It is no more a matter of personal choice, but a simple social need in conditions of elegance and hygiene. Body sprays and deodorants are actually a necessity in one's personal health. The deodorant industry has grown away and beyond its basic efficiency, and is becoming related to ones personality and personal style affirmation. Deodorants are no longer yet another camouflaging smell, but is more of your representative of one's aspect which is recognized in the intensity of the smell- whether strong or gentle, the brand and its communicated brand personality- whether competitive or adventurous etc.
Earlier when the deodorants were launched in the market, they were considered the high quality products. The prices were also high because promotional expenses were also high. Businesses focused on those buyers who have been ready to buy, usually the higher income group. Informing the actual consumers and product tests was an expensive affair.
Now the deodorants have captured an enormous market. New competition are getting into the market, new features are launched in to the product and the circulation is getting broadened. Prices are also decreasing down which is becoming an financial product. To preserve the new product, that is, deodorant, new features are being put into it like the benefits of new fragrances, trendy bottle design, lasting results, anti bacterial features etc.
The deodorant market in India will probably be worth Rs 1000 crore. The success of deodorants in the urban market has motivated the leading players in the sector to unveiling more variations in this product. There remain 15 media dynamic brands with new brands getting into the market every month. Specially the Deodorant segment is growing at approx 42% in value and 37% in amount.
Thus it's a wild competition between your brands to gain the maximum market show and consumer's "mind-space. " To be able to appeal to the consumers and lead them to acquire and repurchase, it is important to understand the perceptions of the target consumer regarding the brand, the utilization, the necessity, and the product. Perhaps one of the most effective way to do this is to comprehend the consumer's personality, since his choice of brand and product is only an expansion of his own persona. This job aims to comprehend the same with regards to the WILDSTONE brand of deodorants.

Judgment sampling will involve the choice of subjects who are most advantageously placed or in the best position to supply the information required.
They could realistically be expected to own expert knowledge by virtue of experiencing gone through the knowledge and functions themselves and may perhaps be able to provide good data or information to the researcher.

This research describes data and characteristics about the populace or happening being analyzed. Descriptive research right answers the questions who, what, when, where and how
Although the info explanation is factual, accurate and systematic, the study cannot illustrate what caused the situation.
The description is employed for frequencies, averages and other statistical calculations.
Qualitative research often gets the aim of description and experts may follow it up with examinations of why the observations can be found and what the implications of the conclusions are.
In simple, descriptive research deals with everything that may be counted and researched. However there are always constraints compared to that. Our research must have a direct effect to the lives of individuals all around us.
Similarly the results of the project will be good for both company and the consumers because the company will use these key results about the consumer's brand and consumption perception to design its marketing and other strategical principles to put the brand in the consumers brain.

SUGGESTIONS
SUGGESTION 1
PHYSIQUE
Wild stone deodorants were launched in a metallic color bottle. The gold color of the container symbolizes self assurance.
After three years, company launched three different variants of fragrance but in a different product packaging colors.
The product packaging color shouldn't be altered so frequently. People realize the product by its physical appearance too. In addition they recall the merchandise by its color, custom logo etc. The color of the Wild stone product has been positioned in the consumer's brain slowly.
Axe was launched in India in the entire year 1999. Since that time the product gets the same product packaging color i. e black and is the number 1 brand among the deodorant sector.
So the company should not change the color of the packaging so frequently. This makes consumers confuse about the actual brand.
SUGGESTION 2
BRAND Brand AND BRAND SYMBOL
Survey results show that only a few percentage of the mark consumers were able to realize the brand company logo unit and the symbol.
The company should increase marketing of its brand by developing campaigns centered on the brand, showcasing only the custom logo.
This will help the brand gain more prominence of personal information in the consumers head.
Repetitive advertising, with added focus on the logo product, should be carried out to increase brand familiarity
People affiliate the logo and color with the brand. A solid association makes certain that the products has a high top-of-the-mind recall
SUGGESTION 3
CULTURE
Consumers have a tendency to perceive the origin of the product by its name rather than reading the label to find out where it is actually made.
Wild stone can be an Indian brand. Every advertisement of wild rock has an essence of Indian tradition. The backdrop music, the ladies in saree and the company don't take overseas models for the ad.
STRATEGY-New variations with suffixes put into the brand name, which pertains to the Indian tradition. For instance they can try the name as "Wild Stone SUTRAZZ". This may be an ground breaking way to charm to the Indian masses.
A type of variations with such words portraying seduction can be launched
SUGGESTION 4
SALON PRESENCE
Wild Stone products are not available in salons.
Brands like AXE and Playground Avenue are the major rivals of Wild Rock. Their products are available in saloons.
Firstly, It will make customers aware about the Wild Rock products available in the market and also make them aware of its new launches.
Secondly, it can help the business to increase sales.
So the business can launch a fresh package with their products well suited for salon.
SUGGESTION 5
INNOVATIVE DISPLAY
As we see that every soda companies provide a small refrigerator to the outlets where they sell their products. These refrigerators are used to store and screen their products.
Wild rock should provide dummy refrigerators to the retailers who buy large amount of wild natural stone deodorants from the company to sell. These small refrigerators should be designed such a way that this can screen the deodorant bottles.
Adding to the progressive idea is to include a fresh tagline which resembles with the brand and says why the brand is stored in the refrigerator. Eg. "Too hot to resist".
SAMPLE
SUGGESTION 6
SOCIAL MARKETING
Digital marketing spends in the Indian ad industry is estimated to be a meagre Rs. 900 crore, only 4% of total marketing expenditures. Yet its reach techniques in a geometric progression and is considered the best approach to touch the internet savvy Technology X. Obtaining a online web space on cultural networking sites and sites has become a bare minimum requirement.
STRATEGY-Interactive rooms (that is monitored 24*7) provide consumers to express must be founded. The amount of interactivity will establish the idea of difference.
