RETAIL INDUSTRY IN INDIA
India has one of the largest numbers of retail outlets in the world. Of the 12 million retail
outlets
present in the country, nearly 5 million sell food and related products. Thought the
market has been
dominated by unorganized players, the entry of domestic and international organised
players is set to
change the scenario.
Organized retail segment has been growing at a blistering pace, exceeding all previous
estimates.
According to a study by Deloitte Haskins and Sells, organised retail has increased its
share from 5 per
cent of total retail sales in 2006 to 8 per cent in 2007. The fastest growing segments have
been the
wholesale cash and carry stores (150 per cent) followed by supermarkets (100 per cent)
and
hypermarkets (75-80 per cent). Further, it estimates the organised segment to account for
25 per cent of
the total sales by 2011.
India retail industry is the largest industry in India, with an employment of around 8%
and contributing
to over 10% of the country's GDP. Retail industry in India is expected to rise 25% yearly
being driven
by strong income growth, changing lifestyles, and favourable demographic patterns.
It is expected that by 2016 modern retail industry in India will be worth US$ 175- 200
billion. India
retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries with revenue expected in 2007 to
amount US$
320 billion and is increasing at a rate of 5% yearly. A further increase of 7-8% is
expected in the
industry of retail in India by growth in consumerism in urban areas, rising incomes, and a
steep rise in
rural consumption. It has further been predicted that the retailing industry in India will
amount to US$
21.5 billion by 2010 from the current size of US$ 7.5 billion.
Shopping in India has witnessed a revolution with the change in the consumer buying
behaviour and
the whole format of shopping also altering. Industry of retail in India which has become
modern can be
seen from the fact that there are multi- stored malls, huge shopping centres, and
sprawling complexes
6. which offer food, shopping, and entertainment all under the same roof.
India retail industry is expanding itself most aggressively; as a result a great demand for
real estate is
being created. Indian retailers preferred means of expansion is to expand to other regions
and to
8
increase the number of their outlets in a city.
India retail industry is progressing well and for this to continue retailers as well as the
Indian
government will have to make a combined effort. It is expected that India may have 600
new retail
outlet till 2010.
Retail space
Driven by changing lifestyles, strong income growth and favourable demographic
patterns, Indian
retail is expanding at a rapid pace. Mall space, from a meagre one million square feet in
2002, is
expected to touch 40 million square feet by end-2007 and an estimated 60 million square
feet by end-
2008, says Jones Lang LaSalle's third annual Retailer Sentiment Survey-Asia.
Alongside, Indian cities are witnessing a paradigm shift from traditional forms of
retailing into a
modern organized sector. A report by Images Retail estimates the number of operational
malls to more
than double to over 412 with 205 million square feet by 2010 and further 715 malls by
2015, on the
back of major retail developments even in tier II and tier III cities in India.
Challenges facing the Indian Organized Retail sector
The challenges facing the Indian organized retail sector are various and these are
stopping the Indian
retail industry from reaching its full potential. The behaviour pattern of the Indian
consumer has
undergone a major change. This has happened for the Indian consumer is earning more
now, western
influences, women working force is increasing, desire for luxury items and better quality.
He now
wants to eat, shop, and get entertained under the same roof. All these have lead the Indian
organized
retail sector to give more in order to satisfy the Indian customer.
The biggest challenge facing the Indian organized retail sector is the lack of retail space.
With real
estate prices escalating due to increase in demand from the Indian organized retail sector,
it is posing a
challenge to its growth. With Indian retailers having to shell out more for retail space it is
effecting
there overall profitability in retail.
7. 9
Trained manpower shortage is a challenge facing the organized retail sector in India. The
Indian
retailers have difficultly in finding trained person and also have to pay more in order to
retain them.
This again brings down the Indian retailers profit levels.
The Indian government have allowed 51% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the India
retail sector to
one brand shops only. This has made the entry of global retail giants to organized retail
sector in India
difficult. This is a challenge being faced by the Indian organized retail sector. But the
global retail
giants like Tesco, Wal-Mart, and Metro AG are entering the organized retail sector in
India indirectly
through franchisee agreement and cash and carry wholesale trading. Many Indian
companies are also
entering the Indian organized retail sector like Reliance Industries Limited, Pantaloons,
and Bharti
Telecoms. But they are facing stiff competition from these global retail giants. As a result
discounting
is becoming an accepted practice.

Different Formats of Future Group
Format -1

Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited, is India's leading retail company with
presence across
multiple lines of businesses. The company owns and manages multiple retail
formats
that cater to a wide cross-section of the Indian society and is able to capture
almost the
entire consumption basket of the Indian consumer. Headquartered in
Mumbai
(Bombay), the company operates through 5 million square feet of retail
space, has over
331 stores across 40 cities in India and employs over 17,000 people. The
company
registered a turnover of Rs. 2,019 crore for FY 2005-06.
Pantaloon Retail forayed into modern retail in 1997 with the launching of
fashion retail
chain, Pantaloons in Kolkata. In 2001, it launched Big Bazaar, a
hypermarket chain that
combines the look and feel of Indian bazaars, with aspects of modern retail,
like choice,
convenience and hygiene. Food Bazaar, food and grocery chain and launch
Central, a first
of its kind seamless mall located in the heart of major Indian cities, followed
this. Some
of its other formats include, Collection i (home improvement products), E-
Zone
(consumer electronics), Depot (books, music, gifts and stationary), all
(fashion apparel for
12. plus-size individuals), Shoe Factory (footwear) and Blue Sky (fashion
accessories). It has
recently launched its etailing venture, future bazaar.com
Background: Founded in 1987 as a garment manufacturing company, the
company
forayed into modern retail in August 1997 with the launch of its first
department store,
Pantaloons in Kolkata.
Listing: Pantaloon Retail is a listed company on the Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE,
Scrip Code: 523574) and National Stock Exchange (NSE, Symbol:
PANTALOONR).
Format-2
CENTRAL
18
Central, the showcase seamless mall concept is one of the more popular
offerings in the
lifestyle segment that celebrates shopping in India. During the year, Central
capitalized on
its positioning of being a destination where citizens can just come and
unwind, whether
it’s for shopping for a wide range of national and international brands,
enjoying their
favorite cuisine at the multiple specialty restaurants and food courts or
watching the latest
movie releases at the in-house multiplexes.
The most reputed brands are showcased in Central. It is also emerging as the
destination
of first choice for new fashion brands in India. Central assures better
visibility, instant
recognition, good quality and commercially viable space on the basis of the
optimum
space utilization concept, taking the brand closer to the consumer. With
brands within
Central competing against the best brands in the country, it also allows
benchmarking for
these brands.
The coming year will also witness many new concepts being introduced at
all
13. Central malls. Some of these concepts include communications (MPort and
Gen M),
electronics (E-Zone), furniture and accents (Collection I), fitness equipments
and wellness
zones, books, music, gifts & stationery (Depot) and fine dining restaurants
etc. Some of
the new alliances that the group has entered into, like Etam, Lee Cooper and
Gini & Jony
will also share space within all Central malls.
Format-3
PLANET RETAIL
19
A young and emerging India is also eager to experience international brands.
We sensed
this opportunity some time back and have built a strong portfolio of
international brands
through our strategic partnership with Planet Retail Holdings Pvt. Ltd.
The alliance with
Planet Retail provides access to international fashion retail chains like
Marks & Spencer,
with 9 stores at present; Guess the US brand that has 12 retail stores
currently, and the
Spanish brand Women’s Secret which is retailed through 2 outlets. Planet
Retail also has a
multi-brand international sportswear format under the brand ‘Planet Sports’.
The company
is the sole licensee for sportswear brands such as Converse, Spalding and
the Athlete’s
Foot the venture has also launched other formats like Sports Warehouse,
Accessorize,
Monsoon, Next, and Debenhams.
Format-4
Depot
This largely untapped unorganized market for
books and music with very few players, throws up
an enormous opportunity; something that prompted Pantaloon to make its
foray through
its own format, Depot in 2005-06. Located as stand-alone stores and within
most
14. 20
Pantaloons, Central and Big Bazaar retail formats, Depot’s vision is to be a
one-stop shop
where customers will find an extensive range of books, multimedia, toys,
gifts and
stationery, thereby transforming the way books, music, multimedia and gifts
are bought,
sold and perceived in India. This would be made possible by the creation of
a portfolio of
exclusive titles, an Indian experience while shopping and connecting with
the mind and
soul through different languages, ideas and tunes.
Books, Music and Gifts
Reading as a habit is ingrained into the Indian psyche from time
immemorial. However, it
is being increasingly associated with a select few. The company believes
that existing
formats in the segment offer an intimidating environment that alienates the
masses. The
company has therefore taken this initiative of launching a chain of books,
music and gifts
stores that will once again democratize the reading habit in the country. The
company
believes that with 1.2 billion people, the habit of reading can become a
strong business
proposition. Depot seeks to work with communities in and around the area
where it is
located and hopes to attract the entire family to spend quality time together.
It is focusing
on the introduction of old classics and books in regional languages with an
objective to
make these affordable to a mass audience.
Format-5
Fashion Station
Fashion Station, which represents the
company’s offering of the latest in fashion for the masses, has met with
reasonable
21
success since its launch in 2004-05. These thematic stores that offer the most
15. contemporary in fashion and accessories, is another of the value added
propositions that
Pantaloon seeks to offer. The aspirational mass of consumers who are
bombarded with
the latest in style through media penetration, hedonism and peer emulation,
need an
outlet that meets their requirements of trendy, latest and yet affordable
fashion. Fashion
Station is positioned to meet their requirements, and thereby take fashion to
the masses.
Format-6
Home Improvement
Some of the key factors contributing to
growth in the housing sector in India are
increasing purchasing power increasing number of nuclear families, softer
interest rates,
22
easy availability of finance schemes and an overall real estate boom across
the country.
There is a shortage of more than 33 million dwelling units. With the average
age of a
homebuyer reducing from 50 to sub-30, 4 million new homes are being
bought annually.
With every house, a dream is planted to decorate the house. And this creates
a demand for
furniture, electronics and home improvement products. Modern retail is
ideally placed to
capture a significant chunk of consumer spend made by a new homebuyer.
The market for
home décor and improvement is largely unorganized and hence a new
homeowner has to
literally visit several markets and stores for meeting his home needs. This
was the
opportunity that Pantaloon perceived and the reason why it entered the Rs.
90,000 crore
home solutions market in 2004-05. With its presence in the modern retail
and consumer
space, this new concept was an opportunity for the company to leverage its
experience
16. and offer the consumer an alternative solution to canalize his consumption
needs.
In the Rs.25000 crore consumer durable industry,
which is growing at nearly 6 per cent every year, EZone
has already emerged as a force to reckon with. This lifestyle retail format
offers a
never experienced before environment for shopping for the best in national
and
international consumer electronic and durables brands. It retails products
ranging from
music systems to laptops, from the latest plasma television sets to DVD
players, from
washing machines to air-conditioners to name a few. Typically in excess of
12,000
square feet in size, E-Zones are primarily stand-alone concepts, but are also
present
within the company’s Central malls
Format- 7
COMMUNICATION
23
With over 2 billion phone users worldwide, mobility has now become an
intrinsic part of
our personal and working lives. Mobile operators, cell phone manufacturers,
content
publishers, wireless application service providers and many other key
players in the
mobile industry are all working to carve out the best position in the value
chain, to find
the right place from where they can best serve both their own and their
customers’ needs.
En route towards 3 billion phones worldwide, a major shift would occur in
consumer
interest from carriage to content and from a verbal to a growing visual
world. With more
mobile cameras sold in 2005 than digital cameras, with more music/video
players in
mobiles than iPods, with more messaging reach than PCs, convergence with
the online
world is now very much a reality. In India, the story is no different. With
over 150 million
17. mobile subscribers expected by 2008, there exists a huge potential for all
players in the
mobility space. Most of the mobile phones in India are sold through ‘mom
and pop
‘stores, and there is a huge grey market that exists.
MBazaar
24
Pantaloon realized this largely untapped opportunity and intended to be a
dominant
modern retail player in the mobile space. This is what prompted the
company to set up a
new division ConvergeM in 2005-06 to identify, develop and bring to the
market, mobile
products and solutions tailor-made to suit the consumers requirements at
competitive
prices. ConvergeM adopts a unique approach of establishing, multi-brand,
multi-category,
multi-format and comprehensive solution outlets to lead and exponentially
expand the
market. As in most other formats, ConvergeM too operates in the lifestyle
and value
platforms. Its value offering, MBazaar is a format that addresses the value
seeker’s quest
for possessing latest technologies at lowest prices. Primarily aimed at the
replacement
market, a typical
MBazaar is located within most Big Bazaar stores as well as stand-alone
options. This
250-500 square feet offering retails both GSM and CDMA and landline
phones, while
providing options of M Pods, downloads to name a few. The mission for
Converge M is
to emerge as the largest organized retailer in the mobile space, while leading
innovation
in mobile applications and being the most favored destination for all
communication
needs.
Format-8
Restaurant, Leisure & Entertainment
25
18. Increasing urbanization and rising disposable incomes are characteristics
that are common
in emerging economies like India. Estimates suggest a growth in urban
consumption at
potentially 20% per annum in nominal terms for at least the next 5-7 year
period.
The total number of middle to high income households is projected to reach
105 million
by 2010, thereby adding a large number of people to the consuming class.
These
demographic numbers represent a young nation, which has an increased
propensity to
spend in restaurants and other food service sectors, fuelling growth in the
Leisure,
Restaurants and Entertainment industries.
The company is using the collaborative approach to strengthen its position in
the leisure
and entertainment space. This has helped the company build a complete
bouquet of
brands that span from food courts to fine dining. As the shift from high
street to malls
continues, the restaurant business is expected to increase significantly. For
Indians,
shopping comes hand in hand with eating and celebrating and these formats
are being
developed keeping this in mind. F123 is designed as a entertainment zone
that can be
present in every mall and this business is expected
to gain traction in the coming year.
F123, the entertainment zone offering is a leisure solution for all age groups.
The focus
would be to offer a wide range of gaming options from bowling and pool,
interactive
video games to bumper cars. The entire concept is built around international
thinking and
gaming knowledge, with Indian pricing. For the year ending 2005-06, there
were three
F123’s operational, with the first one opening in November 2005.

In the beauty space, the company’s offering, Star & Sitara aims at
pampering the beauty
conscious consumer by offering the latest beauty products, ranging from
cosmetics, skin

salon for men
and women. Customers will be treated to the best quality hair and skin
services at
unbelievable prices. One such store was operational as on the 30th June
2006.
Beauty & Health Mall
Pantaloon, will be the first retailer in India to
offer health, beauty and wellness products and
services. This will be led through its Beauty &
Health Mall format. Typically, of around 25,000 square feet each, these
centers will
include pharmacies and beauty product zones and a host of other offerings
such as health
cafes, gymnasium, healthcare services, retailing fitness equipments, yoga
centers and
books on health and fitness etc. The company plans to open at least three
Health &
Beauty Malls during the year 2006-07 in Bangalore, Ahmedabad and
Mumbai.

E-TAILING
27
The emergence of a mass base of net savvy Indians is realty today. Access to
Internet is
no longer limited to a small segment of young, male urban people. Cutting
across age
20. groups, gender, geography and socio-economic backgrounds, Indians are
taking to the net
like fish to water. It is estimated that there are at least 25 million Indians
who access the
Internet on a regular basis. Falling prices of personal computers and laptops
coupled with
increasing penetration of internet, and broadband services is driving more
and more
Indians to the Internet. In fact, Indians are no longer limiting their Internet
usage to email
and chatting. Online shopping has finally come of age. As the leading
retailer in India,
Pantaloon could ill afford to overlook this emerging segment. There is a
sufficiently large
segment of online shoppers whose consumption spends needs to be
captured. It’s with
this belief that the company started exploring this area. Pantaloon perceives
its online
business as yet another delivery format that can potentially reach out to 25
million
customers. Future Bazaar, has modeled itself on a unique complete retailer
platform.
Etailing requires extensive sourcing capabilities, warehousing capacity,
buying trends
understanding & most importantly a robust & efficient logistic backend.
Future Bazaar
leverages the offline brand equity and brick & mortar presence of the group
via multi
channel integration to benefit on economy of scales, economy of scope in
promotion &
distribution and utilizing the offline learning into online & vice-versa to
grow at a faster
pace. As a new delivery format, Future Bazaar can benefit from the
learning’s and
expertise gathered in existing formats as well as boost sales at these formats
through the
online sale of gift vouchers
Format-11
Liberty Shoes

21. With fashion being the focus of the company, the intent is to provide a
complete wardrobe
experience to the consumer that includes not just apparel but fashion
accessories also.
Accessories speak a lot about the personality of the individual and are a
reflection of the
attitude of the wearer. Footwear is one such category in the fashion sphere
that truly
embodies the phrase-best foot forward.
Footwear as a category has been present in most of the company’s Big
Bazaar; Fashion
Station, Pantaloons and Central retail formats. During the year under review,
Pantaloon
explored the opportunity to get into branded footwear, by partnering with the
wellestablished
footwear company Liberty Shoes. The joint venture named Foot Mart
Retail
(India) Limited would launch branded footwear retail chains in the country
under the
‘Shoe Factory’ brand. These stores would be located within most retail
spaces that
Pantaloon would be present in, and as stand alone stores across the country.
Shoe Factory
stores would be a destination for men, women and children of all ages, who
can choose
from a wide variety of quality footwear at various price points, suiting their
budgets. The
venture launched its first store in Ahmedabad on 5th May 2006. Spread over
nearly
13,000 square feet, this value format houses a wide range of the latest and
trendiest foo
twear and accessories for all occasions, at unbeatable prices.
Format-12
GINI & JONY

The company recognizes that the organized kids wear category has shown
signs of
sizeable growth over the past couple of years. In order to expand and
consolidate its
22. presence in this category, the company entered into a joint venture with the
country’s
leading kids wear retailer, Gini & Jony Apparels Pvt. Ltd. This equal joint
venture named
GJ Future Fashions Limited, apart from gaining additional visibility
within all existing
and upcoming Pantaloons stores and Central malls will set up a chain of
exclusive kids
wear stores throughout the country, addressing fashion needs of children in
all age
groups, from 5 to 15 years. This initiative witnessed the opening of two
stand-alone stores
during the year 2005-06 in Indore and Ahmedabad.

Food Bazaar

Across India, food habits vary according to community, customs and
geography. Food
Bazaar, through its multiple outlets addresses this. At the same time it offers
best quality
products at wholesale prices to a wide cross section of the India population.
Food Bazaar
effectively blends the look, touch and feels of the Indian bazaar with the
choice,
convenience and hygiene that modern retail provides. The food and grocery
division of
the company was launched in 2002-03 and has grown to 47 stores
nationwide at the end
of the current financial year. Most stores are located within Big Bazaar,
Central and
Pantaloons and act as strong footfall generators. There are separate stand-
alone Food
Bazaars as well. The business contributed just fewer than 50 per cent of
value retailing,
and about 20 per cent to the company’s turnover during 2005-06. Food
Bazaar offers a
variety of daily consumption items, which include staples, soaps and
detergents, oils,
24. cereals and biscuits. On the product category side, the primary segregation is
done on the
basis of staples, fresh produce, branded foods and home and personal care
products.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Big Bazaar basically means business and in business collection of raw
data allows the
managers to see the real scenario and then take a decision as per the
data obtained. There
are several implications in this statement:
• They can examine the available information in the form of data to
make a decision
• They can even get a clear picture of the scenario or potential of Big
Bazaar as
compared to other retail stores in the city.
• The information can only be gathered by data collection and then
analyzing the
available data.
Therefore, it can be said that the data collection is an important part of
the project.
The projected objectives were considered and as per the requirement a
market survey was
done.
Procedure:
The procedure that followed can be enlisted as below:
• Reading about the product
• Deciding on the objective to proceed.
• Developing Survey instruments
29. • Conducting personal interviews of different age-groups, sex, monthly
income and
occupation through a Questionnaire.

Data
Raw numbers Information
Process adopted:
1. Gaining k nowledge about the product at Big Bazaar:
Reading about the products was the first step undertaken. This gave not
only in
depth knowledge about what is been offered by other players but also
proved useful
while developing the questionnaire.
Steps in the Development of the Survey Instruments
The main instruments required for survey was a well-developed
questionnaire. The
questionnaire development took place in a series of steps as described
below:
44
Research objectives are being
transformed into information objectives.
The Appropriate data collection methods have
been determined
The information required by each objective is
being determined.
Specific Questions/Scale Measurement format is
developed.
Question/Scale Measurements is being
evaluated.
2. Customer Survey:
45
Research objectives are being
transformed into information objectives.
The number of information needed is being
determined.
The questionnaire and layout is being evaluated.
Revise the questionnaire layout if needed.
The Questionnaire format is being finalized.
The people play an important part as a clear perception of people about
the product
30. can be estimated and known. Studying the need levels of the people
regarding the
products can be observed. It was very useful in knowing about the
requirements of the
people.
Research Design:
A two stage Research was conducted:
1. Secondary Research:
Data was collected from websites and catalogues to understand the
product of the
different players
2. Primary Research:
A Primary Research was conducted:
The questionnaire was prepared for the companies and following
areas covered:
• competing retail stores
• Features offered by different stores
• Consumer profile
• Satisfaction level
• Reasons for their purchase.
• Desirable features of the product and service.
Sampling Plan:Elements:The target population of the study
included the general
population of every age who enters to the Big Bazaar
Sample size: 100 people.
46
Data Collection
The final draft of the questionnaire (see Appendix) was prepared on the
basis of the
observations from the pilot study. These were then finally filled by 100
customer, for the
conclusive study.
Finally the data collected was fed into the data analysis software- SPSS, to
be analyzed
using statistical techniques.
Types of Primary Data collected:
• Socioeconomic Characteristics:
31. Socioeconomic characteristics are sometimes called “states of being” in that
they
represent the type of people. The factors on which we are working are
occupation.
Monthly transaction is also an important parameter but it is difficult to
verify.
Although the amount of money that business unit earns in a month is an
absolute, not
a relative quantity but it is a sensitive topic in our society and it is difficult to
determine.
• Attitudes/Opinions:
Through the questionnaire we have tried to get hold of customers preference,
inclination and requirement. Attitude is an important notion in the marketing
literature, since it is generally thought that the attitudes are related to the
behavior of
customer.
• Motivation:
Through the questionnaire we have tried to find the hidden need or want of
customer
and have tried to find if these people can be tapped as the potential customer
for Big
Bazaar.
47
• Behavior:
Behavior concerns what subjects have done or are doing. Through the
questionnaire we have tried to find out the behavior of the individuals
regarding the product and their responses. If the responses are favorable then
the person can be said to be our potential customer. The primary data serves
as
an important tool to measure the behavioral trend of the customer. It helps in
answering some of the vital Questions.
Obtaining the Primary Data:
The data collection was primarily done through communication.
Communication
involves questioning respondents to secure the desired information, using a
data
collection instrument called questionnaire. The questions were in writing
and so were
the responses.
Versatility:
32. It is the ability of a technique to collect the information on the many types of
primary
data of interest to marketers. It has also been found that some of the people
do not
answer truthfully to all the questions especially in the case of the personal
details
48
Data Analysis
The tools and methods of data collection identified earlier were employed to
gather data
on the consumer perception on Big Bazaar. The data accrued, especially
from the
interviews and questionnaires circulated, are tabulated and depicted on
graphs in the
following pages. The data thus gathered and tabulated is analyzed. The data
is then
scrutinized and relevant interpretations are drawn.
The major objectives of analysis of data are:
1. To evaluate and enhance data quality
2. Examine effects of other relevant factors
3. Customer satisfaction ratio,
4. Level of satisfaction,
5. Causes of dis-satisfaction,
6. Customer responses regarding services.
The data collection plan, including procedures, instruments, and forms, was
designed and
pre-tested to maximize accuracy. All data collection activities were
monitored to ensure
adherence to the data collection protocol and to prompt actions to minimize
and resolve missing and questionable data. Monitoring procedures were
instituted at the
outset and maintained throughout the study, since the faster irregularities can
be
detected; the greater the likelihood that they can be resolved in a satisfactory
manner and
the sooner preventive measures can be instituted.

Data :
The first criteria respondents were asked to indicate was the age
group they belonged to. Respondents were asked to choose
among four age group categories, viz., below 18, 18-40, 40-60, 60 above
years. The age
groups were identified as key factors impacting shopping and purchase
decisions of
consumers.
Analysis
From the table, and pie chart depicted above, the distribution of the
population under
study is evident. Of the 100 respondents who answered the questionnaire,
45% indicated
that their ages fell in the category 18-40 years 30% indicated below 18, 15%
indicated 40-
60 year and 10% indicated 60 above.
Interpretation :
By analyzing the responses to this question, I, as a researcher, as well as
companies, can identify the demographics of the population that visit retail
outlets. The
highest number of respondents falls in the age group 18-40. It can be
deduced that most of
the consumers who visit retail outlets regularly are the youth. They make up
almost more
34. than half of the population who shop at retail stores.

Data:
Consumers were asked to indicate their gender. The object of this question is
to
understand the demographics of the population under study.
Analysis:
From the table, and pie chart depicted above, the distribution of the
consumers is evident.
Of the 100 respondents who answered the questionnaire, 65 were female and
35 were
male. It is evident from the responses and the subsequent tabulation that the
number of
female respondents was higher than that of the male respondents in the
population under
study. Female are the major buyers at the Big Bazaar.
52
Interpretation:
By analyzing the responses to this question, I as ,a researcher, as well as
companies, can
identify the distribution in the number of men and women who
visit the retail outlets and appropriate decisions can be made keeping these
numbers in
mind.
The highest number of respondents were female, as is depicted by the graph
and chart
presented above. The number of male respondents was less compared to the
female
respondents.
Two decisions can be made from the above data collected:
35. • one, more women visit retail outlets than men.
• Two, more women are willing to fill out questionnaires and take a survey
than
men.
Since more women can be inferred to visit retail stores than men, companies
can target
their offerings and marketing strategies in two areas. Retail outlets can
appeal to the women customers by offering more products geared especially
towards
women. They can provide a shopping experience that women are
particularly attracted to.
Another way that retail chains can use the above data is to think new
techniques so that
they can appeal to the men rather than the women. Since, fewer men visit
retail stores as against women, the companies have a large base of potential
customers. By
providing products that are geared towards men and by providing a shopping
experience
that attract men’s they can increase their loyal customers.

Consumers were asked to indicate the source from where they got
information about Big
Bazaar. The object of this question is to understand the source of
information of the
population under study.

consumers is evident.
Of the 100 respondents who answered the questionnaire, 40% people got
information
about Big Bazaar from word of mouth 30% from electronic media ,20%
from print
media ,10% from Hoardings.
Interpretation:
By analyzing the responses to this question, I as ,a researcher, as well as
companies, can
identify the source of the information for the customers from where they got
the
information about Big Bazaar.
Appropriate decisions can be made keeping these numbers in mind.
• We should increase the quality of service and which we are providing to
customers,
so that we can increase loyal customers so that they can influence more
people and
our customer base can be increased.
• Secondly we can increase our advertisement on electronic media as now
days
customers are also influenced by adds on TV, and other electronic media.

Data:

The frequency
points furnished were: Once a week, Fortnightly, and Once a month. These
frequency
points were identified by observation and interview as the average times that
consumers
shop.
56
Analysis
From the table, and pie chart depicted above, the frequency of shopping of
the
respondents is evident. Of the 100 respondents who answered the
questionnaire, 45
indicated that they shopped once a week, 30 indicated that they shopped
Fortnightly 25
who visit shops, malls or retail stores once a month.
Interpretation
This question is aimed at understanding how frequently consumers visit
shops and buy
their products or avail of their services. The frequency points laid before the
respondent
have been the result of observation and interview. By analysing the
responses to this
question, I the researchers, as well as companies, can identify the number of
times a
customer is likely to shop in a month’s time.
The highest responses have been attributed to once a week shopping. It can
be deduced
that consumers who shop only once a week, pose very different challenges
to retail stores.
Such customers can be presumed to have a high disposable income and may
buy more
lifestyle or fashion products. Since they shop so frequently, they must
continually be
38. entertained and attracted to make repeat purchases at stores. When targeting
this segment,
companies must be able to get new stock every week, and update their
marketing
strategies continuously.
As monthly customers can buy the products in bulk so they can shop during
(M.B.B) and
other offer seasons but we can give every week big discounts to customers
so its more
difficult to increase the customer base of weekly customers. It can be
increased if
57
employee handle the customer well, display of the product, and ambience of
the retail
outlet is good .

Interpretation
This question is aimed at understanding what elements attract the consumer
the most.
The preference points laid before the respondent have been the result of
observation and
interview. By analysing the responses to this question, I the researchers, as
well as
companies, can identify the biggest factors that influence the consumers in
favouring one
store over others.
The highest responses and the highest factor have been attributed to
availability of
products on sale, when choosing to shop at a particular store.
Although it is said that the most important things in retail are “Location,
location, and
location”, from the consumers’ point of view, proximity is of little concern.
The quality,
price and variety of goods play big roles in the decision making process.

Of the 100 respondents who answered the questionnaire, 50% customers
purchase
decision are effected by M.B.B(Monthly Bacaht Bazaar ) 30% are
influenced by
Wednesday Bazaar and only 20% got influenced by weekend offers.
Interpretation:
By analyzing the responses to this question, I as ,a researcher, as well as
companies, can
identify the offers which influence the customers most while purchasing at
Big Bazaar.
Appropriate decisions can be made keeping these numbers in mind.
• We should increase the no. of offers days as we can give fortnightly offers,
and
other additional discounts which are not available outside of Big Bazaar, so
that we
can increase loyal customers so that they can influence more people and our
customer base can be increased.
• Secondly we can increase our advertisement on electronic media as now
days
customers are also influenced by adds on TV, and other electronic media,
about
different offers as many customers are not aware of different offers going on
at Big
Bazaar.

they visit retail
outlets to purchase Clothes.
63
To the retail stores, the above tabulated responses lead to a very important
result.
Groceries is the fastest moving consumer good. Retail outlets that provide

Conclusion
46. • The report reveals that there is huge scope for the growth of organized
retailing and
improvement of Big Bazaar Store in Allahabad city.
• With the changing lifestyle, modernization and westernization there exists
a huge
scope for the growth of Big Bazaar store and is therefore a threat to
unorganized
retailing.
• Big Bazaar store are able to provide almost all categories of items related
to food,
health, beauty products, clothing & footwear, durable goods so it become
quite
easier for the customer to buy from one shop and hence is a convinient way
of
shopping when compared to unorganized retailing.
• Aggressive Marketing is the key to increasing the market share in this area,
since
the market has a lot of potential both in terms of untapped market .
71
Recomendation
• To increase more footfalls more promotional activities must be carried
out. For this BIG BAZAAR can either offer more discounts or increase their
advertisements. Increase in the number of footfalls will lead to increase in
sales.
.
• Allowing more space between the entrance of a store and a product gives
it more time in the shopper’s eye as he or she approaches it. It builds a little
visual anticipation.
• The number of trial rooms available at BIG BAZAAR is very less as
compared to the number of people coming. This usually results in long
queues
and waiting by customers.
• Install more full length mirrors inside the store so as to assist the
customers to make better purchase decisions.
• Play light music inside the store to make the shopping a pleasurable
experience.
• They can also exhibit their new line of clothing through events like
fashion shows.
• Baskets should be scattered throughout the store, wherever shoppers
47. might need them. Many customers don’t begin seriously considering
merchandise until they have browsed a bit.
72
73
Limitations
This research has a number of limitations that must be acknowledged.
• First, the sample used for this study consisted mostly of college students.
Therefore, these results may not be applicable to the wider population in
general.
• Secondly, the results of this study are limited to a specialty retail branded
purchasing context.
• Lastly, it must be acknowledged that there may be numerous other
variables that contribute to the development of customer satisfaction,
customer
loyalty, and word of mouth communication which are briefly touched upon
below.
• To convince the people for a proper interviewing process is also difficult.
• The figures have been taken as approximations.
