10. Unique Selling Proposition
Decathlon’s USP is “Everything in
sports in affordable price” and their UVP
is that they sell goods that can be
purchasable by all classes of people i.e,
they have products of different price
ranges so that these products are made
affordable to all. The starting price is
from RS.19 which are cones and
whistles.
11. Advertising Strategies & Techniques
Decathlon does not do any
advertising. They firmly believe in word
of mouth marketing. In case of new
Product introduction if their customer is
really attached to their store, they
would ask them to register in their
website and they would notify them of
the latest products of their interests.
They also put Banners to notify them.
12. Employee’s role
Decathlon believes in word of Mouth
marketing and therefore customer
relationship is very important to them. The
Employees enquire the customer
requirements and as per their request
product's price, quality will be displayed &
explained. There is no words of compulsion
to buy a Product.
13. Factors affecting the Business
a) Seasons - Seasons affect their business a lot. During summer they
would expecting whole lot of customers. It is the same during the
weekends & government holidays. Other than that customers are
relatively low.
b) Competitors - Other Sportswear brands such as Nike, Adidas etc
c) Location - The store is located far away from city. This is a major
disadvantage as people usually don’t travel a long distance just to buy a
single product which can rather be bought from nearby stores.
14. Ecommerce
Decathlon is also an online Retailer, providing Goods via
Internet. The Price is the same as that of the Decathlon retail Store and
shipping charges differ depending upon the Size and Weight. Shipping
charges are free for lightweight Products that costs above ₹3,000 is free.
15. Handling Returns and Damaged Products
Returns are accepted in
Decathlon as long as the Products
returned are in good conditions for
resale. The time limit to return a
Product is 15 Days. As far as the
Damaged Products are concerned
Decathlon repairs them in its
Service section that is available in
the Decathlon Store itself.
16. Employee Retention
Although Decathlon believes salary will always be a determinant
factor in an employee’s decision to remain in or leave your company,
other factors are also at play. Having a strong and appealing company
culture and investing money in the development and personal and
professional growth of employees are also key to retaining them. The
Salary is also quite good when compared with other Stores.
For Decathlon, believing in your staff and developing your employees
is an essential part of the business strategy. “If you put your staff first, they
will give back to the company,” Michel Leclercq says. Indeed, the
company culture of Decathlon is built upon this very idea.
17. Pricing Strategies and Price variation
Decathlon follows Psychological Pricing strategy. The prices of
the various Products in Decathlon remain the same throughout the year
despite the changes in demand for those Products.
18. Products and Brands
In Foreign Countries Decatlon sells various Brands of different
Sports but in India due to FDI issues Decathlon has been permitted to sell
goods that are manufactured in India only. Hence Decathlon sells only it’s
own Products in India except for few sports.
Cycling and its related Products:
31. Societal Marketing
Decathlon follows Societal Marketing where the Company
markets it’s values not only with Customer needs in mind rather taking the
long term well being of the Society as a whole. They often conduct
tournaments during weekends to promote their company.
