EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Newspaper Industry can be said as the most trusted Industry as people believe whatever is written in the newspaper as facts and day to day happenings. My motive was to broaden the spectrum of trust and acquire more customers for Business Standard Newspaper For every industry to be successful in its domain, it is necessary that a detailed analysis be done regarding its customers, the competitive environment, the customer’s preferences and the demand. This was perhaps one of the most important purposes of my project i.e. to collect a primary data. My job was to meet the Managers of Banks and various other Financial Institutions, get their feedback on Business Standard and other financial dailies they read and explain them the subscription plan. It was a great learning experience on field. I got hands – on exposure to sales and the response of the people with whom I interacted help me in a great way to get a proper analytical data for concluding my project. The project put light on some facts and helped me understand the customer behavior and their preferences.

INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY

HISTORY OF THE NEWSPAPER INDUSTRY:

    Another reason why the marketing budget is so important is that Roberts’s media is changing from print format to digital as they seek to achieve their object of increasing ROCE to 8%. Digital media is a new market for the business and therefore will need extensive research to see what the target markets’ needs and wants are. Although the marketing department had previously won awards for the way it promoted print magazines, but was concerned that the new technology would require a very different approach.

However, Harry is being stubborn and dismissive stating that the marketing budget is un-important and will not provide additional funds. This could therefore mean that the businesses target the wrong people and that their objective to increase the ROCE to 8% could be dented and un-applicable.…
