Study Analysis
The line “Everything is fair in love and war” is
very suitable for the tug of war between
online and offline in retail sector as both
players of on and off are adopting various
marketing strategies to attract and retain the
customers and there are clashes of
marketing offerings which is making the king
of the market-customer delighted.
There are some identified gaps between both
of and on line retailers which lead to tug of
war among them. These are mentioned as
below:-
1. Online vs. Offline-Online has no any
geographical limitation while offline has
limited geographical boundary.
2. Impersonal vs. Personal-Customers are
unknown to online and they even don’t visit
the company while in offline, customers are
known as many of them are regular visitors
and they know about the company.
3. Limited choices vs. Much more choice-
Customers have limited choice on online and
have much more choice available at offline.
4. Reverse Logistics vs. No
return.
5. Login vs. Footfall
6. Quality vs. Cost-Quality may
be good in online retail while
price of product are higher
in offline than online.
7. No Renting vs. Renting
8. No VAT vs. VAT
9. No Stocking vs. Stocking
10.24/7 vs. Fixed Duration
• For sustaining and surviving in this global
competitive business world, all are in the hurry
to differentiate themselves from others by hook
or crook and only that would be the market
leader who will be the fittest among all.
• From Big Billion Day Sale on Flipkart to Big
Bazaar’s Saal ka Sabse Sasta Din, the war is
on to acquire more and more customers in a
short span of time are the current marketing
strategies adopted by companies of
marketplaces and market spaces.
