INTRODUCTION
RETAIL INDUSTRY IN INDIA
ABSTRACT:
The Retail bazaar in India is booming beyond everyone‘s expectation. The Indian Retail
sector has caught the world‘s imagination in the last few years. India‘s retail growth was
largely driven by increasing disposable incomes, favourable demographics, changing
lifestyles, growth of the middle class segment and a high potential for penetration into urban
and rural markets. The organized retail sector accounts for 5 % which is expected to grow to
10 % by the end of 2011. A number of large corporate houses like Aditya Birla , Bharti ,
Reliance ,Pantaloons ,Vishal ,Tata Retail, RPG, Raheja's and Piramals's have diversified to
add retail to their sector portfolio. This study revolves around the opportunities and
challenges faced by organized retail players in India. It was found that organized retailers see
competition from the unorganized sector as their biggest challenge, followed by competition
between organized retailers and the inefficiency of distribution channels, internal logistical
problem and retail shrinkage.
The Retail scene
‗Retail‘ the term which is the buzzword in today‘s day to day life is not at all a new concept
and was there since the barter trade days.But the fact is that it has been modified, changed
and has been given a new look and thus it has come under the flood-lights. Retailing includes
all the activities in selling goods or services directly to final consumers for personal, nonbusiness use.
A retailer or retail store is any business enterprise whose sales volume comes primarily
from retailing. Any organization selling to final consumers- whether it is a manufacturer,
whole-seller, or retailer- is doing retailing. It doesn‘t matter how the goods or services are
sold ( in person, by mail, telephone, vending machine, or on the internet) or where ( in a
store, on the street, or in the consumer‘s home).
There is no doubt that the Indian retail scene is booming. A number of large corporate houses
, Tata, Raheja‘s, Piramal‘s, Goenka have already made their foray into this arena, with beauty
and health stores, supermarkets, self-service music stores, new age book stores, every-day-

low-price stores, computers and peripherals stores, office equipment stores and
home/building construction stores. India‘s retailing boom is the result of rapid globalization
and the recognition of being a very potential market by big giants and foreign companies
making the market more competitive. This has caused existing retailers to re-tailor their
strategies to suit the new landscapes.
Today Indian market is a ‗hot cake‘ in the field of retail and is enticing enough for every
retailer to eye for a bigger piece of it. When we talk about organized retailing at present it
is over 10% of country‘s GDP and around 8% of the
Employment. The trends that are driving the growth of the retail sector in India areRising incomes
Increasing consumerism in urban area
Upswing in rural consumption
Low share of organized retailing
Falling real estate prices
Retailing Format in India
Malls:
The largest form of organized retailing today, located mainly in metro cities, in proximity to
urban outskirts ranges from 60,000 square ft. to 7,00,000 square ft. and above. They lend an
ideal shopping experience with an amalgamation of product, service and entertainment, all
under a common roof. Examples include Shoppers Stop, Pyramid, and Pantaloons.
Specialty Stores:
Chains such as the Bangalore based Kids Kemp, the Mumbai books retailer Crossword,
RPG's Music World and the Times Group's music chain Planet M, are focusing on specific
market segments and have established themselves strongly in their sectors.

Discount Stores:
As the name suggests, discount stores or factory outlets, offer discounts on the MRP through
selling in bulk reaching economies of scale or excess stock left over at the season. The
product category can range from a variety of perishable/ non-perishable goods.
Department Stores:
Large stores ranging from 20000-50000 sq. ft, catering to a variety of consumer needs. It is
further classified into localized departments such as clothing, toys, home, groceries, etc.
Departmental Stores are expected to take over the apparel business from exclusive brand
showrooms.
Hyper marts/Supermarkets:
Large self-service outlets, catering to varied shopper needs are termed as Supermarkets.
These are located in or near residential high streets. These stores today contribute to 30% of
all food & grocery organized retail sales. Super Markets can further be classified in to mini
supermarkets typically 1,000 sqft to 2,000 sqft and large supermarkets ranging from of 3,500
sqft to 5,000 sq ft. having a strong focus on food & grocery and personal sales.
Convenience Stores:
These are relatively small stores 400-2,000 sq. feet located near residential areas. They stock
a limited range of high-turnover convenience products and are usually open for extended
periods during the day, seven days a week. Prices are slightly higher due to convenience
premium.
MBO’s:
Multi Brand outlets, also known as Category Killers, offer several brands across a single
product category. These usually do well in busy market places and Metros.

RETAIL MARKETING
Through the years retailing has evolved, competition has gotten stiff and therefore marketing
has become more integral in the direct selling of wares. From specialty mom-and-pop shop to
mass-merchants, the methods by which stores are getting their products into the hands of
customers are evolving. Because customers have more choices, stores have to reach them
with advertising, entice them with promotions, and secure them with branding—hence the
ever-growing need for marketing in retail outlets.
Advertising
There are two main functions of advertisements: to sell more products, and to inform the
customer. Through newspaper, TV, radio and internet advertisements, retailers can inform
their customers of the sales, promotions and in-store events. Moreover, since the media is
flooded with advertisements, the ability to create a more eye-catching or attention-grabbing
ad directly influences sales. Stores that advertise--as opposed to those that don‘t--are kept at
the top of their potential shoppers‘ mind, which can produce sales in the short and long term.
SOMENATH GHOSH (PGDM 2012-14)
23. P a g e | 23
In-Store Promotions
Stores use promotions to prompt impulse buying behavior. A shopper may not intend to buy
a product, but if there is a promotion, there is an incentive for immediate action. For example,
a shopper may not need another dress shirt, but might still buy one if it is on sale.
Additionally, promotions can prompt consumers to recall a product and thus instigate a
purchase. Retailers also use promotional periods-- corresponding with national holidays or
well-know sales times--to sell off the previous season‘s merchandise. Promotional periods
spike sales, and are a way retailers can reduce the loss of unsold inventory.
In-Store Atmosphere and Customer Relations
Store design and consumer relationship marketing (CRM) directly affected the way
customers purchase and retain goods. Things like the atmosphere, music, store layout, sales
help, and post-purchase support can influence things like shopping time (the longer they
shop, the more likely they are to buy), and how gratified they feel with their purchase. The
more content a buyer is with their shopping experience, the more likely they are to buy
merchandise, and the less likely they are to return it.
Branding Retail Outlets
It is necessary for retailers to develop their brand in order to stand out amongst the many
other stores. With local boutiques, specialty stores, department stores, mass-merchants and
internet stores, customers have more choices when it comes to buying. There is competition
within each category, and competition between categories. For example, a local boutique
selling dress shirts is competing with other local boutiques, and also with the mass-merchant
who might be selling dress shirts at a cheaper price. It is therefore necessary for the boutique
to create a brand position that a customer can identify with, to keep them loyal.
Private Labelling
Solidifying a retail brand‘s private label is the apex of the retail marketing evolution--and the
most recent trend in high-end retailing. This is not a new concept for low- to mid-priced retail
outlets, as everything from food to raincoats have been put under their brand's name. But
what's new is stores that build their brand to the point where they can sell merchandise at a
premium price. Doing so is more cost effective: they can reduce the costs associated with
buying other brand names, source cheaper goods from private manufacturers and reap higher
profits. As an added bonus, stores benefit from consumer loyalty to their stores and their
products.

Salespeople
Personal selling is a more direct approach to marketing. Retailers that sell higher-end
products or promote themselves as tops in service often employ more active sales personal.
Companies that sell higher-end products often have to rely on salespeople to help customers
understand the benefits of paying more for better value. Salespeople can also make add-on or
cross-sales for more revenue.

What is ATL & BTL?
Above the line (ATL):
ATL refers to promotional activities done at macro level. It is done at national, regional or at
bigger territory level and mass audience is covered in this type of promotion. A brand image
is created about the company and its product. Media such as television,
cinema,radio,newspaper, and magazines are used to create an impact about the company and
its product. ATL communication is more of conventional in nature.

B) “CATCHMENT AREA ANALYSIS FOR NEW STORE
ESTABLISHMENT IN SERAMPUR (HOOGHLY)”
Catchment analysis
Describes a process for analysing information about buyers living in a particular location‘s
main catchment area and relating this to the area profile data for that area. The purpose of this
analysis is to assess the degree of success, or not, which a location has had in penetrating the
attendance or visitor potential of its catchment area as a whole and of each postal sector
within it.
Purposes of catchment area analysis:
The essential purposes of catchment area analysis are to help
guide a location in the selection of particular postal sectors on which to focus
Special marketing activity
Evaluate, subsequently, the impact made by this special marketing activitythe analysis
can be of particular value in identifying sectors where actual sales or Visitor
penetration is low but where potential is shown to be high. An assessment should then
be made of the factors that might be causing this. These factors might be:
Drive-time distance from the store
Good access by public transport,
A low level of travel into the city /town for shopping, work or leisure another
City/town being preferred
Competition from other stores which have greater appeal or are moreaccessible
The characteristics of the population for example age, social grade, higherEducational
qualifications
Relatively low levels of family income
Limited potential for frequent purchasing because of a lack of appropriate stores for
purchasing.

Scope of the study
The study made by the researcher helps to provide information relating to the geographic,
demographic and economic features of the respondents in and around Serampur area. The
findings and suggestions given by the researcher at the end of the study will be helpful for the
organization in making market planning and so enrich the Establish of the Serampur Big
Bazaar.

How to carry out the analysis
1) Define the catchment area for the venue
The catchment area would be that to which the store‘s marketing activity is mainly
directed.
This area would probably have more than 80% of identified customers. The
Percentage would be unlikely to reach much more than 90% because the full
Population will include people whose usual address will be outside the catchment
area. They will be students, friends and relatives visiting residents of the area and
business visitors.
The method for defining the catchment area for a venue has three stages:
Obtain a standard area profile report, which includes all postal sectors
Within a 30-minute drive-time
Analyse sales data to identify other postal sectors with a significant number of
customers
Identify other postal sectors to be included in the catchment area.
2) Obtain a profile report for the defined catchment area
This report will give a similar type of information to that in the drive-time area profile report.
The percentage figure for each data item in the catchment area report is accompanied by an
index figure which compares the postal sector percentage for that item with the
corresponding percentage level for the item in the Defined Area Overview Report on the
catchment area. For the store‘s customer percentages these are the market potential indices
which identify the sectors with a high (or average, or low) percentage of potential customers.
The indices for each of the other data items in the report (for example social grade) will
indicate the probable reasons for the variations between sectors in levels of potential.
SOMENATH GHOSH (PGDM 2012-14)
29. P a g e | 29
3) List the postal sectors in the catchment area
Show the number of customers in each postal sector and alongside this show the number of
potential customers in that sector. This may either be done in house or, for a fee, by one of
the regional marketing/ development agencies.
4) Create a set of sales penetration indices
An assessment can then be made of the extent to which the store has succeeded, or not, in
attracting the potential customers living in each postal sector or in the catchment area as a
whole.
There are two ways in which this can be done:
i)
Relating numbers of buyers to potential customers
The number of buyers in each postal sector would be related to the number of
potential customers in that sector to show the number of buyers per 100 potential
customers.
ii)
Relating percentages of ticket buyers to potential attenders
The other way of assessing the degree of sales penetration is first to calculate for
Each postal sector its percentage share of:
the total number of buyers in the defined catchment area
the total number of potential customers in the defined catchment area
The sales penetration index for each postal sector is calculated by dividing that sector‘s
percentage share of all buyers in the catchment area by the overall percentage of potential
customers for the area.
5) Relate the market potential indices to the sales penetration indices
This will show:
• Sectors of high market potential and high sales penetration
• Sectors of high market potential but with only average or below average sales
penetration
• Sectors of average potential but below average sales penetration
• Sectors with low potential and low sales penetration

The indices for the other data items in the catchment area report should help identify the
demographic and other factors which are likely to have influenced the variations between
sectors in the numbers of potential customers and in the levels of sales penetration.
How to use the analysis
In the light of the process and analysis described above and, where possible, some form of
market research, action may be considered for attracting more people from particular postal
sectors. Although in some cases it may be unlikely that any significant improvement can be
made within the resources available or without access to special additional funds for
customer development etc. It is important to recognize that the numbers of potential arts
customers in each
Postal sector should not be regarded as absolute targets that a local store should expect to
achieve. The numbers and percentages are intended to reflect the propensity to attend
particular type of performance or to visit store. They represent the number of adults who
might possibly be interested in visiting a retail store.- but not necessarily within the defined
area. Their purpose essentially is to show the differences between sectors in levels of
potential Customers.

SOURCES OF DATA
There are two types of data namely primary data and secondary data.
Primary Data
Primary data refers to those data that are collected newly and they are not used earlier. The
researcher has to gather the primary data freshly for the specific study undertaken by him.
The primary data can be collected by three methods namely observation method,
experimentation method and survey method. Survey research is the systematic gathering of
data from respondents through questionnaires.
Secondary Data
The secondary data refers to those data which were gathered for some other purpose and are
already available in the firm‘s internal records and commercial, trade or government
publications.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
The primary data required for this study is collected through schedules. The schedule method
is also like the collection of data through questionnaire, with little difference which lies in the
fact that questions are being filled in by the enumerators according to the replies of the
respondents for the questions.

Limitation of the study
It was quit unbalancing for me when I interviewed people. The difficulties I faced in doing so
were Sometime the customers are hesitant to disclose their information‘s regarding monthly
expenditure, address etc.
Respondent doesn‘t not fill up the questionnaires correctly as per as requirement.
Most respondent were didn‘t like to spent time in filling the questionnaire as it was
immaterial to them.
Getting accurate response from the respondents is very difficult due to their inherent
problems.
