INTRODUCTION
4his study essentially is about how a brand e*uity and media efficiency
trying to establish for itself a new identity and image# It studied further
as to what obstacles and shortcomings it faces as it tries to create for
itself a more modern image# 4his study further ascertains the ad!ertising
and mareting mechanisms that Saint-5obain has adopted to date and
then with the help of e0ternal customers# 4his study also aims at finding
the gaps between the perception of the management and the customers#
6ith the help of the abo!e, in consultation and continuous interaction
with the Saint-5obain management, we ha!e attempted to pro!ide
suggestions as regard both ad!ertising techni*ues and practices as well as
what ind of an ad!ertising campaign the company may undertae#
7inally, we ha!e taen a close loo at the customer retention and loyalty
programs of the company and ha!e suggested for the impro!ements of
the same#

ABOUT T/E SUBJECT
&d!ertising is the promotion of goods, ser!ices, companies and ideas, usually
by an identified sponsor# Mareter see ad!ertising as part of an o!erall
promotional strategy# 9ther components of the promotional mi0 include
publicity, public relations, personal selling and sales promotion#
&d!ertising is a management function# 6hile ad!ertising is the e!ent,
ad!ertising management is the whole process a function of mareting starting
from maret research continuing through ad!ertising leading to actual sales or
achie!ement of objecti!e# But ad!ertising management does not stop here# It
goes further in regard to e!aluation of the whole cost benefits that were
in!ol!ed in the whole e0ercise#
4his means that if there is a public ser!ice ad!ertising with an objecti!e to
increase domestic sa!ing, the e!aluation would tae place in terms of the actual
increase in domestic sa!ings as can be found from bans and other financial
institutions# If its about a launch of a new product, then the e!aluation would
be in terms of benefits deri!ed from the cost sun in the ad!ertising campaign#
&d!ertising management incorporates !arious speciali:ed sub-functions lie
media strategy, message strategy, media planning, media buying etc#6hilead!ertising management is an inseparable part of the mareting department,
usually, and the mareting department of an organi:ation is concerned more
with maret research and e!aluation of results#
)!ery element of an ad!ertising campaign is different# & companys ad!ertising
campaign may be carried out with the help of the following;

5lass can be made transparent and flat, or into other shapes andcolors as shown in this sphere from the >errerie of Brehat in
Brittany#
G%$ss is a uniform material of arguable phase ?where the word
@phase@ is used to describe either a gas, li*uid, or solidA, usually
produced when the !iscous molten material cools !ery rapidly to
below its glass transition temperature, without sufficient time for a
regular crystal lattice to form# 4he most familiar form of glass is the
silica-based material used for household objects such as light bulbs
and windows# 5lass is a biologically inacti!e material that can beformed into smooth and imper!ious surfaces# nder tension, glass is
brittle and will brea into sharp shards# nder compression, pure
glass can withstand a great amount of force# 4he properties of glass
can be modified or changed with the addition of other compounds or
heat treatment#

4he major raw material of glass is sand ?or @*uart: sand@A that
contains almost $ F of crystalline silica in the form of *uart:#
<hough it is almost pure *uart:, it may still contain a small amount
?less than $ FA of iron o0ides that would color the glass, so this sand is
usually depleted before production to reduce the iron o0ide amount to
less than #< F# .arge natural single crystals of *uart: are pure
silicon dio0ide, and upon crushing are used for high *uality specialty
glasses# Synthetic amorphous silica, an almost $ F pure form of *uart:, is the raw material for the most e0pensi!e specialty

HISTORY OF THE GLASS
Phoenicia and Egypt:
& piece of 9bsidian
%aturally occurring glass, such as obsidian, has been used since the
stone age# &ccording to Pliny the )lder, the Phoenicians made the
first glass;
4he tradition is that a merchant ship laden with nitrum ?soda and
potashA being moored at this place, the merchants were preparing
their meal on the beach, and not ha!ing stones to prop up their pots,
they used lumps of nitrum from the ship, which fused and mi0ed
with the sands of the shore, and there flowed streams of a new
translucent li*uid, and thus was the origin of glass#
4hat the Phoenicians used glass as a gla:e for pottery was nown as
early as 3 B'# 1owe!er, there is archaeological e!idence to
support the claim that the first glass was made in Mesopotamia#
5lass beads, seals, and architectural decorations date from around

Roman 5lass
4he Roman )mpire de!eloped many new techni*ues for the creation
of glass# 4hrough con*uest and trade, the use of glass objects and the
techni*ues used for producing them were spread as far as
Scandina!ia, the British Isles and 'hina# 4his spreading of
technology resulted in glass artists congregating in areas such as
&le0andria in )gypt where the famous Portland >ase was created,
the Rhine >alley where Bohemian glass was de!eloped and to
By:antium where glass designs became !ery ornate and where
processes such as enamelling, staining and gilding were de!eloped#
&t this time many glass objects, such as seals, windows, pipes, and
!ases were manufactured# 6indow glass was commonly used during
the $st century B'# )0amples found in Jaranis, )gypt were
translucent and !ery thic# &fter the fall of the )mpire, the )mperor

5lass objects from the Cth and Gth centuries ha!e been found on the
island of 4orcello near >enice# 4hese form an important lin between
Roman times and the later importance of that city in the production
of the material# &round $ &D, an important technical
breathrough was made in %orthern )urope when soda glass,
produced from white pebbles and burnt !egetation was replaced by
glass made from a much more readily a!ailable material; potash
obtained from wood ashes# 7rom this point on, northern glass
differed significantly from that made in the Mediterranean area,where soda remained in common use#
4he $$th century saw the emergence in 5ermany of new ways of
maing sheet glass by blowing spheres# 4he spheres were swung out
to form cylinders and then cut while still hot, after which the sheets
were flattened# 4his techni*ue was perfected in $3th century >enice#
4he $$th century also saw the emergence of glass mirrors in Islamic
Spain# ntil the $/th century, stained glass, glass with metallic and
other impurities for coloring, was not widely used#
4he 'rown glass process was used up to the mid-$Gs# In this
process, the glassblower would spin appro0imately pounds ?8 gA
of molten glass at the end of a rod until it flattened into a dis
appro0imately < feet ?$#< mA in diameter# 4he dis would then be cut
into panes# >enetian glass was highly pri:ed between the $th and

material# 4he in!ention of the glass pressing machine in $G/C
allowed the mass production of ine0pensi!e glass products#
4he cylinder method of creating flat glass was first used in the
nited States of &merica in the $G/s# It was used to commercially
produce windows# 4his and other types of hand-blown sheet glass
was replaced in the /th century by rolled plate glass#
Glass in buildings
5lass has been used in buildings since the $$th century# ses for
glass in buildings include as a transparent material for windows, as
internal gla:ed partitions and as architectural features#
It is also possible to use glass as a structural material, for e0ample in
beams and columns as well as in the form of @fins@ for wind
reinforcement, which are !isible in many glass frontages lie large
shop windows# Safe load capacity is howe!er limited as although
glass has a high theoretical yield stress, it is !ery susceptible to
brittle ?suddenA failure, and has a tendency to shatter due to locali:ed
impact# 4his particularly limits its use in columns as there is a ris of
!ehicles or other hea!y objects colliding with and shattering the
structural element# 9ne well nown e0ample of a structure madeentirely from glass is the northern entrance to Buchanan Street
subway station in 5lasgow#
5lass in buildings can be of a safety type, including wired,
toughened and laminated glasses# 5lass fibre insulation is common
in roofs and walls# 7oamed glass, made from waste glass, can be
used as lightweight, closed-cell insulation#
&s insulation, glass ?e#g# fiberglassA is also used# 'oming in long,
fluffy-looing sheet, it is commonly found in homes# fiberglass
insulation is used particularly in attics - this is gi!en an R-rating,
denoting the insulating ability#

Calculation of glass properties
5lass properties can be calculated through statistical analysis of
glass databases such as Sci5lass and Interglad# If the desired glass
property is not related to crystalli:ation ?e#g#, li*uidus temperatureA
or phase separation linear regression can be applied using common
polynomial functions up to the third degree# Below is an e0amplee*uation of the second degree# 4he C -!alues are the glass component
concentrations lie %a/9 or 'a9 in percent or other fractions, the b-
!alues are coefficients, and n is the total number of glass
components# 4he glass main component silica ?Si9/A is e0cluded in
the e*uation below because of o!er-parametri:ation due to the
constraint that all components sum up to $F# Many terms in the
e*uation below can be neglected based on correlation and
significance analysis#
4he li*uidus temperature has been modeled using neural networs
regression in the following article; '# Dreyfus, 5# Dreyfus; @&
machine learning approach to the estimation of the li*uidus
temperature of glass-forming o0ide blends@H
It is often re*uired to optimi:e se!eral glass properties
simultaneously, including production costs# 4his can be performed ina spreadsheet as follows;
$# .isting of the desired propertiesH
/# )ntering of models for the reliable calculation of properties
based on the glass composition, including a formula for
estimating the production costsH
3# 'alculation of the s*uares of the differences ?errorsA between
desired and calculated propertiesH
8# Reduction of the sum of s*uare errors using the Sol!er option
in Microsoft )0cel with the glass components as !ariables#
It is possible to weight the desired properties differently# Basic
information about the principle can be found in the article

towards the brand#
4herefore, we could inter from the abo!e that brand Saint- 5obain
enjoys customer loyalty to the highest le!els# 4his means Saint-
5obain as a single brand is !ery strong in the !iews of its customers
which would help saint-5obain in building its brand !ery strong#
Brand &wareness;
4he brand Saint-5obain was successful at building awareness#
&ccording to the sur!ey conducted on the customers by our group,
all of them were aware of the brand Saint-5obain# &nd the
customers to whom Saint-5obain was referred and recommended
also new about brand Saint-5obain# 4hey had positi!e approach
towards the brand Saint-5obain# 4he brand recall was also !ery
strong among the customers of saint# Saint-5obain is able to
maintain the brand recall appro0imately the same as its competitors
most of which had
been supported by the ad!ertising acti!ities that has been undertaen
by them#
Brand communication is a long-term e0ercise that has to be carried
out with a great degree of regularity and consistency# 6ith the
efforts that Saint-5obain has put behind the brand in the last two to
three years, they ha!e deri!ed good mileage# Brand research showsthat Saint-5obain now has an unaided brand recall with $"< th of our
targeted audience and is now in the consideration set of most
