Abstract
The study has been designed to analyze the factors that are responsible for influencing the purchase decision of customers with respect to selected fast moving consumer goods. A sample of 300 customers at different stores have been selected and studied with reference to various factors of marketing mix. The study attempted to identify factors which are the combination of product, price, place and promotion. Based on the importance given by the respondents on various factors, opinion scores are calculated and relative importance for each of the variables is established. The level of customer satisfaction was divided into low, medium and high.
