One of the main reason is that it is pioneer in the market, the variety and taste of the pizzas offered are very good and option of dine in and home delivery was also provided. There were 12 outlets in the state and each offering similar services and quality of product. With passage of time new competitiors start to emerge in the market and also the customer base was increasing due to surge in population. Delta Pizza found that there was decline in sales, even when market size is increasing. Mr Raj, the founder of Delta Pizza was not very much happy with the trend and called a meeting of his senior managers of the company. Mr Jayant ( Sales Director), Mr Ansh (Operation Manager)  & Ms Tanya (Marketing Manager) were called and asked to find out the reason for the negative trend and find out a solution for it. Mr Jayant told Mr Raj that there are now 5 different companies offering pizzas and their pricing and quality is alomost similar to what Delta is offering. Mr Ansh stated that the pizza made by Delta follows a standardised process and revise the recipes on regular basis as per market requirement. Delta is offering the best quality of product at reasonablly good price. Ansh suggested marketing team to market the Delta differently.

3. All these companies are marketing themselves on various social media platforms and also conduct activities to attract customers and also collect customer feedback through these networking sites.
