A brief analysis was done on Mayfair company profile, company‟s trends and consumers behavior towards their product by using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Which showed that in comparison to industry practices, Mayfair‟s practices are not aligned with industry which is the main reason for the decline in their market share.
