One marketing research technique is taking consumer's views about a product and then plotting
these perceptions on a positioning chart. Performance, packaging, price and size. These qualitative
answers are transferred to a chart referred to a position or perception map. The results can be used
to improve the product or provide the background for developing new ones.
This position map defines the market in terms of the way buyers perceive key characteristics of
competing products. The basic position map normally uses price and quality as the two key
variables, but other variables are used, such as low or high quality of mapping Superfine Service

Abstract:
Service quality or customer perception about service quality in customized stitching and tailored fit clothing for both men, women and kids wear is a critical factor which determines the competitiveness of a firm.
Quality is a mental perception of customers based on various performances attributes of a service. In services marketing literature, service quality has been concisely defined as the overall assessment of a service by the
customers. Service quality is playing an increasingly important role in the present environment where there is no further scope for the firms to differentiate themselves other than the quality of the service provided by
them. Delivering superior service quality than the competitors is the key to the success of any organization. Service quality is a difference between consumer expectations of what they want and their perceptions of
what they get. Based on this conceptualization and operationalization, a service quality measurement scale called SERVQUAL was developed. The aim of this research questionnaire depicts the measuring the quality of
services offered by the service provider (SUPERFINE TAILORS) is the measurement of the customers perceptions of the quality of service they are experiencing from the service provider.

services.
(5) Gap5: The expected and perceived service gap. Differences exist between the customers’
expectations and their perception of the actual service delivered.
This self-report questionnaire contains twenty items covering five dimensions (reliability, assurance,
tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness). The items are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale. The
SERVQUAL is used to diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of service quality, and it is widely
regarded as the most comprehensive instrument for this assessment. Target respondents:
The target respondents are customers of Superfine Tailors
However, apart from its wide use, several theoretical and operational criticisms of the measurement

The Independent Samples t Test compares the means of two independent groups in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different.
The Independent Samples t Test is a parametric test.
It is observed from the table there is a overall gap score of -9.57 for EMPATHY factors which is negative for customers but more positive for superfine Tailors
Two sections (boxes) appear in the output: Group Statistics and Independent Samples Test. The first section, Group Statistics, provides basic information about the group comparisons, including the sample size (n),
mean, standard deviation, and standard error for factors of tangibles by group. In this, there are 38 male and 13 Female. The mean for males are 14.63, and the mean females are17.77=
ANNOVA:
P= 0.162
P > 0.05 is the probability that the null hypothesis is true. 1 minus the P value is the probability that the alternative hypothesis is true. A statistically significant test result (P ≤ 0.05) means that the test hypothesis is
false or should be rejected. A P value greater than 0.05 means that no effect was observed.
