KEY FINDINGS
It is found that major portion of the customers who visit the Indian

Terrain store are from the area that forms the primary and secondary trading area of the Velachery store and hence they are going to shift when the new store opens in Phoenix mall.
There is going to be at least 40% decrease in the footfalls in EA store

due to the opening of the new store.

This is a probabilistic study and hence no guaranteed shift isexpected.

CONCLUSION
Consumer perception mapping is a never ending activity. It should be

continuously carried out by any company if it wants to be at pace with its consumers needs and have and competitive edge over its competitors.
Perception about the brand is a major factor affecting the turnover

produced by the brand.

Gap analysis is required in order to understand the factors affecting the

movement of the product, it gives a better understanding of why the product is unable to achieve the set target.
