Notebooks
A notebook(Notepad, Writing pad, Drawing pad, Legal pad)
is a book or binder composed of pages, often ruled, made out of
paper, used for purposes including recording notes or memoranda,
writing, drawing, and scrapbooking.

include a sewn spine, and the pages are not easily removed. Some
styles of sewn bindings allow pages to open flat, while others cause
the pages to drape.
Variations of notebooks that allow pages to be added, removed,
and replaced are bound by either ring or discs. In each of these
systems, the pages are modified with perforations that facilitate the
specific binding mechanism’s ability to secure them. Ring-bound and
rod-bound notebooks secure their contents by threading perforated
pages around straight or curved prongs. In the open position, the
pages are kept in order. Disc-bound notebooks remove the open or
closed operation by modifying the pages themselves. A page
perforated for a disc-bound binding system contains a row of teeth
along the side edge of the page that grip onto the outside raised
perimeter of Individuals discs.
Pre-Printing
Notebooks used for drawing and scrapbooking are usually
blank. Notebooks for writing usually have some kind of printing on
the writing material, if only lines to align writing or facilitate certain
kinds of drawing. Invertors notebooks have page numbers preprinted
to support priority claims. They may be considered great literature.
Many notebooks have graphic decorations. Personal organizers can
have various kinds of pre-printed pages.
Uses
Project Report 2021-2022
Notes in a notebook
Artists often use large notebooks which include wide spaces of
blank paper appropriate for drawing. Lawyers use rather large
notebooks known as “legal pads” that contain lined paper(often
yellow) and are appropriate for use on tables and desks. These
horizontal lines or “rules” are sometimes classified according to their
space apart with “wide rule” the farthest, “college rule” closer, “legal
rule” slightly closer, from and “narrow rule” closest, allowing more
lines of text per page.

While the precise number of printing and publishing facilities is
difficult to determine, 1987 census data identified approx 58,000
firms operating 62,000 facilities. Other estimates of industry size are
higher, in the range of 70,000,86% of which are thought to have press
operations, with the remainder performing printing-related operations
such as publishing or plate making. It is important to note that
because printing itself is a process used to transfer images or material
to a substrate, “in-plant” printing operations are present in facilities
throughout the manufacturing sectors. For example, one of the largest

A Modest Beginning
The Company's beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha
Bazar Lane, Kolkata, was the center of the Company's existence. The
Company celebrated its 16th birthday on August 24, 1926, by
purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now
renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This
decision of the Company was historic in more ways than one. It was

Research Methodology
Research refers to the search for knowledge it is an art of
scientific investigation research that comprises a definite problem.
The research design ascetically states the procedures of data
collection and analysis of information relevant to the problem.
The methodologyinquiry branch of logic is concerned with the
application of the principle of reasoning to scientific and
philosophical enquiry. The method to be followed to proceed with
research is called methodology and the method adopted depends on

DATA COLLECTION
The information required for the preparation of the methodology
inquiry report is collected through two sources.
▪ Primary Data
▪ Secondary Data
Primary Data
The data is collected through questionnaires, which form the
major part.
Secondary Data
The secondary data is readily available from the dealer’s news
and magazines. Data like company profiles and product profiles are
collected from the Internet.
METHODS OF COLLECTING PRIMARY DATA
Primary data can be collected in several ways. However, the
most common techniques are central behavior surveysClosed-ended,
interviews, field observation, and experiments. Primary data
collection is quite expensive and time-consuming compared to
secondary data collection.
Survey Method

people through the use of surveys or questionnaires.
Sampling
An integral component of Research Design is the sampling plan.
Specifically, it addresses three questions
Project Report 2021-2022
DECLARATION:-
I selected my study in descriptive research which includes
surveys, facts, findings, and inquiries. The method used for the
present study is the Survey method. Data were collected from field
surveys by the personal interviews which customers. Primary data is
collected with the help of questionnaires for analysis.
Questionnaire:-
A set of questions printed in the form are provided to the
respondents for their answers, closed-ended and opened questions are
used. The questionnaires are developed and tested before using for
data collection.
Limitations
Apart from the needs and importance of the study, there are
limitations also. The limitations are as follows:
▪ The study is confined to Mumbai city. Not the customers around
the world.
▪ The survey was carried about 2 months, which was a time
constraint.
▪ Some of the customers are not interested to give accurate
information about the product.
▪ The research has been centralbehavior to only 100 customers
rather than Millions.
▪ The methods used in the project are Random sampling methods
and the results obtained may not be fully accurate and
believable.

Project Report 2021-2022
Consumer Behaviour
Consumer behavior refers to the behavior that consumers
display in searching for purchasing, using, evaluating, and disposing
of products and services that they expect will satisfy their needs. The
study of consumer behavior is the study of how individuals make
decisions to spend their available resources. (Time, money, effort) In
consumption-related terms, it includes the study of what they buy,
how often they buy it, and how often they use it.
Consumer research provides the basis for the development of
new products and services concepts to meet targeted consumer needs.
It also enables the marketer to build consumer meaning into the
product or service by discovering which attributes are most important
to the target market and integrating them into the product or service
design.
