                                      SALES ANALYSIS

Customer Entry:
The opening of new stores coupled with attractive advertising enabled the Company to attract
higher number of customers in new as well as existing stores. Retailers measure entry as
footfalls, which is the number of people entering the stores. This is computed through manual
count in all stores during trading hours.




Conversion Ratio:
Conversion is the ratio of the number of transactions (Cash Memo) versus the total customer
entry into the stores. Tracking conversion helps the retailer understand the productivity of his
front-end store employees and the attractiveness of the Merchandise and services. Consequent to
recent stores being part of malls, the customer entry has increased but the conversion ratio has
dropped. However in absolute numbers customers converted have shown growth in 2 years.

Sales:
Gross Sales both at chain level and for Like-to-Like stores showed an improvement as compared
to last year. The growth was 34% in gross retail turnover. The sales per sq.ft. have been

58.9% in 2006-07. There has been growth in Non-Apparel segment which has resulted in Non-
Apparel sales percentage growing. This is primarily due to customer buying life style products.

Electronics, Books and Music. These lifestyle products have high aspiration value, and as the
consuming class increases, there will be a big surge in the demand for this category. The Non-

own private labels as well as through exclusive private brands. The contribution of private label
has decreased to 20.1% of sales from 20.6% last year and private label sales have increased by
28%. The exclusive licensing arrangement with Austin Reed UK to retail men‟s & women‟s
wear has posted a healthy growth. As a part of its strategy to provide a wide range of
merchandise to customers, the Company aims to fill in the gaps in the national brand offering
through its private labels & exclusive arrangements with private & international brands.

ASP helps the retailer to align the offering as per the customer segment as well as improve the
productivity of the floor space.

by the total sales divided by the number of cash memos.

Merchandise Purchase:
The company‟s ability to present on the shelves correct merchandise assortments in the right
mix, style, colour & fashion is one of its most critical success factors. A team of Buyers &
Merchandisers continuously ensure that the pricing strategy and value proposition are completely
in tune with the customers‟ expectations. They regularly monitor sales trends to optimize
inventory levels. Our well established systems and processes in Buying & Merchandising &
Logistics enables the company to efficiently manage the flow of inventory to stores, provide
prompt replenishments and manage pricing. The company believes in a broad distribution of risk
with no high dependency on any single supplier and has a diversified supplier base. Suppliers are
selected after evaluation based on fairly stringent parameters which ensure the quality &
reliability of supply. Alternate distribution channels for inventory have also been put in place as
a contingency, should the need arise.

Supplier Risks:
Shoppers Stop broadly varied offering necessitates alliances with a large number of suppliers
from various business sectors. In order to mitigate the risk involved, Shoppers Stop enters into
arrangements with vendors in various business formats such as Outrights Buy/Sale or return,
Consignment & Concessionaire/Conducting arrangement.

Shrinkage:
Shrinkage in the retail business is defined as the loss in inventory through a combination of shop
lifting, pilferage, and errors in documentation transaction processing that go unnoticed. They
have focus on inventory control and have set up a separate department called profit
enhancement, which not only monitors Shrinkage on a regular basis but also looks at various
factors that could lead to Shrinkage at stores and distribution centers. The Profit enhancement
department, Store Operations along with the Supply Chain team have worked together and
monitored the Shrinkage level on a month on month basis which has resulted in the Shrinkage
percentage being controlled at 0.47% of the Turnover and the company‟s endeavour will always
be to lower this ratio through proper monitoring and continuously reviewing Inventory
management processes and systems.

  • 11. FASHION RETAIL MANAGEMENT 4 SALES ANALYSIS Customer Entry: The opening of new stores coupled with attractive advertising enabled the Company to attract higher number of customers in new as well as existing stores. Retailers measure entry as footfalls, which is the number of people entering the stores. This is computed through manual count in all stores during trading hours. Conversion Ratio: Conversion is the ratio of the number of transactions (Cash Memo) versus the total customer entry into the stores. Tracking conversion helps the retailer understand the productivity of his front-end store employees and the attractiveness of the Merchandise and services. Consequent to recent stores being part of malls, the customer entry has increased but the conversion ratio has dropped. However in absolute numbers customers converted have shown growth in 2 years. 2008 P a g e | 11

There has been growth in Non-Apparel segment which has resulted in Non- Apparel sales percentage growing. This is primarily due to customer buying life style products. Non-Apparel: This category includes Cosmetics, Personal Accessories, Jewellery, Leather goods, Home Wares, Electronics, Books and Music. These lifestyle products have high aspiration value, and as the consuming class increases, there will be a big surge in the demand for this category.
