INDUSTRY PROFILE
“Retailing includes all the activities involved in selling
goods or services to the final consumers for personal,
non-business use”.
The organized retail sector in India has a very low
contribution to the entire retail sector in the country.
Hence there is ample scope for the new players to
achieve success. Large young working population with
average age of 24 years, nuclear families in urban areas,
along with increasing working women population and
emerging opportunities in the services sector are going
to be the key growth drivers An organization selling
directly to final consumer-whether a manufacturer,
wholesaler or retailer is doing retailing. It does not
matter how the goods or services are sold (by person,
mail, telephone, vending machine or internet) or where
they are sold (in store, on the street, or in consumer’s
home).
Retail is India’s largest industry, accounting for 10% of
country’s GDP and around 8 percent of employment.
Modern retail has entered India as seen in shopping
centers, multi storied malls and huge complexes offer
shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof.
India has seen the concept of hypermarket coming of
age. Players like Wall-mart, metro have established
hypermarkets in many countries. In India hypermarket
concept is in nascent stage, retailers like Pantaloons,
Tata, and RPG have started hypermarket operations and
they are having plans to expand aggressively to all the
regions of India.
Among all the global retail markets Indian retail market
is the most expanding. This is owing to the absence in
restriction at the entry level. So, large foreign companies
can enter in the green retail fields of India.

NEW DISCOVERIES IN RETAIL
In the financial year 2006-07, the company’s retail businesses discovered new categories acrossformats, new sets of consumers and fresher and contemporary merchandise. We have been ableto offer more in the established businesses and gain favourable acceptance with new concepts. Inaddition, concerted expansion
plans saw retail space increase to over 5.2 million square feet atthe end of 2006-07. This expansion mode was characterized by a twopronged approach. By dominating the cities the company was already present in and by bringing the benefits of modern retail to towns and cities like Mangalore, Palakkad, Surat, Indore, Kanpur, Haldia, Agra,Coimbatore, Jaipur and Panipat. The company has also undertaken significant privatelabel initiatives in food, in general merchandise and in the consumer durables and electronic scategories. Strategic alliances have also been forged with established domestic and internationalBrands. However, the most significant development was the internal realignment the company undertook within each of its retail businesses. To embark on a more detailed approach towards value creation and increasing efficiency, the company reviewed its business operations andAdopted a more focused approach by creating an integrated support unit or Line of Business.Augmenting the retail front-end team, Line of Business (LoB) units have been created in the three most critical businesses – food, fashion and general merchandise. Formed during the second half of 2006-07 these business units focus on introducing optimumoperationalefficiencies. Thus, these units ensure that back - end measures are appropriately taken care ofand the right kind of merchandise reaches the stores in the best possible time, at the right price.These teams focus on product consolidation and suitability, margin improvement, and vendor rationalization, thereby ensuring that the sourcing benefits are made available to the front – end team. The
company’s efforts over the next couple of years would entail a combination of Expansion and process up gradation and implementation.The emphasis will be on the next discoveries to be made in the retail space that will lead to expansion. At the same time, there will be an increased focus on micro detailing aspects including process, product and operational efficiencies thereby contributing positively to the company’s bottom-line.discovering fresh fashion
It was the first Pantaloons store in Kolkata that set off a chain of discoveries that have led us to where we are today. Ten years later,
wehavelaunchedourlargestPantaloons store in Kankurgachi in Kolkata. Spread across 85,000 square feet, the store is the first among a series ofLarge format stores that will be launched across the nation. After consolidating its Fresh Fashion Positioning, Pantaloons embarked on a major expansion during the year 2006-07. In 8 cities, 11 Pantaloons stores were opened with 7 of them opening in the single month of March 2007. Thetotal count of Pantaloons stores as on 30th June 2007stood at 31 with the total area under retail close to 1 million square feet. In order to maintain the top of the mind association with fashion in India, Pantaloons continued to be the title sponsor for the Femina Miss India 2007 pageant. Inaddition, Bipasha Basu and Zayed Khan were roped in as brand ambassadors in the month of August 2006. The success of this initiative was evident in the increased sales for the ‘HaldiGulal’ range as well as the ‘Svayam Utsav’ summer collection that were endorsed by Bipashaand Zayed. The private label apparel share during the year was in excess of 70 percent. The yearalso witnessed categories like Winter-wear and Ethnic Ladies-wear strengthening their presence in the stores. The increasing success of the store brand is evident from the fact that the store loyalty programme, Green Card, added 200,000 new members.Pantaloons will see a significant expansion during the coming year with an increase of nearly0.50 million square feet of retail space and an addition of about 15 stores. Pantaloons will look at dominating cities where it has a first entrant advantage and will scale up sizeably with larger stores, additional categories and retail formats. The year 2007-08 will witness considerable
focus in the North and East regions. Delhi and the NCR area along with Punjab, Chandigarh and Ludhiana will see the next stage of expansion. Cities like Ranchi, Guwahati and Siliguri in the East will also discover Fresh Fashion.
In 2010-2011, more Indians discovered the value of shopping in Big Bazaar. And with the launch of each store, we discovered more value in terms of operational efficiency. Big Bazaar launched 27 new stores in 22 cities, covering over 1.40 million square feet. As of June 2010, there were planning to have 300 Big Bazaar stores across 100 cities. While Big Bazaar continued to expand in the large cities, it also tapped consumption potential in smaller cities like Agra, Allahabad, Coimbatore, and Surat, Panipat, Palakkad, Kanpur and olhapur.The year under review also witnessed realigning of business teams with shared experience in category management, sourcing, front-end operations and
business planning. In addition, separate teams have been formed to look into all aspects of new store launches and to manage mature stores. This provides more flexibility and focus in expansion plans.The increase in SKUs in existing categories and the introduction of new categories encouraged the opening of larger stores or Super Centres, measuring 100,000 square feet or more. There are now 5 Big Bazaar Super Centres. Considering this scale of expansion, technology plays a significant facilitating role. The introduction of SAP in 2005-06 and its roll out during the year positively impacted the business. Big Bazaar has initiated the process of Auto Replenishments Systems, thus improvingOperational efficiencies and productivity. The company has also rationalized nearly 250 vendors through better vendor management in terms of potential to expand, and for inclusion and upgradation to the online B2B platform. The company plans to open over 60 stores across India in FY 2010-11, and the opening of the 100th Big Bazaar store will mark the fastest ever expansion by a hypermarket format.
FOOD BAZAAR
Based on the company’s in-house consumer data and research, and in cognizance with observations on customer movements and the shopping convenience factor, Food Bazaar has initiated certain refurbishments and layout design across all stores. The intention is to continuously change with the times and demands of the evolving Indian consumer.Food Bazaar also witnessed healthy expansion during the year 2010-11, making its presence felt in nearly 26 cities and adding 40 stores during the year under review. The total count of FoodBazaars as on 30th June 2007 stood at 86 stores. The year under review witnessed the company’s private label programme gaining significant traction. The brands have been very competitive visà-
Vis the established brands in quality and price terms, and have in fact scored better than national or international players in certain categories.The share of private labels as a percentage of total Food Bazaar revenues has increased significantly and comprises nearly 50 merchandise categories.While Fresh & Pure brand entered categories like cheese slices, frozen peas, honey, packaged drinking water and packaged tea, the Tasty Treat brand received very favorable response in new categories like nankeens and wafers. In the home care category, Care mate launched aluminum foil and baby diapers while Clean mate launched detergent bars and scrubbers.A new format ‘BB Wholesale Club’ was launched and 4 such stores have been opened so far. To be managed by Food Bazaar from the ensuing financial year, this format sells only multipacksand bulk packs of a select range of fast moving categories and caters to price sensitive customers and smaller retailers.The company has also forged tie-ups with established companies like ITC, Adanis, DCM Group, USAID and other farm groups in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to source directly from them.These alliances are expected to drive efficiencies as well as bring better products to consumer’s .By the end of FY 07-08, the total number of Food Bazaar stores is expected to be 200.

Future Group plans
900 KB's Fair Price
Future Group is planning to open about 850 to 900 KB’s Fair Price shops.
The locations have yet not been finalized, but the retailer shall expand in
the same market clusters it has a presence in. In an exclusive interview with
India Retailing, Damodar Mall, group customer director at Future Group
stated, "We will expand KB’s Fair Price shops in select towns. First, it will
be a concentrated approach in the markets we are already present in —
Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore."
Denying recent media reports on closure of a number of KB’s Fair Price
stores, Mall stated, "The report was incorrect. KB’s Fair Price is a business
model where, we will keep churning old localities and getting into new
ones. If we have closed one store in a locality, we have opened another in
the same catchment."
"We have mapped 850 to 900 KB's Fair Price shops. The model is low-cost
and revenues from these stores have been the highest among all the
modern trade players in the neighborhood space. The model is viable and a
part of our expansion plans," Mall informed.
Further informing on Future Group's plans on its format — Big Bazaar —
Mall informed that the company is targeting a total number of 350 Big
Bazaar stores, although the timeline is not yet decided. At present there are
around 120 Big Bazaar stores in India, present across 67 cities of the
country.

will affect adversely the big players.
High taxes in India suppress consumption
Smaller specialty shops and informal shops are sometimes
able to avoid taxes, offering lower total prices to customers.
INTRODUCTION TO
MARKETINGTHE MARKET
The concept of market is very important in marketing. P.Kotler
defines a market as an area for potential exchanges. Thus a
market is a group of buyers and sellers interested in negotiating
the terms of purchase or sale of goods or services.
MARKETING:
Marketing consists of a set of principles for choosing target
markets, identifying consumer needs developing wants,
satisfying products and services and delivering value to
customers and profit to the company.
Thus marketing comprises an integrated system of business
activities in order to plan, price, promote, and distribute goods
and services to meet consumer needs within the limit of society.
Definition of marketing:
P.Kotler defines marketing as a set of human activities directed
at facilitating and consummating exchanges. The essence of
marketing is exchange of products and the transaction is to
satisfy human needs and wants.
Importance of marketing:
Marketing is recognized as the most significant activity in our
society. Our life styles are continuously affected by a wide range
of marketing activities. Marketing alone can put goods and
services we want and need at our doorsteps.
Marketing is a vital connecting link between producers and
consumers. Marketing is directly responsible to maintain the
equilibrium between mass production and mass consumption.
MARKETING STRATEGY
PROCESS FOLLOWED
Segmentation, targeting and positioning together comprise a three
stage process.
A. Determine which kinds of customers exist,
b. Select which ones we are best off trying to serve,
c. Implement our segmentation by optimizing our
products/services for that segment and communicating that we
have made the choice to distinguish ourselves that way.
1. SEGMENTATION:
Segmentation involves finding out what kinds of consumers with
different needs exist. In the auto market, for example, some
consumers demand speed and performance, while others are
much more concerned about roominess and safety. In general, it
holds true that “You can’t be all things to all people,” and
experience has demonstrated that firms that specialize in
meeting the needs of one group of consumers over another tend
to be more profitable.
Several different kinds of variables can be used for
segmentation:-
1. Demographic variables essentially refer to personal statistics
such as income, gender, education, location (rural vs. urban,
East vs. West), ethnicity, and family size. Campbell’s soup, for
instance, has found that Western U.S. consumers on the average
prefer spicier soups—thus, you get a different product in the
same cans at the East and West coasts.
2. Another basis for segmentation is behavior. Some consumers
are “brand loyal”—i.e. they tend to stick with their preferred
brands even when a competing one is on sale.
3. One can also segment on benefits sought, essentially
bypassing demographic explanatory variables. Some consumers,
for example, like scented soap (a segment likely to be attracted
to brands such as Irish Spring), while others prefer the “clean”
feeling of unscented soap (the “Ivory” segment). Some
consumers use toothpaste primarily to promote oral health, while
another segment is more interested in breathe freshening.
2. TARGETING:
In the next step, we decide to target one or more segments. Our
choice should generally depend on several factors:-
First:
How well are existing segments served by other manufacturers?
It will be more difficult to appeal to a segment that is already
well served than to one whose needs are not currently being
served well.
Secondly:
How large is the segment, and how can we expect it to grow?
Thirdly:
Do we have strengths as a company that will help us appeal
particularly to one group of consumers?
1. Big Bazaar targets higher & middle class customers.
2. Big Bazaar specifically targets working women and home
makers who are the primary decisions maker. It is part of Big
Bazaar’s new Guerrilla Marketing Strategy.
3. POSITIONING:
Positioning involves implementing our targeting. Big bazaar is
positioning to its targeting customer, middle class by giving
discount offers, working women by monthly saving bazaar and
home makers by providing a wide range of food, non-food, fruits
and vegetable.
MARKETING MIX
Main Aspects of Marketing Mix:
The easiest way to understand the main aspects of marketing is
through its more famous synonym of "4Ps of Marketing". The
classification of four Ps of marketing includes marketing
strategies of product, price, placement and promotion. The
following diagram is helpful in determining the main ingredients
of the four Ps in a marketing mix.
PRODUCT:
In simpler terms, product includes all features and combination
of goods and related services that a company offers to its
customers.
Product is the most important aspect of marketing mix for
manufacturers because products are the market expression of
the company's productive capabilities and determine its ability to
link with consumers. So product policy and strategy are of prime
importance to an enterprise, and product decisions dictate the
scope and direction of company activity. Moreover, the market
indicators such as profits, sales, image, market share, reputation
and stature are also dependent on them.
PRICING:
Pricing is basically setting a specific price for a product or
service offered. In a simplistic to the concept of price as the
amount of money that customers have to pay to obtain the
product. Setting a price is not something simple. Normally it has
been taken as a general law that a low price will attract more
customers. It is not a valid argument as customers do not
respond to price alone; they respond to value so a lower price
does not necessarily mean expanded sales if the product is not
fulfilling the expectation of the customers
Generally pricing strategy under marketing mix analysis is
divided into two parts: price determination and price
administration.
Price determination is referred to as the processes and activities
employed to arrive at a price for a product including
consideration of relative prices of products within the same line,
and differences in price for similar products of differing grades
and qualities.
Price administration is referred to as the activities involved in
fitting basic prices to particular sales situations such as
geographic locale, functions performed by customers, position of
distribution channel members or special sales situations.
PLACEMENT:
Placement under marketing mix involves all company activities
that make the product available to the targeted customer while
planning placement strategy under marketing mix analysis,
companies consider six different channel decisions including
choosing between direct access to customers or involving
middlemen, choosing single or multiple channels of distributions,
the length of the distribution channel, the types of
intermediaries, the numbers of distributors, and which
intermediary to use based on the quality and reputation .
PROMOTION:
Promotional strategies include all means through which a
company communicates the benefits and values of its products
and persuades targeted customers to buy them. The best way to
understand promotion is through the concept of the marketing
communication process. Promotion is the company strategy to
cater for the marketing communication process that requires
interaction between two or more people or groups,
encompassing senders, messages, media and receivers
Limitation of Marketing Mix Analysis (4Ps of Marketing)
Despite the fact that marketing mix analysis is used as a
synonym for the 4Ps of Marketing, it is criticized on the point
that it caters seller's view of market analysis not customers view.
To tackle this criticism, attempted to match 4 Ps of marketing
with 4 Cs of marketing to address consumer views:
Product : Customer Solution
Price ; Customer Cost
Placement : Convenience
Promotion : Communication
RETAILING:
“Retailing includes all the activities involved in selling goods or
services to the final consumers for personal, non-business use”.
-Philip Kotler
RETAIL STORE: this is a place where all the things are
available under a one roof in an organized manner according to
consumer needs.
1. Merchandise assortment
The company was looking for a solution that would bring all of its
businesses and processes together. After a comprehensive
evaluation of different options and software companies, the
management at Pantaloon decided to go in for SAP.
Some of the qualities of SAP retail solutions are that it supports
product development, which includes ideation, trend analysis,
and collaboration with partners in the supply chain; sourcing and
procurement, which involves working with manufacturers to
fulfill orders according to strategic merchandising plans and
optimize cost, quality, and speed–variables that must be
weighted differently as business needs, buying plans, and market
demand patterns change; managing the supply chain, which
involves handling the logistics of moving finished goods from the
source into stores and overseeing global trade and procurement
requirements; selling goods across a variety of channels to
customers, which requires marketing and brand management;
managing mark-downs and capturing customer reactions,
analyzing data, and using it to optimize the next phase of the
design process.
2. Visual merchandising
Visual merchandising supports:-
A. sales
B. retail strategies
C. communicates with customers
D. communicates image
E. supports retailing trends.
Visual merchandising includes:-
A. Interior merchandising
It includes danglers, signage, standees, distribution of
pamphlets, which gives details about the offers.
Display, point of purchase, fixture, equipment and furnishing of
store layout
Products packaging and label
B. Exterior merchandising
Advertisement on popular entertainment channels like Star Plus,
Sony, Set Max, and Star One.
Road shows carried out by the Big Bazaar staff with

India, on different days during the period of the offer.
RETAIL PROMOTION MIX
ADVERTISING:
Advertising is recognized as an indispensable tool of promotion.
It has acquired a lot of significance in the national and
international markets. With the advent of globalization and
liberalization its imperativeness in the Indian retail sector has
increased as a result of competition, latest technologies, and the

customers, reduced price offers on products, giving coupons
which can be redeemed later etc.

Bangalore.
DATA:
The term data refers to groups of information that represent the qualitative
or quantitative attributes of a variable or set of variables. Data are typically
the results of measurements and can be the basis of graphs, images, or
observations of a set of variables. Data are often viewed as the lowest level
of abstraction from which information and knowledge are derived. Raw data

respondents.
SURVEY METHOD: Data are usually collected through the use of
questionnaires. The data is collected by mean of simple survey done in the
retail store of the customers.

powerful tool. Looking at how consumers select products may yield insights
into how they make decisions and what they look for. Observing
consumers, tells about:-
What is he looking in the product?
Is he brand loyal?
Is he more or less price sensitive?
Is he more interested in packaging, manufacturing, etc.

whole process which is carried out in a number of steps.
Therefore throughout the whole process of research there are a
number of difficulties encountered by researcher, at every step.
In the present study we may assume following limitation.
Data don’t represent entire population behavior.
It is very difficult to measure perception by means of
mathematical calculation.
This research was done in Bangalore city only hence this

It was assumed that respondent have the knowledge about
big bazaar but if he do not have proper knowledge then
result may come wrong.
The respondent view point on the study/questionnaire
purely judgment and may be induced by other reasons also.

CONCLUSION
AND
RECOMMENDATIO
NS
Conclusions followed by recommendations form the basis of the report more solid. The
conclusion proves the analysis that is carried out in the report and on the basis of these
conclusions, recommendations are given.
During the course of the study it was found that big bazaar is lacking popularity due to the less
concentration on the management of customer data base.
In the survey and analysis it was found that the Buying Behavior of the customers depends on
variety of factors like Need, Cost, Quality, Durability, Product range and some other factors.
Advertisements
The organization should also concentrate upon the Advertisement strategies and should
come up with the innovative ads.
Name recall amongst the Consumer Categories is low because of less frequency of the
TV advertisements.
The organization should have customer data base so that information about offers can be
conveyed to the customer and customer segregation can also be done.
The Retailing industry is booming. In order to tap the potential market, the Company can
advertise in a magazine named like ‘Daily news record’. This will help in showcasing the
products of the magazine. This can add an extra spice to sales
In store display and the use of the colours full display of the product should be increase
Banshankari Big bazar have a very good plus point regarding the place that the store
contains compare to the other stores in the city the effective use of the store should be
done effectively ,by using some portion of the place for fun activity and regarding the fun
and game it will also help to promote the own brand .
Example the game should me in the name of tasty treat or clean mate or care mate it helps
the customer to know the product.
Using of clown of the name of the product this will help in the awareness of the customer
in the product this will help to increase the awareness regarding the product
Giving free samples in the place of fun and game
PLACE
The place of the banshankari big bazar consists of 50,000 square feet will is quite good compare the other stores of big bazaar in the town the place management of the store and there display has to be done systematically that is the entrance the crowded place should be effectively manage .
The display of the own brand must be in proper place to be get notice by the customers .In place of the entrance in crowded place to get the proper view by the customers
The back side of the bill should be used for the purpose of the promotion of the own brand promotion
The plastic carry bag of the big bazar should also be used for the promotional activity of the home product
Effective use of the csd for announcement of the name of the product to get notice by the customers
Separate card in the name of (MAGIC CARD) for the purchase of own brand product only
PRODUCT Though the products of the big bazaar is relatively good compare to
the leading product players in the market people are not will to take it because of their poor packaging and poor display in the store and also the awareness by the customer
PRISE Company should focus on their Price. It should know the competitors
price and according to that there should be a proper action to decide
the price and discount offers.
Though the prize of the product is relatively less compare to the other brand but people are not willing to buy because of the lack of knowledge by the customer
CUSTOMER SERVICES
On the weekends mostly, there is long queue for the billing which
takes a huge time so there should be an increment in the number of
cash counters.
From the analysis it is clear that more than 50% customers live
within 5km area, so if it possible big bazaar should increase its home
delivery distance.
On the business days again it is seen that there is a queue in front of
lift so there is a need to solve the problem by using escalator or big
size lifts because due to this customer do not want to go on the above
floor and these floor are having high value product.
