Wellness-fitness centre

 Traditional exercise
By : Virag Shah
Jaygopal Raghavan  |  Argues in support of  "Traditional exercise"  |  2 years ago
It is actually a combination of both. Wellness centres are a result of shortage of time. But the best all round exercise that a person could get is swimming or all round games like basketball where you run, stretch and jump.
anuradha  |  Argues in support of  "Wellness-fitness centre"  |  2 years ago
Traditional exercise is the best way to stay fit in life always. Because of time constraints someone may not get time to go for Wellness-fitness centre but u can do few exercises daily on ur own at home.
NATTERAJA R. ARIKRISHNAN  |  Argues in support of  "Traditional exercise"  |  2 years ago
Traditional exercises are good, however there is more attraction to the fitness center where people practice through machines/apparatus. The fitness center should give proper guidance to the participants on the methodology to use the machines in...

Natteraja the multi level marketing is still in its infancy in our country. It will pick up over the time as the income levels increases.
NATTERAJA R. ARIKRISHNAN  |  Argues in support of  "no"  |  2 years ago
All multilevel marketing companies are the failure, except the Amway. Earlier Amway will never go for ad in TV and now a days they are in TV ad which shows their set back up to some extent. However Amway products are good but very costlier and...

A brand is a name that distinguishes a product from others. It has its own identity in the market with its symbol and tagline. When we talk about brands in rural markets some of the names which come to our mind are Rajdoot Bikes,Ghari Detergent,Dolly TV and chic shampoo etc Findings indicated that good quality, value for money and sense of identity with brand were likely to act as key determinants of a FMCG brand in rural India. Better finish and good looks, recommendations from retailers were found be key determinants of a consumer durable brand in rural India. Lets throw some light on agro inputs also like pesticides, fertilizers, manure, seeds, tractors, harvesters, pumps and threshers etc. In this regards marketers are following market specialization strategy.HYV seeds are also becoming popular among the farmers. It is a known fact in rural areas that price plays an important role in rural markets for purchasing the products. Now the New Era of marketing is changing the...

What Indian Business Education don’t provide for the Environment. Value generated and transacted in Business is the hallmark and pillar of the skill generated from a Business education. A business when it sell products in India, they don’t worry about the affordability of their wares by the masses let alone functionality which may be part of it. A business incurs around 40% of fixed cost component along with may be 30% variable cost and probably the rest as ‘conversion cost’. What Business education teach us and what is followed in  Efficient economies is they fix a breakeven point say 100 units of sale. These 100 units will provide the years cost incurred. After this point they will start giving discounts say 10% or so, so that more of products will move at lowered costs. If products are priced far above these three costs then the demand will subside and the production line will stagnate even for normal production. Two things are required in the environment for this process to...

Free Style Marketing How many times have you been to a business conference that guided the world to sell things for free? Well, if you never heard about one, then you need to know about Nokia World 2007 Conference where Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief talks to the world referring to this. The campaign broke all the traditional rules of selling a service product. As per Chris, the new way to sell today has changed focus from the actual product to the complementary product or supporting product that could enhance the selling of original product. Chris talks about the new selling concept of 0 + 2 = 2 in contrary to the old concept of 1+1 = 2. Now, what the hell does he mean by this Maths..? Consider Company A that sells both - the products and the services on the same products. As per the traditional earning model Company A earned Rs 1 revenue from selling the product and Rs 1 revenue from the services on the product. The modern way of selling sacrifices the revenue on product to earn...
