FINDINGS
Having collected, arranged and analyzed the data, we are now left with the issue of summarizing the findings based on the various interviews conducted.
The study shows that the consumer is affected by various variables which gives rise to brand preference; examples are behavioral determinant, price of product, and culture and brand availability of product.
The study shows that the producers of the local beverage have identifies that their brand are not up to standard when compared with f0oreign beverage and this is due to the fact that they are not adequately funded. Most of the respondents on the other hand indicated that the producers are being mythical in their production and packaging by adding stones and creating an unpleasant taste for their products. This shows how myopic the producers are about their market share., the producers have not realized that they are in the business of providing for a large market and the foreign producers who are also their competitors are providing these same products.
The findings also revealed that the producers do not advertise. This may be due to the fact that they have to protect the image of their company and attract more consumers. The producers should understand that advertising helps to build a strong demand for their product and that the building of brand recognition are accomplished when the product is finally accepted.
It was also learnt that the producers believe that their problem is finance which has resulted in their small scale of production and poor production but they forget that people are ready to pay more for better products provided their needs are satisfied. With these, their unethical practices should be stopped and at least make do with their present capital wisely.
The finding also reveal that the producers are not aware of the importance of market research, they revealed that their inability to carry out the research was due limited resources available to them.
The finding shows that price gives, rise to brand preference. The information, from the data show that so much is left to be expected from the producers of local beverage. There is hope that this situation may change in the future. The producers should apply measures of refinement to satisfy consumers needs in order to survive their bleak future.
Producers therefore must be must be customer oriented to succeed. This concept places the consumers of beverage at the center of organizational planning to satisfy their needs and wants. As greater turnovers create high profit.
