INTRODUCTION

Customer satisfaction is generally understood as the sense of satisfaction that a consumer feels when comparing
his preliminary expectations with the actual quality of the acquired product. Thus, satisfaction is closely linked
with the quality of the product (service). The quality of services is extremely difficult to assess, because services
is are intangible and heterogeneous. It is not feasible to develop well-defined quality standards that will allow
the manufacturer to exercise full control and reject "unsuitable" services before they are sold to the consumer.
The direct involvement of consumers in the provision of services leads us to talk about quality not as the
recruitment of certain objective characteristics corresponding to stated standards, but as quality conceived by
the consumer.

“QUALITY” = “CUSTOMER SATISFACTION” = “VALUE”/ “COST”

This definition of quality implies a close relationship between the product or service and the consumers. In
current market conditions, the consumer plays the role of arbiter, so failure will result if customer satisfaction is
not taken into account. The above defined concept of customer satisfaction has been understood with respect to
a
L.G. ELECTRONICS, products. In the survey conducted, we came across many factors that influence the
consumers’ perception of the product and their subsequent shopping and buying decisions. Here, we present a
culmination of the findings gathered and the suggestions based on the data gathered and analyzed. If set in
descending order of influence as indicated by the consumers, the factors can be listed as: Quality, Affordability,
Brand name, All products under one roof, Proximity, Fashion, Loyalty, Service, Variety and Store atmosphere.
These are the factors influencing the satisfaction level of the customers.

According to Philip Kotler, “satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pressure or disappointment resulting


from product’s perceived performance (outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. Customer
satisfaction is the level of a person’s felt state resulting from comparing a product’s perceived
performance (outcome) in relation to the person’s expectations”.

A major goal of any enterprise is to create a ratings system of customer satisfaction, goods and services. It is
obvious that the company cannot change what is not measured. In order to get a clearer picture of the
preferences of the major consumer groups, this stage should be based on extensive research, including a variety
of interviews and surveys. It is necessary to know the key benefits, which determine customer satisfaction in the
market segment, of the properties of certain goods and services. It is important to estimate the terms of these
preferences from the viewpoint of the client. This article discusses the importance of customer satisfaction, and
ways of assessing it.
This satisfaction level is a function of difference between perceivedperformance and expectations. If the
product’s performance, exceed expectation the customer highly satisfied or delighted. If the performance
matches the expectations the customer is satisfied. If the products performance fall shorts of expectations the
customer isdissatisfied.

1. Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction becausecustomers who are just satisfied still find it easy to
switch whena better offer comes along. High satisfaction or delight createsan emotional affinity with brand.

2. Variety of factors that affect customer satisfaction includes product quality, product availability and after
sales support suchas warranties and services. Customer satisfaction is seen as a proof of delivering a quality
product or service. It is believedthat customer satisfaction brings sales growth, and marketshare. A company can
always increase customer satisfaction bylowering its price or increasing its services but this may resultin lower
profits. Thus, the purpose of marketing is to generatecustomer value profitability.

3. India is on the threshold of a new millennium. India chose forglobal economy, exposing her to winds of
change in the market place, which has expanded vastly and become fiercelycompetitive. In the changed
environment, decision makers viewthe marketing concept as the key to success. Marketing in practice has to
manage products, pricing, promotion anddistribution.

4. A successful product can be developed by exploding theseopportunities. While delivering the value of the
consumer wemake use of marketing support. This support is based on theknowledge of consumers and
distribution. Marketing support both at the introduction of products and maturing is considered

5. Marketing, as suggested by the American MarketingAssociation is "an organizational function and a set of
processesfor creating, communicating and delivering value to customersand for managing customer
relationships in ways that benefitthe organization and its stakeholders"

6. The two major factors of marketing are the recruitment of newcustomers (acquisition) and the retention and
expansion ofrelationships with existing customers (base management).Marketing methods are informed by
many of the social, particularly psychology, sociology, and economics.Anthropology is also a small, but
growing, influence. Marketresearch underpins these activities. Through advertising, it isalso related to many of
the creative arts.

7. For a marketing plan to be successful, the mix of the four "Ps" i.e. product, price, place, promotion must
reflect the wants and desires of the consumers in the target market. Trying to convince a market segment to buy
something they don't want is extremely expensive and seldom successful. Marketers depend on marketing
research, both formal and informal, to determine what consumers want and what they are willing to pay for.
The most obvious reason why companies have to worry aboutcustomer satisfaction is that they need
customers to be ready torepurchase their services in future. A positive evaluation of productsthat have been
purchased helps to retain customers. People whoevaluate a product or service negatively are unlikely to use
them and pay for them again. It is usually cheaper to retain existing clients thanto attract new ones. Therefore,
companies focus on ensuring that theircustomers have a satisfactory experience of using their
products.Frustrated consumers not only have a negative experience and share itwith their friends and
relatives, but may even go to court to seekredress. Companies will receive negative publicity that will
affecttheir prestige and will require extra effort, time and money to beinvested in protecting the reputation of
the business, including dealingwith court cases and the press. In a tough competitive environment,rival firms
can take advantage of the situation.

“The gulf between satisfied customers and completely satisfied customers can swallow a business.”

If you don’t care about customers’ satisfaction, don’t expect them tocare about your services or products.
Sad, but true. The sooner youface it, the better you’ll perform.High standard customer service can be in your
client's heart and make you recognize within your target group.

Brand equity of branded generics is examined from beginning to end analytical review. Nation of origin image
is hypothesized to influence components of brand equity. A research was conducted among efficiently
respondents, such as doctors of dissimilar categories in Kolkata, India. Outcome showed that country of origin
representation had a optimistic and important effect on components of brand equity, resulting from factor
analysis conducted on brand equity elements. The outcome also revealed that country of origin representation of
branded generics considerably, but not directly, exaggerated brand equity through the mediating variables.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: -

 To identify the level of customer’s satisfaction towards LG products and services.


 To critically examine the factors leading to customer satisfaction with respect to LG product and
services, and suggest recommendation if necessary.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY: -

The main aim is to examine the customers level of satisfaction on LG PRODUCTS with special reference to
Patna (Bihar). This study helps in understanding the needs and changes to be done in LG PRODUCTS. It will
also help in finding out the customers opinion on the technical and services support rendered by the LG
COMPANY. The survey focuses on the opinion of the respondents regarding the LG PRODUCTS.

RESEARCH DESIGN: -

Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions,
collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusions to determine whether
they fit the formulating hypothesis.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH: -

In a descriptive design, a researcher is solely interested in describing the situation or case under their research
study. It is a theory-based design method which is created by gathering, analysing, and presenting collected
data. This allows a researcher to provide insights into the why and how of research. Descriptive design helps
others better understand the need for the research. If the problem statement is not clear, you can conduct
exploratory research.
EXPERIMENTALRESEARCH: -

This design establishes a relationship between the cause and effect of a situation. It is a causal design where one
observes the impact caused by the independent variable on the dependent variable. For example, one monitors
the influence of an independent variable such as a price on a dependent variable such as customer satisfaction or
brand loyalty. It is a highly practical research design method as it contributes to solving a problem at hand. The
independent variables are manipulated to monitor the change it has on the dependent variable. It is often used in
social sciences to observe human behaviour by analysing two groups. Researchers can have participants change
their actions and study how the people around them react to gain a better understanding of social psychology.

CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH: -

It is a non-experimental research design technique that helps researchers establish a relationship between two
closely connected variables. This type of research requires two different groups. There is no assumption while
evaluating a relationship between two different variables, and statistical analysis techniques calculate the
relationship between them.

EXPLANATORY RESEARCH: -

Explanatory design uses a researcher’s ideas and thoughts on a subject to further explore their theories. The
research explains unexplored aspects of a subject and details about what, how, and why of research questions.
RESEARCH METHODS OF OURPROJECT: -

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH: -

Descriptive research includes surveys, fact-findings enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of this
research is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. The main character of this method is that the
researcher has no control over the variables; he can only report what has happened or what is happening. It also
includes attempts by researchers to discover causes even when they cannot control the variables. The method of
research utilized in descriptive research is survey methods of all kinds including comparative and co relational
methods.

RESEARCH METHOD: Data collection method.

TYPES OF DATA: -

In our project wehave classified the data into two specific types:

PRIMARY DATA: -

As it is known that primary data are collected a fresh and for the first time, and thus happen to be original in
character. So, in order to collect this type of data various methods are being used, such as:

 OBSERVATION
 QUESTIONNAIRE
 INTERVIEW

SECONDARY DATA: -

Secondary data is the data that has already been collected through primary sources and made readily available
for researchers to use for their own research. It is a type of data that has already been collected in the past. So, in
order to collect this type of data various forms are being used, such as:

 JOURNAL
 NEWSPAPERS
 PUBLISHED SOURCES
 WEBSITES
 GOVERNMENT RECORDS
SAMPLE DESIGN: The sample technique adopted is random sampling method. Since sample is going to be
chosen from different areas so it is geographical sampling which is predefined so as to get maximum
information, which rare true and reliable without biasness.

SAMPLING METHOD:Convenience Sampling.

SAMPLE SIZE: -

We have used sampling method for survey purpose. The sample size for questionnaire is 64.

PERIOD OF STUDY: -

This study is carried out for a period of 4 months. It commenced on 25thJanuary 2021 and completed on
30thApril 2021.

FIELD AREA: -

This research study work is carried out in PATNA(Bihar).

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT: -

The research instrument for the purpose was questionnaire and some personnel interviews of some customers.
LIMITATIONS:-

These are limitations with respect to the market survey and the instrument used for the market research: -

 The study is limited to the area of Patna (Bihar).

 Data collected is based on questionnaire and other secondary information.

 The information collected by the method adopted is limited.

 Non availability of adequate data also limited the scope of the study to some extent.

 Respondents were reluctant to go into details because of their busy schedule.

 The result would be varying according to the individuals as well as time.

 Some respondents hesitate to give the actual situation.

 The findings and conclusion are based on knowledge and experience of the respondents sometime may

subject to bias.

 Some respondents level of seriousness while filling the questionnaire is doubted (although effort was

made to make the process more interactive and interesting).

 Since there is no standard scale to measure level of satisfaction, therefore, the findings cannot be said to

be accurate.

 Due to time constant and other imperative work load during the time period it could not be made

possible to explore more area of concern pertaining to study.

 Due to fast pace of life and this pandemic situation, some customer was not able to do justification to the

questionnaires.
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

1. WhichproductoftheLGdoyouown?

There are a whole range of reasons why customers buy a product or service. They usually buy to solve either real or
perceived problems. They want to feel better after having made the decision to buy a product or service than they did
before.Because people buy goods and services to satisfy their individual needs and wants. In other words, people
buy the benefits that goods and services offer benefits that fulfill their needs and wants. Keep in mind that benefits
are not the same as features.

53.1% of the respondents purchase television 37.5% purchased refrigerator, 25% purchased washing machine
14.1% purchase water purifier, 10.9% purchase music system, and 15.6% purchased sound bar, 23.4% purchase
air conditioner, 14.1% purchase microwave oven, 15. 6% purchase vacuum cleaner.

The condition according to the respondents is that most of the people around 50% have purchase television and
rest purchased other products so it is clear that they must come up with the idea so that the customer satisfaction
toward other products can also be increased.
2. Howlonghaveyoubeenusingourproduct?

Majority of the respondents 37.5% have the LG product with them is around 1 to 3 years whereas 28.1% have
the product with them is around 3 to 6 year, 15. 6% have the product with them is 6 year and above 18.8% have
the product with them is around 0 to 1 year this clarifies that most of the consumers uses the product and
services of LG for a long time.
3. Areyousatisfiedwiththeproductfeaturesprovidedbythecompany?

In today's time company are adding breakthrough features and technologies in their product as value
addition for the customer’s features has almost become synonymous to higher sales.

37.5% after respondents are highly satisfied with the features whereas as 40.6% are satisfied, 15.6% are neutral,
3.1% are dissatisfied and 3.1% are highly dissatisfied

The condition according to the respondents that most of the people are highly satisfied and satisfiedBut in the
same way adding neutral dissatisfied and high dissatisfied 21.8% are lagging behind.

Thus LG as a company must improve the feature a little bit so that at least the neutral can be converted to
satisfied and highly satisfied one.
4. Areyousatisfiedwiththeproductdesignbythecompany?

In today's time companies are adding breakthrough designs in their product as value addition for the customer
better design has almost become the part of higher sale.

42.2% of the respondents are highly satisfied with the designs provided by the company whereas 30 5. 9% are
satisfied, 17. 2 % are neutral, 1. 6% are dissatisfied, and 3. 1% are highly dissatisfied.

Condition according to the respondents are that most of the customers are satisfied with the product design
provided by the company only few percentage of the customer are not satisfied so we can say that only a little
bit of design can be improved so that the neutral and dissatisfied and Highly dissatisfied can be pushed toward
satisfaction.
5. Whatimpressedyoumostabouttheproduct?

In today's time companies are trying various tactics to impress customers by uplifting various things a customer
want.
