CHAPTER 2
CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE REVIEW
AWARENESS
Awareness in basic terms- what number of individuals know the brand? Usually, awareness is
estimated through overview that solicits members an agreement from questions like which
brand comes to your mind if want to purchase insurance? All in all, organisations measure
unaided awareness – what perecent of survey members referenced the brand with no sort of
indication.
2.11 BRAND
A brand is an thing, idea or service that is openly recognised from various product, service or
idea with the goal that is very well may be effectively imparted and generally show cased. A
brand name is a name of the indisputable products, idea or service. Branding is the route
towards making and scattering the brand name. Branding can applied to the whole corporate
identity just as to singular service and product names.
2. Brand recognition
Brand recognition is also called as aided recall and refers to the capacity of the customers to
effectively separate the brand when they come into contact with it. This does not required that
the consumer recognize the brand name. Or maybe, it suggest that buyers can see the brand
when given it at the purpose of sale or in the wake of recall its visual bundling. As opposed to
mark review, where couple of purchases can recall brand names spontaneously in a given of
category, when provoked with a brand name, a bigger number of buyers are commonly ready
to recognise it.
2.14 PERCEPTION
Perception is the qualities purchases joined to a brand. For instance, perception for Bajaj
Allianz will be security. To quantify perspective on an insurance organisation, survey will
have “How might you ranks insurance brand as far as security? And different question will be
asked on quality and performance”. Result of the survey un cover the brand perception. List
of questions relies upon the what the objective for the brand and how you need clients to
think about your image.

SUGGESTIONS
• As Bajaj Allianz is existing from past almost all are aware about its brand
• In the promotion and advertisement of the service organisation should incorporate once
VIP as a brand envoy with goal this add can end up more progressively successful and
eye catching
• Organisation must support important occasion like World-cup, IPL and any occasion
identifies with films awards and near by projects
CONCLUSIONS
After taking a project for 6 weeks at Bajaj Allianz general insurance limited and analysing
survey or questionnaire depend on the investigation of brand awareness and perception, I
reached to conclusion the Bajaj Allianz general insurance limited having numerous
extraordinary characteristics. The product scope of the organisation is entirely prominent in
the market. Among the private players in the insurance sector the organisation is extremely
great. In addition, profit ratio of organisation is expanding that demonstrates the splendid
efficiency of showcasing division of the organisation. In short, general execution of the
company is excellent.
At last I might want to thank my guide Mr. Kotesh Bandikar and sales manager for their
direction and support. I might also like to thank everyone of the who have been so co-
operative through the survey.
