3. So what is a
DEPARTMENTAL
STORE ?
A department store is a large store, divided into
departments which sell such products as
furnishings, electronics, clothing, footwear, toys,
cosmetics, and sometimes also groceries. ...
A department store has several departments
housed under the same roof to facilitate buying,
customer service, and merchandising.

4. SO WHAT IS THE
PURPOSE OF THE
DEPARTMENTAL STORE ?
The basic objective of a departmental store is to
provide a large variety of merchandise 'from a pin to an
airplane' in one place. It also aims at providing quality
goods and services to the customers and acts as a
universal supplier.
But sometimes, the purpose of a store actually
is to buy something and take it home right away.
It might be because one has a need that's even
sooner than ever-faster online shipping can
accommodate (something from a home
improvement store.

(i) Shopping convenience:
A departmental store enables the customers to purchase
all their requirement under one roof and the customers
need not go from one shop to another for making
purchases. This provides great convenience to the
customers and also saves their time and labour.
(ii) Wide Choice:
The departmental store keeps a large variety of products
and hence offers an opportunity to the customers to select
goods of their liking from a large stock of goods of
different qualities, brands, designs, colours, styles, etc.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
Departmental stores, being large-scale establishments, enjoy all the
economies and benefits of large-scale organisations. This reduces
their costs and increases the profits.

They provide many unique services to their customers like free
home delivery, accepting telephone orders, restaurants, recreational
facilities, reading rooms, after-sale service, etc. Some of the stores
even offer credit facilities to their customers.

ADVANTAGES
(vi) Economy and Advertising:
The advertisement of one department is the advertisement of the other
departments also. A customer who enters a departmental store to
purchase some goods is induced to buy some other goods also
displayed in the store. Hence, one department advertises for the other.
Moreover, a departmental store pan advertises on a large scale thus
saving in advertising costs.
(vii) Use of Specialised Services:
The departmental stores can afford to employ specialists with expert
knowledge to perform various functions. This saves in many costs,
attracts customers and increases the sales and profits.
(viii) Large Volume of Sales:
Due to the various facilities provided by the departmental stores, they
make larger sales. Large turnover further reduces the selling cost per
unit on one hand and increases the profit on the other.

SO WHAT ARE
THE
REQUIREMENT
OF
DEPARTMENTAL
STORE ?
LOCATION: As it always plays a crucial role in any business.
Of course, getting the required licenses and permits is the first step. But, the
BIGGER question that you would need to answer before step 1 is “where is
it” that you want to setup your departmental store.
i.e. you must know where your customers are because this is what makes or breaks
your business.
9. 9
REQUIREMENTS
a. Finding a Location:
Although a great location may not guarantee success, a bad location will almost
always guarantee failure. Deciding where to put your business is as important as the
type of business you choose to do.
A location with a reasonable degree of security, access to public transport for
your customers, adequate parking is suggested.
Also look out for the competitors in the area. Lesser the competition, easier is the
sales.
The best location combines visibility, affordability and lease terms you can live with.
In particular, a departmental store is more successful in newly developed areas.
The rent for a place can be as small as Rs 10,000 to Rs 10 lac depending upon the
city, location and size of the departmental store. The rent of a store shouldn’t be more
than 4% of sales on the safer side.
10. TYPE OF BUILDING OUTLOOK AT
THAT LOCATION
ONE OF THE MAIN FACTOR IS SURE THAT THE OUT LOOK OF THE
STORE BUILDING ATTRACT THE CUSTOMERS WHICH IS THE
ULTIMATE SOURCE TO GAIN IT’S PRODUCTIVITY !
