comparison to prepaid connection.
In Airtel postpaid connections there is no package provided by the company like

SUGGESTION

After doing a research study certain suggestion have come from my site which will help
Airtel to attract more customer if the proposed recommendation are taken into account
It is important to increase the customer base in semi urban and rural areas,
which offer a huge potential, which still remains.
Prices of the Airtel should be made more competitive.
Company should try to emotionally attach the consumer to the company.
If the company wants to grow & develop, it must increase it marketing not only
to urban areas but also rural areas where it is lagging behind.
From marketing point of view the company should display its name on the
premises as it leaves clear picture & identification marks in the mind of
customers.
Since distribution is a key determinant of success for all telecom companies.
If the company increases the customer list, company have to do adopt a good
advertising media therefore, a clear picture will be make in customer mind about
the company and companies plans and policy.

CONCLUSION
In Gwalior the mobile market is very competitive cash & every mobile service provider
MSP is competition need to need with each other.
As we know airtel I a new star in sky of mobile so it is facing very tough competitions but
it is also presenting a healthily competition to others MSP.
The brand image mostly depend upon promotional strategy, Airtel has to do more
promotional activities. The brand ambassador of Airtel . The famous file state Shahrukh
Khan & Karina Kapoor is a major attraction of Airtel. The visibility and hording of Airtel is
increasing that indicate that Airtel has due to government policy and companies
strategy.
My conclusion says that Airtel has number three but is because it come very late in
Gwalior but its customer range is increasing the day not say for which Airtel will be no I
in mobile industries of Gwalior.
