sustained customer loyalty.

manufacturer’s brand brand products and
consumers will visit those retail stores who
are known for their quality and service.

20. Product



Identify the purpose of your retail display. Of course you want
to sell more products—but first, get specific. Base your
purpose on your target market and clients’ needs.
You do not need to display all the items in your product line.
Narrow your focus to a few relevant choices. Limit yourself to
three or five products. Odd numbers are more appealing to
the eyes. Be sure to include a variety of price points.
Also feature testers and samples. Products that allow
interaction increase the opportunity for a sale because most
clients will not buy what they cannot try.

21. Placement

Map out the location of your retail
display. Dedicate your prime real
estate—generally to the right of the
entrance—to the featured display.
Most clients will look and walk to the
right when entering a room.
Akshata

22. Props


The most effective displays use the
80/20 rule of design: No more than 20%
of the display should be props. Let your
retail products be the stars and the
decorations be the supporting cast.
Select props that support the message
or theme of your display.
Props also can be used to add variety in
height, texture and color to your display,
which will draw attention to the products.
Give yourself permission to try different
arrangements of the products and props.

23. Promotion


Don’t assume that simply creating a display will increase
sales. Plan your promotional strategy. Start by thoroughly
educating staff on the products and purpose of the retail
display.
The visual nature of a new retail display also makes it perfect
for promoting on Facebook. Post photos and share
information on the benefits of the products, and invite clients
to stop in to see the new display and sample the products.
Take advantage of online chatter to spread the word.

24. Measure results

The key indicator—and primary goal—of
your display is increased retail sales of
the featured products. Measure results
by tracking successful sales and the
characteristics
of
their
respective
displays so that you can repeat them in
the future. Other indicators of success
may be more subtle, but should not be
overlooked. Comments from clients—
online and in person—and time spent
interacting with the product are all
indicators that your display is producing
the desired result.

25. Strategic retail planning

This is the process of developing and
maintaining a strategic fit between the retail
organisation’s capabilities and its changing
marketing opportunities.

It relies on developing a clear corporate
mission, supporting objectives, creating a
sound business portfolio, and coordinating
functional strategies.

26. Case Study- Shoppers Stop


About Shoppers Stop
Shoppers Stop is one of the first retail chains
started in india in 1991 by the Raheja Group. It
now boasts of 27 retail outlets across the country
and is one of India's largest retail chains, having
expanded from apparel and accessories to home
furnishings and books under the Home Stop and
Crossword Brands. Other Brands under the
Shoppers Stop umbrella are MotherCare, Desi
Cafe, Brio, Nuance, Arcelia, Timezone and
Hypercity.

27. The Challenge
 Executives at the Shoppers Stop Group
noticed their sales falling into the 80:20
pattern with loyalty card customers despite
being only 15% of the base contributing over
70% of the revenues of Shoppers Stop.
 The Group realized that since they have data
on loyalty card holders, if they could
understand who the customer really is, what
she buys, when she buys and why, they may
be able to fine tune their offerings to provide
the customer a better experience and
increase their share of wallet.

28. The solution



Shoppers Stop conceptualized 'Project Drishti', a data warehouse
and mining project in 2007 and launched it in 2008 way ahead of
competition. The objective of the project was to streamline data
obtained from customers across all its stores and loyalty programs
and convert it into analytics that could be used for decision making.
Project Drishti led to the Group being able to identify and
understand their target segments across various stores and
programs and create meaningful targeted campaigns for their
bigger spenders. It also enabled the company to identify cases
where multiple stores in the same city were losing business to
each other instead of external competitors.
While the sales increase and customer base expansion achieved
by Shoppers Stop till date is important, what is most important is
the fact that Shoppers Stop has equipped itself with the weapon for
the future- "Customer Intelligence." Ad this weapon will keep it
ahead of competition till competitors do a catch up and build

smarter intelligence.
