develop business status with public relations by participating in
local conferences this will help to promote the brand.
