Nonetheless. The research proves consumers being aware and loyal of the brand of ice-cream they eat. Results conclude that ice-cream advertisements are more effective on females than males. When asked what brand they think of first when asked of ice-cream Walls the most popular brand. has an excellent brand image established in the minds of the ice-cream loving market. 25% of respondents confirmed that advertisements create a feeling of consuming icecreams.CONCLUSION Our results show very little variation in responses from all age groups. They prefer it once a week or almost every day with male preferring to have ice-cream more frequently with giving highest priority to taste of ice-cream followed by the quality consistently being provided to them. Meaning with walls being the leading brand consumers most aware about has also established a strong loyal consumer base. Similarly these Ice cream eaters are also very brand conscious. what ad they had recently scene or could remember . being one of the oldest market players. As per our results we conclude that ice-cream is the most popular sweet dish amongst all age groups young and adults. Brands such as Hico and Igloo were completely lost in this segment but still walls managed to come in with a good 20%(approx) share. Although Omore came in quiet close in the 18-25 age group segment with 30% and 40% in total they still need to struggle harder to take walls place in the minds of the consumers. In an overall evaluation taste is the superior and most important factor that consumers look for in ice-cream which then followed by consistency in quality. Majority of respondents replied with “sometimes” again leading to a positive relation towards ice-cream advertisements. over 60% of respondents replied with Omore. Females are most sensitive to this science. males are more concerned about taste than females but however quality plays a significant role in both segments preference. OMORE Page 35 . Walls. Advertisements also play a significant role in driving consumers towards consuming icecream. The second link we found was that consumers like to eat ice-cream quiet often. Omore has clearly started to push itself into the minds of consumers by making sure it‟s ads are remembered by consumers. Cake as a sweet dish is the second most popular sweet dish again amongst all groups even if analyzed according to gender. Even responses from both genders seem to be uniform with one another. As per our result . When we asked them to recall . This was followed by billboards hence the two most popular channels to target masses were effectively used in Omore‟s market campaign. Consumers believe consistent exposure to an ad of a particular brand would lead them to want more of that brand.
