From this market survey, it can be concluded that nowadays consumers have become really conscious about the products they purchase.
In the shampoo industry, during the old days the only thing the consumer used to keep in mind while purchasing was the brand name or else the person/celebrity who used to endorse it, but now things have changed. Consumers not only check the effectiveness but also the ingredients.
Shampoo like Dove, Sunsilk, Garnier fructis, etc are very regular among the households and the main source is television advertisement, i.e., the ads make the brands known among the mass and rest is on their usage.
