SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Kara can increase the sales easily by reduce the
price of the wipes or by increase the pack size
Unbranded wipes are mostly used by restaurants
and they are highly price sensitive customers so
start to make low cost wipes
Kara have to find some new strategies for compete
in baby care segment
Some of the Wipes do not have good demand
[Kara complete cleaning wipes, Prime kitchen
wipes –dry and Prime multipurpose wipes – dry] so
Kara must start some promotional activities for
boosting the sale of these wipes44
