INTRODUCTION

I.1 ABOUT THE STUDY
Customer satisfaction: A business term, is a measure of how products and services supplied
by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer satisfaction is defined as
"the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience
with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals."
It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is part of the four of a
Balanced Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for
customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has
become a key element of business strategy.
Within organizations, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus
employees on the importance of fulfilling customers’ expectations. Furthermore, when
these ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability. These
metrics quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal customers, it gains positive
word-of-mouth marketing, which is both free and highly effective.
In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service
has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction.
When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be
disappointed and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a
luxury resort, for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget motel—
even though its facilities and service would be deemed superior in “absolute” terms.
The importance of customer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased bargaining
power. For example, cell phone plan providers, such as AT&T and Verizon, participate in an
industry that is an oligopoly, where only a few suppliers of a certain product or service
exist. As such, many cell phone plan contracts have a lot of fine print with provisions that
they would never get away if there were, say, a hundred cell phone plan providers, because
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 2
customer satisfaction would be way too low, and customers would easily have the option of
leaving for a better contract offer.
c. Some customers get highly impressed with the overall behavior of supplier. Soft spoken and well mannered executive is always a positive gain for the supplier to get the customers emotionally attached with him. This behavior could also include provision of spontaneous responses in an efficient way. All these aspects can increase customer
loyalty to much higher levels.

RESEARCH
METHDOLOGY
III.1 CONCEPT METHDOLOGY
The Marketing Mix
The major marketing management decisions can be classified in one of the following four categories:
Product Price Place (distribution) Promotion
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 14
These variables are known as the marketing mix or the 4 P's of marketing. They are the variables that marketing managers can control in order to best satisfy customers in the target market. The marketing mix is portrayed in the following diagram:
1- Product
The product is the physical product or service offered to the consumer. In the case of physical products, it also refers to any services or conveniences that are part of the offering.
Product decisions include aspects such as function, appearance, packaging, service, warranty, etc.
2- Price
Pricing decisions should take into account profit margins and the probable pricing response of competitors. Pricing includes not only the list price, but also discounts, financing, and other options such as leasing.
The Marketing Mix
Product
Place
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 15
TargetMarket
Price
Promotion
The firm attempts to generate a positive response in the target market by blending these four marketing mix variables in an optimal manner.
3- Place
Place (or placement) decisions are those associated with channels of distribution that serve as the means for getting the product to the target customers. The distribution system performs transactional, logistical, and facilitating functions.
4- Promotion
Promotion decisions are those related to communicating and selling to potential consumers. Since these costs can be large in proportion to the product price, a break-even analysis should be performed when making promotion decisions. It is useful to know the value of a customer in order to determine whether additional customers are worth the cost of acquiring them.
Promotion decisions involve advertising, public relations, media types, etc
III.2 SOURCES OF DATA
III.2.1 PRIMARY DATA:
To collect primary data from Retailer’s Questionnaires were used. Questionnaire was
prepared very carefully so that it may prove to be effective in collecting the right

the satisafaction of the customers towards the organization. By this method I collected a lot of
information for my study and thus I could draw some good conclusions.
B. QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD:
The major motive of taking this method was that it covers large population at a time. One can

conceptual background for the project. This secondary data was compared with the primary
data collected in area.
III.2.4 TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF SECONDARY DATA
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 17
In most of the studies the investigator finds it impracticable to collect first hand information on
all related issues and as such he/she makes use of the data collected by others. The secondary
data can be collected by the following procedures:
A. PUBLISHED SOURCES:
By way of examining historical and other records, literature.
B. UNPUBLISHED SOURCES:

provided flexibility by using more close ended and few open ended questions.
METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION:
Information was collected by personally contacting coustomers through interviews.
III.3 RESEARCH METHDOLOGY
RESEARCH PROCESS:
Research process consist of series of action or step necessary to effective carry out research and the desired sequencing of these steps.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 18
Research design is the plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answer to research question and to control variance.
The plan is an outline of the research scheme on which the researcher is to work. The structure of the research is a more specific outline or the scheme and the strategy shows how the research will be carried out, specifying the method to be used in the collection and analysis of data.
TYPE OF RESEARCH DESIGN:
Research designs have been classified by various authors in different ways. Different Types of research design have emerged on account of different perspective from which a research study can be viewed.however; a frequently used classification system is to group research designs.
1) Exploratory
2) Descriptive
3) Causal
Qualitative Research
Qualitative approach to research is concerned is concerned with subjective assessment of attitudes, opinion and behavior. Research in such a situation is a function of researcher’s insight and impression. Generally the techniques of focus group interviews, projective technique and depth interview is used.
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 19
Sample frame:
A Sample frame is a list that includes every member of the population from which a sample is to be taken.
Sample unit:
Sampling unit may be geographical one such as state district, village etc. or a construction unit such as house, flat etc., or it may be a social unit such as family, club, school etc., or it may be an individual.
Sample size:
Sample size refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute a sample. The size sample should neither be excessively large, nor too small. It should be optimum.
Sample design:
The way of selecting a sample is popularly known as sample design is a definite plan determined before any are actually collected for obtaining a sample from a given population. A brief mention of the important sample design is as follows.
1) Deliberate sampling:
Deliberate sampling is also known as purposive or non-probability sampling. This sampling method involves deliberate selection of particular units of the universe for constituting a sample which represent universe.
2) Simple random sampling:
This type of sampling is also known as chance sampling or probability sampling where each and every item in the population has an equal chance of inclusion in the sample and each one of the possible samples, in case of finite universe, has the same probability of being selected.
3) Systematic sampling:
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 20
In some instance the most practical way of sampling is to every 15 th name on a list, every 10th house on one side of a street and so on.
4) Stratified sampling:
In this technique, the population is stratified into number of non-overpopulation sub population or strata and sample item are selected from each stratum.
5) Cluster sampling:
Cluster sampling involves grouping the population and then selecting the group of cluster rather than individual elements for inclusion in the sample.

III.5 Limitations Of The Study
The customers study was conducted only in Pune city. The results therefore are confined
to this area only and need not necessarily be applicable to other areas.
The sample size of the customers was small, so it was not able to convey the attitude of
customers.
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 22
Respondents might have some biased views and this could have affected the findings to a
certain extent.
In the questionnaire, questions are very limited, because it is very difficult to get the
information from the busy officials.
Services blueprints are prepared from my side with the help of higher authorities and
suggestions given are looking from my perspective.
Suggestions given are only for the betterment of the bank and for better serving of the
customer.
Suggestions also given by customers are considered which may or may not be biased.

V. FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND
SUGGESTION
V.1 FINDINGS
When I went in the company I found that the employees were highly skilled and the co-ordination between different levels was excellent with high levels of communication.
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 72
The employees working within the organization also communicate well with the customer and treated customer well. As it’s a saying that customers are the king, the employees within the organization gave the same priority to their customers. The problems were quickly attended by the customers and fluent working of the employees also reduced the queue at the counters. The employees were behaved and due to providing the priority to the customers the customers were also satisfied with the working of the employees. The infrastructure of the organization was also good providing with waiting area which is also known as customer lounge for the customers, where they can also have coffee etc. for their refreshment. The organization also set up the token counter so that the customer can take their tokens provided by the organization according to their problems which also provided ease for the customers.
V.2 CONCLUSION
Maximum customers were satisfied with the employees and the organization whereas
sum of the customers were not satisfied as there work to be done took some time.
Most of the modern techniques introduced by the organization were not made aware to
the customers.
Customers were satisfied with the behavior of the employees working within the
organization and were also satisfied with the infrastructures and equipments provided by
the organization
Customers also found that there was less queue on the counters due to the instant
assistant provided by the employees to the customers.
V.3 SUGGESTION
The suggestions given by me for the betterment of the organization are as follows:
They can increase their branches a little more so that customer can easily get to it.
ALLAHABAD BANKPage 73
A proper layout of the service should be displayed so that it can reach to the customers
who are not aware of it.
They should also increase a little bit of counters so that it saves time of the customers.
They should also decrease their charges on demand draft, which is higher in comparisons
with other banks
