The research instruments used in collecting the data were questionnaires and oral interview. The respondents comprised of the personnel and customers of the firm.
In organizing and presenting data collected tables, frequencies and percentages were used. Data analysis and interpretation gave the followings.
-That there is lack of proper integration of the Marketing concept in the firm.
- That most customers choose their cleaning firm because of their services efficiency and prompt delivery rather than on location variables and dispositions.
-The firm inability to meet customer’s services needs/requirement through adequate provision of enough collection centers and patrol van was contributing to customer use of direct visit to firm approach. It therefore depicts lack of well planned and good distribution services it was equally discovered that apart from the mounting of sign boards, the company engages in radio advert but this has not been very effective and other media are not used and also the use of more and effective promotional activities by service firm in order to attract more customers attention.
The company should sign the service package in a way it can be delivered and performed effectively and efficiently in consideration of time and labour cost.
