Research objectives:
Any activity starts with identification of the specific objectives. Without clearly defining the objective an activity becomes direction less. Optimistically an objective provides a suitable direction to an activity.

 Secondary objective

To achieve the primary objective, some other secondary objectives are as under. To know the preference & awareness of respondents about different scooterate. To get suggestion from the current customer so that it will be helpful for company and in future how they improve their services or product. To know whether customer would like to suggest any other to inform to their friend and relative in future. To know what is the satisfaction level of the customer about their company product. To know for which purpose the people purchase the product. To know that people give more importance to which matters or factors while choose the scooterate. To know the awareness of the company among the people. To know the sources from where people get the information.

Research Design: -

Research is a process of getting the information about the product or service by using a strategy & plans so as to obtain answer of research question & control the variances. In the marketing there are three types of research design that are descriptive design, experimental design and quite experimental design. I am using in this report first one descriptive design. This descriptive design describes the characteristics of certain group to estimate the promotion to make a specific prediction and to develop the influences. The design could be used to study how customer behave when a new sales promotion program introduce it dose not however determine extends to association between different variable. Example, age and income of people association with response to sales promotion. In this

descriptive design there are two types of design that is the one is cross sectional design and second is focus group design. In this descriptive design I am using cross sectional design and that is gives the present picture of the situation at a given point of time. This cross sectional design is used when company want to know his position in the market between the large competitions and out of the total population of the viewers, the cross section design is to be employed to gather information.

Research Plan
DATA SOURCES:

Primary data-sources: - Questionnaire We collect primary data during the course of doing experiments in an experimental research but in case we do research of the descriptive type and perform survey whether sample survey or census survey. Then we can obtain primary data either through observation or through a direct communication with respondent. In another way was personal interview. Secondary data-sources: Promotional document of different company which is collected from news paper, magazines, etc. Method of data collection:

This method of data collection is quite popular product survey. In this method a questionnaire is sent to the person concerned with a request to answer the questions and return to the questionnaire. A Questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed or typed in a definite on a form of or set of forms. The Questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are expected to read and understand the Questions and write down the in your answer.

RESEARCH APPROCHE:

Primary data can be collected in five ways: observation, focus group, surveys, and behavior data and experiments. From the above ways the survey is best suitable approach for getting as much as possible accurate information. Surveys are best suitable for descriptive research. I undertake surveys to learn about the consumer beliefs, preferences, knowledge, and satisfaction. In short here survey method is more suitable and reliable to gathering information from the market relating to Nokia Priority

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:

The questionnaire is prepared for the market survey. QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGNING The questionnaire was design keeping in mind the objective of the research. Thus most of the questions were being formulated to compare with other scooterate. The questions were closed ended once to get exact response from the responder. STEP IN DESIGNING QUESTIONNAIRE 1) Types of information to be collected While attempting to design a questionnaire, the researcher has to first ask what type of information he needed from survey. He should seriously consider this question, as it will have considerable repercussion on the usefulness of survey. For if he omits to collect information on some reverent and vital aspect of his survey, his research study is unlikely to be useful. The different types of information, which are generally sought in marketing research are, 1. Facts 2. Awareness 3. Opinions 4. Attitude 5. Reasons Both questionnaires designed for survey is mainly consist of facts, awareness information, opinions, and reasons.

2) Types of question The second important aspect in the designing a question is to decide which types of question are to be used. Question can be classified in various ways. Questionnaire contains following type information. 1. Close ended question 2. Open ended question 3. Multiple choice question 4. Ranking & Rating question Mostly all questions are multiple type questions. There are only two openended type questions.

Sampling plan
SAMPLANING ELEMENT:

People are satisfied with the Nokia Priority or not.

SAMPLE SIZE:

Survey is conducted on 125 persons in patan city.

SAMPLLING TECHNIQUE:

Probability Sampling:

Stratified sampling: With stratified sampling, we are using quota sampling for consumers. The population is divided into mutually exclusive groups like as area & random samples are drawn from each group. Random Sampling: under this sampling technique each member of the population as known and equals probability of being included in the sample. In consumer research survey I usually select customers of Nokia as the sampling units. It may not be easy to prepare as the sampling frame as it is very difficult to get list of customers although area may be completely represented through maps.

CONTACT METHOD:

Personal interview or Field work. Personal Interview It is a direct from of investigation involving face-to-face communication feedback information. It offers a sense of participation. It is more flexible from of data collection. Use of unstructured open-end question is possible. Complex questions can be asked. The interview can have question to secure more information. Observation approach can be combined age. Can used to get views opinions and attitudes of responder.

LIMITATION OF SURVEY
Any things have its own limitation so this type this project has also little limitation which is as under. One and big limitation of the project is that I am taking few sample for the research and also it is on the particular specified area only. I am taking sample from the patan city only for the research purpose so it is not enough for taking any decision so it is limitation for that. The distribution of these 100 respondents is also not equally to the different geographic areas age, occupation etc. which can result in to misleading figures. Here time limit is also fixed so it is one limitation of the project.

The information filled in the questionnaire by the respondents may be biased. Another problem that we have faced is the poor response of some consumers.
