3.2. Springtime Our Social Responsibility:-

The month of November was dedicated to the future, the ones closest to the Chacha Nehrus heart, our children! A host of activities were lined up on Saturday, 13th November and 14th November to make kids feel special. Gaming Zones are the newest and the most popular way of childrens fun activities. Why should these zones be accessible only to fortunate individuals like us who can afford this luxury? Owing to this, 50 kids from Aasra, an NGO working towards welfare of destitute & street children in & around the slum communities of Kalyan, Vithalwadi & Ulhasnagar were invited to the newly inaugurated kids destination in Springtime Giggles on Saturday, 13th November for Childrens Day.

[Type text]

Inviting these kids to playsome techno games at the kids gaming zone, was a small effort by Springtime to bring smiles in their dismal lives this Childrens Day. A business flourishes only if it is able to give back to the society for what it takes from it. The Milestone Group recognizes its responsibility towards the local community and we think this is the least we can do to fulfill it.

5. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

[Type text]

[Type text]

Customer Expectation
If you're a service provider, customer expectations can pose a major challenge. That's because expectations are wondrous creatures: They grow, they shrink, they change shape, they change direction. They shift constantly, and they shift easily. And how satisfied (or dissatisfied) your customers are is determined by these expectations and your performance in meeting them.

If expressed as a calculation, customer satisfaction might look something like this: Customer Expectations Of course, customer satisfaction is influenced by a complex interplay of factors; it's hardly as simple as plugging numbers into a formula and calculating the result. Nevertheless, this calculation serves as a reminder that your customers' level of satisfaction can be affected by changes in either their expectations or your performance. That means you have to pay attention to both. And that's where things can get tricky, because how you perceive your performance may differ from how your customers perceive it. In fact, discrepancies between your perceptions and theirs would not be at all unusual; I routinely encounter such discrepancies when I interview a company's service staff as well as its customers. So, even if you're working yourself to the proverbial bone, if customers view you as unresponsive, then you are unresponsive in their eyes. The reverse is also true: If you really are unresponsive, but customers perceive that you deliver superior service, then you do (in their eyes), and you gain little by trying to convince them otherwise. I'm not advocating bumbleheaded service, of course, but merely emphasizing that customer satisfaction is driven by their perceptions, not yours. Their perceptions are their reality, and any overlap between their view of the world and your own may be simply one of those delightful coincidences.

Customer Satisfaction =

Your Performance

[Type text]

Watch for changes

If your customers' satisfaction level is changing, find out if something has happened, either at their end or yours, to affect their expectations or perceptions. Whether that change in satisfaction level is skyward or in the direction of the bottomless pit, analyze what's happening. If satisfaction is rising, find out what you're doing right, so you can keep doing it; if satisfaction is slithering downward, figure out how to reverse the situation before it falls off the chart

Make sure you don't get so wrapped up in delivering services that you lose sight of your customers' expectations and how well they think you're meeting them. Be conscientious in observing what's going on in your customers' environment and your own that could affect their satisfaction level. Just a caution from the We Can Always Dream Department: If you're among the mathematically inclined, don't make the mistake of concluding from the above formula that if customer expectations fall toward zero, customer satisfaction will rise toward infinity. Math works that way, but customers don't. Sigh ...

What Do Customers Want, Anyway?

Have you ever had customers who want the universe, gift-wrapped and delivered yesterday? Was that a resounding YES I heard? Fortunately, most customers don't demand the impossible. In fact, what they want is exceedingly reasonable. And what's that? Well, switch for a moment from your service provider hat to your customer hat. When you're a customer, what matters to
[Type text]

[Type text]

you? What matters when you're at the car dealer, the doctor's office, or the airport? What matters to you when you're on the phone ordering flowers, or awaiting technical support, or ordering a million-calorie pizza and a zero-calorie beverage? Over the years, I've asked many hundreds of participants in my customer service seminars what matters to them when they're the customer. Their responses are overwhelmingly similar, demonstrating that most of us want the same things when we are customers: We want to be treated with respect. We want to be listened to. We don't want to be bounced around or ignored or treated like dummies.

casual research.

6.2. SCOPE OF STUDY

The scope of the study was limited to Kalyan city. As the sample size was 200 clients only. In todays cut throat competition to increase the market share there is need to satisfy the customers needs and wants. For this purpose all organizations are required to conduct research work to understand customers needs and expectation from the company. For every research work the study may have geographical conceptual scope. As subject to the products limited to the study to the thane district. The survey conducted will give the details about the customer satisfaction level responding facilities and services.

GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE
The research is conducted in the Kalyan city, in the major areas where most of the members are satisfied or not with facilities of the club. So covering these major areas can make a good representative sample.

The areas wereRambaug lane no. 0,1,2,3,4,5,. Khadakpada Vaylenagar, Godrej Hill, Beturkargpada, Kala Talaw. Adharwadi Shree Complex, Lal Chawki, Durgadi Killa. Shivaji Chawk Gandhi Chawk, Raheja Complex, Tilak Chawk. Others- Syndicate, Yogidham, Ambarnath, Dombivili, Ulhasnagar.

TIME SCOPE

6.3. RESEARCH DESIGN:

A research design is the logical and systematic planning and directing of piece of research The word design suggests a research plan or design in purposive.

relevant ideas. So, in other words we can say that, Information Is out Come of Processed Data.

There are mainly two types of data:1. 2. Primary data Secondary data

PRIMARY DATA:
It is collected to solve a problem or take the advantage of the opportunity on which decision is pending. In this project the primary data is collected through a survey and well designed questionnaire. It is of close ended questions of multiple choices.

6.4. SAMPLING PLANNING:

It is a framework laid down by the researcher to obtain data from every unit/ representative portion of the population to be used. It is the approach, where only a few units of population under the study is considered for analysis is called sampling method

The two aspects that have been taken into consideration of doing the study:I. Population/ universe of the research defined as :People of Kalyan City.
II.

Sampling frame or the research is developed as: {A} Sampling unit (who is to be surveyed) Members of the Springtime Club.

[Type text]

[Type text]

{B} Sample size (how many are to be surveyed) - 200 {C} Sampling design (how are they selected) - Random probability.

6.5. LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

The survey was limited for Kalyan region only. Random samplings of Members were selected under the Club survey. Due to the restricted time frame the sample size was small. Bigger sample size would have made few aspects more clear. The information gathered was based on members response to questionnaire. Even then a genuine attempt has been made to get correct data from them.
Afternoon time is only the time when members entertain, for rest of the time

is considered as rush hours; so intern can target maximum of 7-8 members per day

10. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSTION

While concluding this, intern agrees with sales promotion activities help to increase the sales of the company.

Springtime Club is carrying out different sales promotion activities like, special schemes to delight the customers, promotion though providing One day free trial etc and they are getting positive response in their sales promotions activities. But these activities are not carrying for the customers to take membership on an account.

SpringtimeClub is not present all over India, so that club can easily go for other states in order to tap the large unrepresented market.
