Read the following case study and answer the questions.

Sonali, on completing her class XII, planned to start 'pickle making' business with the help of her mother and elder sister. Firstly, she went to the market to analyse the consumer trends, tastes and competitor's products. After the analysis, she started her work on a small scale. She finalised that her pickles would be known by the name of "Chatpata". Her mother suggested that the pickles should be packed in air tight glass jar to ensure freshness as well as purity. Also, these glass jars should be sealed and a hologram should be put on the tag.

"Also these glass jars should be sealed and a hologram should be put on the tag." Which concept is being indicated from the above statement?

Options:

Pricing

Customer support services

Labelling

Promotion

Correct Answer:

Labelling

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Labelling

The concept being indicated in this statement "Also, these glass jars should be sealed and a hologram should be put on the tag" is Labelling.  The act of sealing the glass jars and applying a hologram on the tag is related to labeling, which is a crucial aspect of product packaging and promotion.

A simple looking but important task in the marketing of goods relates to designing the label to be put on the package. The label may vary from a simple tag attached to the product (such as in case of local unbranded products like sugar, wheat, pulses, etc.) indicating some information about the quality or price, to complex graphics that are part of the package, like the ones on branded products. Labels are useful in providing detailed information about the product, its contents, method of use, etc. It is an important function of labeling to provide information required by law. For example, packaged food articles must have list of ingredients declaration regarding vegetarian or non-vegetarian food additives and date of manufacturing or packing on the label. Such information is required on processed foods, drugs and tobacco products. In case of hazardous or poisonous material, appropriate safety-warning need to be put on the label.
