    -ike any other &inancial products, sales of giving finance is largely dependent

    on how well company plans out their marketing strategies which helps to

    increase visibility and build a distinct brand image. -ooking at the intense

    competition it is become very necessary for company to make a name for

    !ndia is emerging as a global automobile giant. !n recent years this

    industry has made pioneering efforts in adopting modern technology and

    allowing the entry of foreign players. This is well supported by the economic

    conditions particularly in the financial sector and in foreign direct investment.

    +uring the last decade, conscious efforts have been made to finetune state

     policy to enable the !ndian automobile industry reali/es its potential to the

    fullest. The freeing of the industry from this restrictive environment has

    helped it to itself to global development.

    3ITERATURE REVIE

    The world is full of stimuli. A stimulus is any unit of input affecting one or 

    more of the five senses sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing.The process by

    which we select , organiseand interpret these stimuli into a meaningful and

    coherent picture is called perception.

    !n essence, perception is how we see the world around us and how we

    recogni/e that we need some help in making a purchase decision. "eople

    cannot perceive every stimulus in their environment. Therefore, they use

    selective eposure to notice and which to ignore.

    )arketers must recogni/e the importance of cues or signals, in

    customers perception of products. )arketing managers first identify the

    important attributes, such as price or :uality, that the targeted customers want

    in a product and then design signals to communicate these attributes.

    Customers also associate :uality and reliability with certain brand names.

    Companies watch their brand identity closely, in large part because a strong

    link has been established between perceived brand value and customers

    loyalty.

     #very time you lose a customer, there0s a reason why. +o you really know

    what your customers think about your business, your offerings, or your 

    service; Are they having good or bad eperiences; Are you e:uipped with the

    insight you need to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, and make the

    changes that matter; #ntrepreneurs are often too busy to really take the time to

    tap into what customers are really thinking.

     depends the guarantee and warranty terms to which the customer is entitled. A

    customer epects trouble free service during the guarantee period. Thereafter it

    is epected that a product will last to its full productive life with minimum

    down time and the vendor will provide the re:uired support service to ensure

    the customer is not put to trouble.

    &or adopting >apanese management or for customer oriented

    management we should first have the willingness and a determination much

    above the petty personal gains. !t needs an attitudinal change. -ooking

    towards present socioeconomic and political conditions such change is not

    foreseen in immediate future. )arket forces will have to play the game with

    only customer in mind if !ndia has to make global presence. There is little time

    in hand as we are having challenges from all sides. (mall nations like =orea,

    Taiwan, (ingapore etc. have already surpassed us. These nations are working

    on a vision and resultant plans. !t is the right time for market players to

     pamper the customer. As the saying goes, the four deadly sins of corporate

    managementcomplacency, blindness, megalomania, and greed. fit everything

    else is overhead?.

      $emember that a customer always buys a product or service with a lot

    of epectations which he has derived from the promotional inputs of the

     company or other sources including wordof mouth . (o a customer would be

    satisfied when "erformance is e:ual to #pectation while would not be

    satisfied when "erformance does not match with #pectations. Now this

    epectation is what has been derived from perception. "erception is not good

    or bad, right or wrong, it is @ust the way someone @udges an eperience based

    on their value system of what they believe should happen. (ince people are

    uni:ue, each of their perceptions are uni:ue .%n the other hand each situation

    is a point of contact with an employee that will tell the customer a truth

    about the companyBs idea of customer service. #ach situation will create

    epections of what the net eperience will probably be like.
