Conclusion
Unilever Bangladesh limited is one of the leading multinational companies
in Bangladesh. During our site investigation, We got an opportunity to
observe the overall activities of managing retail environment. This
report has provided some interesting insight into what kind of service
the customers and retailers are getting and what is their expectation
from Unilever Customer Development Department. It also analyzed
the perceptions of retailers like how it has helped to build the
relationship with UBL as well as increase the sales. As it can be seen
that the relationship with retailers has already strengthen now, UBL
should try to attract the customer who are not fully satisfied and bring
them to the positive side of the road so that strong relationship with
the customers should be maintained. UBL should also provide
more value to its loyal customers. Finally, we would say that this report
at UBL has increased our practical knowledge of Business
Administration and made our BBA education more complete
and applied.
Thank You !
