USP. There is an average discount of 7-8% on all items in respect
to their MRP. Prices of products are low because it is able to secure
stock directly from the manufacturer. There are huge synergies in
terms of bulk purchasing, central warehousing and transportation.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength                        Weakness
- High Brand Equity             - Unable to meet store
- State-of-art infrastructure   opening targets
- PoP promotions                - Falling revenue/sq. ft.
- Variety of stuff under
single roof at competitive
prices


Opportunity                     Threat
- Organized retail              - Competitors – Local and
- Evolving consumer             International
preferences                     - Government policies
                                - Unorganized retail
TARGET AUDIENCE


•Big Bazaar targets middle and upper middle class
customers

•The large and growing young working population is its
preferred customer segment

•Targets specifically as customers - children ,working
women and home makers who are mostly the primary
decision makers
Maintaining Customer Database

• The rise of loyalty programs, mail order and the Internet
  has provided retailers with real access to consumer data.
  Data warehousing and mining technologies offers
  retailers the tools they need to make sense of their
  consumer data and apply it to business.
• For Big Bazzaar , one of the way of maintaining the
  Customer Database is by issuing of Loyalty cards which
  are called as - Future Cards
  - Types of Future cards
•    Silver Card
•    Gold Card
•    Shakti card
Customer Profitability Analysis (CPA)

Customers classified into four types
• Platinum Customers
• Gold Customers
• Iron Customers
• Lead Customers
Differentiating customers in terms of:
• Their needs
• Their value to the company
Types of Analysis for CRM


•   Periodic Surveys
•   Customer Loss Rate
•   Analysis of Mystery Shoppers
•   Monitor Competitive Performance
Complaint Handling Procedure


•   Screening and Logging
•   Investigating
•   Acknowledging
•   Formulating a solution
•   Responding
•   Following Up
RECOMMENDATIONS

• Big Bazaar needs to focus more on Customer Relationship
   Management {CRM} and improved in-store assistance
   (Building loyal customers base and developing a more
   profitable – loyalty cycle).
• Customer Care Centre to guide and counsel about customer
    loyalty programs.
• Training must be provided to sales personnel not only of
  managing there own counters but for other functions also. Job
  rotation and training will enhance their knowledge, job profile
  and further boost the morale of employees to effectively
   perform their duties and responsibilities.
RECOMMENDATIONS

•Exchange offers must be made more simpler as the
 consumers are often not clear about how to use them.
•Seating arrangements and child amusement areas can
 be made available for customers.
•Customers usually face problem in billing their
purchased goods. Waiting in long queues forces them to
leave certain products midway thereby causing loss of
sale to Big Bazaar. So billing counters must be increased
and employees at the billing should be given training so
that they could bill the products in more efficient fashion
in much lesser time.
RECOMMENDATIONS

• Employess at the billing stations should have the
information about the special offers and the events that are
being conducted at the store so they commit lesser
mistakes.
•One solution can be that employees can be made wireless
billing terminals available so they can generate bill for the
customers anywhere in the store rather than only at the
exit terminals so as to make the exits less crowded .
•Care to be taken to maintain proper inventory levels and
the varieties at all times and offer the customer what is
needed rather than offering what is available.
RECOMMENDATIONS


•Stress Buster Exercises can be organized for employees
during evenings in sessions as employees have to stand
all throughout the day.
•Offer Home Delivery at a charge below certain billing
limit and free of cost above certain billing limit.
•Offer easy credit facility for frequent customers.
•Offer discounts to frequent customers.
Conclusion

• Customer often says “I won’t complain. I
  just won’t Come Back”

• Being on par in terms of Price and Quality
  only gets you into the Game. Service wins
  the Game.

• Treat your Customer, just like you expect
  to be treated when you are a Customer.
Happy Shopping…
