SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

While interacting with the people I found that most of the customers do not invest after opening their demat account .They are not aware about investing in securities market. So some suggestions are:



The brand image of ICICI Securities is good in market but according to customers the



company should focus on providing better services. They should focus on print and electronic media advertisement to make people more

 

about them. They should provide proper guidance to their customers about demat. They should provide offers and facilities to their customers to increase their



attractiveness about demat. Only demat accounts of those people should be opened who are really interested in



trading. ICICI Securities Ltd. should conduct some kind of mock classes for new Investors who even don’t know about share market. Refrences:
