Since the

their
own drawbacks. Besides, the information to be collected is quite detailed which

3. Scene 1: Nivedita, an interviewer for a
data collection agency, approached a couple at the
mall seeming to be hailing from a rural background and asked the
woman, if she would like
to participate in a marketing research survey. The couple
quickly walked away. A group of
teenage girls overheard Nivedita and asked her if they could
participate. They were from
rural areas, and they would like to answer Nivedita's questions.
Nivedita was ecstatic! She
could fill a good portion of her sample with these helpful
girls!
Scene 2: Nivedita had a list of names and contact details of 100
women in Faisapur in U.P.
She started with the top 5 names. In 4 out of 5 cases, the women
either didn’t respond to her
request or refused to participate. Only one woman took the
survey. How will she reach out
to these 100 shortlisted women in one week? It seemed to be a
daunting task as of now.
Nivedita was confused.
The reason was simple: The "normal" rules for
conducting a marketing research survey do
not apply when the target sample is a Rural population.
Nivedita was one of the women researchers who had been appointed
by an NGO for
conducting a research on the sanitation and personal hygiene
methods being used by women
in rural areas. The objective was to capture the aftermath of
the awareness campaigns been
done on account of the Indian Household Latrines (IHHL), School
Sanitation and Hygiene
Education and Anganwadi toilets. After a whole lot of debate and
discussion, it had been
decided that the respondents for this survey shall be rural
girls / women ranging from a broad
age group of 12-60 years. For conducting a survey among this
wide audience, two things
were done:
· A list of women was procured from secondary
sources of data
· The women were segregated on the basis of age
into the following categories: 12-17, 18-25,
26-35, 36 – 45, 46-60
The sampling method had also been very scientifically decided.
However, reaching out to
these women unknown to the researcher, unrelated to each other,
was not working out, no
matter how scientific the approach may be. With this very first
experience shared by
Nivedita as a part of the pilot, the team was a bit confused on
whether their understanding
of the rural research methods is correct. Anxiety was creeping
in as to what should be the
ideal method to choose this sample of rural girls / women?
a. To choose this sample of rural girls / women, which sampling
methods will you consider
most appropriate and why? Suggest any two methods and justify
your answer. (5 Marks)
b. Suggest some innovative interview methods to reach out to the
target audience

while the flashy packages offer the ‘oh-so’irresistable’ deals,

3. Nannytracker.com is the new kid on the block;
a new mobile-app based service which helps
you keep a tab on your children and their nanny while you’re out
of the house. The
Nannytracker, a new service for working parents, allows them the
facility of home care
viewing on their smartphones. The subscriber can view real-time
video through a
smartphone that is capable of showing video clips of footage of
the home’s interior space.
The app gives the user a comprehensive view of what their kids are
up to while they are
away.
Besides the clandestine video clips of the home, that get captured
periodically through a
hidden camera and are posted to the parents, the smartphone app can
be installed at both the
parents and nanny’s end, and can work as a vital communication
tool between them. The
app provides easy messaging between parents, nannies, or any other
caretaker, all within the
account. Hence, any important information such as medication
dosages, nappy changing
frequency, food and play instructions don’t get missed out.
The app also allows the Nanny to click pictures of the baby and
post them so that they remain
in one location/ account. The Daily News Feed provides an overview
of their activities, as
well as all the data that was tracked, messages that were
exchanged, and photos that were
shared.
The service is being targeted to working women living in urban
metro cities such as Delhi
and Mumbai; many of whom have domestic helpers to take care of
their children during
working hours.
Although the service intends to provide parents with peace of
mind, it could work equally
well for pet owners.
The app is compatible both the iOS and android platforms. Priced
at Rs. 999 on Playstore
and App store, as one-time download charges, each member of the
caretaker team needs to
download the app by paying the installation charge. The charge
includes installation of the
camera, all app-related services and unlimited data storage.
As if this is not enough, the app also allows you to add another
child to the same account.
And this one’s completely free of charge. You will receive
separate notification for both the
kids; however, you have to ensure that they are in the same
location.
Now this is what you call women’s empowerment!!
a. Discuss and evaluate the marketing mix for Nannytracker.com (5
