Retail industry in India

Retailing in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for 14 to 15
percent of its GDP. The Indian retail market is estimated to
be US$450 billion and one of the top five retail markets in the world by
economic value. India is one of the fastest growing retail markets in the world,
with 1.2 billion people.
India's retailing industry is essentially owner manned small shops. In 2010,
larger format convenience stores and supermarkets accounted for about 4
percent of the industry, and these were present only in large urban centers.
India's retail and logistics industry employs about 40 million Indians (3.3% of
Indian population).
Until 2011, Indian central government denied foreign direct investment (FDI) in
multi-brand retail, forbidding foreign groups from any ownership in
supermarkets, convenience stores or any retail outlets. Even single-brand retail
was limited to 51% ownership and a bureaucratic process.
In November 2011, India's central government announced retail reforms for
both multi-brand stores and single-brand stores. These market reforms paved
the way for retail innovation and competition with multi-brand retailers such
as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco, as well single brand majors such
as IKEA,Nike, and Apple. The announcement sparked intense activism, both in
opposition and in support of the reforms. In December 2011, under pressure
from the opposition, Indian government placed the retail reforms on hold till it
reaches a consensus.
In January 2012, India approved reforms for single-brand stores welcoming
anyone in the world to innovate in Indian retail market with 100% ownership,
but imposed the requirement that the single brand retailer source 30 percent
of its goods from India. Indian government continues the hold on retail reforms
for multi-brand stores. June 2012, IKEA announced it has applied for
permission to invest $1.9 billion in India and set up 25 retail stores. Fitch
believes that the 30 percent requirement is likely to significantly delay if not
prevent most single brand majors from Europe, USA and Japan from opening
stores and creating associated jobs in India.
On 14 September 2012, the government of India announced the opening of FDI
in multi brand retail, subject to approvals by individual states.This decision has
been welcomed by economists and the markets, however has caused a
massive upheaval in India's delicate governance structure.
Growth of Retail industry in India

This graph shows the growth of retail industry in India starting from
2006- 2016. When reliance came into the organized retail there was
very few corporate backed retail giants Like BATA. After 2006 when
reliance came into this sector other players also came into existence
eg:- Big Bazar, vishal mega-mart, subhiksha.

Contribution of retail industry

in Indian GDP is 28% approx.

Marketing Strategies of RELIANCE MART

RELIANCE RETAIL LTD has launched its much-awaited hypermarket

format (which also happens to be India’s largest hypermarket) called
“Reliance Mart” at Iscon Mall, SG Highway, Ahmadabad on August 15.
After the successful launch of the supermarket format ”Reliance
Fresh” and the consumer electronics concept mega store “Reliance
Digital”, the hypermarket is the third retail format launched by
Reliance Retail.

Spread across 165,000 square feet of shopping area, Reliance Mart

will provide the shoppers a never-before-experienced shopping
delight. The hypermarket will carry a range of over 95,000 products
catering to the entire family. Shoppers will have the option to choose
from a wide array of products in every category ranging from fresh
produce, food & grocery, home care products, apparel and
accessories, non-food FMCG products, consumer durables and IT,
automotive accessories, lifestyle products, footwear and much more.

Commenting on the launch, Shri. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and

Managing Director, Reliance Industries Ltd, said: “Organized retail has
the potential to trigger socio-economic transformation on an
unprecedented scale in our country and will bring about enormous
spin-off benefits to the Indian economy and its various constituents”.

“The launch of Reliance Mart is yet another step by Reliance Retail

towards providing international shopping experience to all our
customers at unmatched affordability, guaranteed quality and choice
of products and services. Reliance Mart marks the achievement of
another milestone in our effort to unleash a retail revolution in India.”
Shri Ambani added.

Reliance Mart offers some unique services to the shoppers like

tailoring, shoe repair, watch repair, a photo shop, gift services and
laundry services, all within the store. The store also houses its own
fresh bakery, serving “hot, off-the-oven” bread and bread products
throughout the day and local savories, an ice-cream train for the kids,
a chakki, ready-made batter and loose tea and pickle for the
housewives. Reliance Mart will also sell fine jewelry and fashion
jewelry as part of its lifestyle section.
Introduction to Retailing sector

Retailing sector of India can be split into two segments. They are the
informal and the formal retailing sector. The informal retailing sector
is comprised of small retailers. For this sector, it is very difficult to
implement the tax laws. There is widespread tax evasion. It is also
cumbersome to regulate the labor laws in this sector. As far as the
formal retailing sector is concerned, it is comprised of large retailers.
Stringent tax and labor laws are implemented in this sector.

If the retail industry is divided on the basis of retail formats then it can
be split into the modern format retailers and the traditional format
retailers. The modern format retailers comprise of the supermarkets,
Hypermarkets, Departmental Stores, Specialty Chains and company
owned and operated retail stores

The traditional format retailers comprise of Kiranas, Kiosks, Street

Markets and the multiple brand outlets. The retail industry can also be
subdivided into the organized and the unorganized sector. The
organized retail sector occupies about 3% of the aggregate retail
industry in India.
Size and contribution of the retail industry in India

In terms of value, the Indian Retail industry is worth $300 billion.

India retail industry is the largest industry in India, with an
employment of around 8%. Its contribution to the Gross Domestic
Product is about 10%, the highest compared to all other Indian
Industries. The retail sector has also contributed to 8% of the
employment of the country. The organized retail sector is expected to
triple its size by 2010. The food and grocery retail sector is expected
to multiply five times in the same time frame. The major reason
behind the low participation in the Indian retail sector is the need for
lumpy investments that cannot match up their break even points. The
government policies are being revised from time to time to attract
investmentsin this sector.

The Indian Retail Industry — Sky is the limit

In terms of the retail development index India ranks fifth. In Asia it
occupies the second position, next to China. Among all the global
markets, the Indian retail market is the most expanding. This is owing
to absence in restriction at the entry level. So the large foreign
companies can reap the benefits of economies scale by entering the
green retail fields of India. There are many reasons why the retail
industry in India can reach the zenith.

Firstly, the organized retail sector in India has a very low contribution
to the entire retail sector in the country. Hence there is ample scope for
the new players to achieve success in the backdrop of soaring
disposable income of the upcoming generation. Secondly, not only
have the incomes increased but there has been a sea change in the
preferences of the consumers. These factors have acted as a stimulus
for the ushering of foreign players retailing in apparels, accessories,
electronic appliances etc. Large shopping malls have already
mushroomed in the metropolitan cities. There still lies untapped
potential in the Indian Retail Market.
The size of retail industry in an economy depends on many factors and
the level of consumer spending is the most important among these
factors. The retail sector in India has grown by leaps and bounds in the
last five years. The reason behind this growth has been the synergy of
many propellants. However the growth is not always genuine as there
are exaggerations as well. But these exaggerations also have benefits
since they given a feel of growing competition all around. Secondly the
present situation is just a depiction of nascent stage. The future of the
trajectory may not be as steep as it is now or may be even slope
downward. 'What will be the future size of the retail industry' is the
mind boggling question. Another moot point that will gain importance
in due time concerns the future of the unorganized retail market which
constitute a significant proportion of the whole industry. The retail
stores have proved to be a vantage point for the customers. This implies
that the small farmers who used to sell their product in the sabji-mandis
and on roadsides are going to lose a significant market share as they
can't employ the two profit maximizes-economies of scale and
economies of scope.

Retailing in India: the present scenario

The present value of the Indian retail market is estimated by the India
Retail Report to be around Rs. 12, 00,000 crore($270 billion) and the
annual growth rate is 5.7 percent. Retail market for food and grocery
with a worth of Rs. 7, 43,900 crore is the largest of the different types
of retail industries present in India. Furthermore around 15 million
retail outlets help India win the crown of having the highest retail outlet
density in the world. The contribution of retail sector to GDP has been
manifested below:

Country Retail Sector's share

in GDP (in %)
India 10
USA 10
China 8
Brazil 6

As can be clearly seen, retailing in India is superior to those of its

contenders. Retail sector is a sunrise industry in India and the prospect
for growth is simply huge. There are many factors that have stimulated
the rise of the shopping centers and multiplex-malls in a jiffy. Some of
them can be listed as follows:
❖ Rise in the purchasing power of Indians- the rise in the per
capita income in the last few years has been magnificent. This has
led to the generation of insatiable wants of the upper and middle
class. The demand of new as well as second hand durables has
risen throughout the country thus providing the incentive for
taking up retailing.

❖ Favorable to farmers- retailing has helped in removing the

middlemen and has thus enhanced the remuneration to farmers.
This is a new revolution in the agricultural sector in India and will
go a long way in amending the condition of agriculture, a major
concern among policy makers.
❖ Use of credit- a typical Indian is most conversant with using
credit cards than carrying money. These have led to a shift of the
consumer base towards supermarkets and make the payments in
the form of credit.
❖ Comfortable Atmosphere- a visit to a retail store appears to be
more soothing for the generation-Y. People and kids prefer to
shop in an air conditioned a tech savvy manner.
The retail industry is the second largest employer in India. It
currently employs about 7 percent of the total labor force in India.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's recent statement “salaries
ought not to be legislated” is a welcome move as most of the
organized retail is in private hands. However only about 4.6% of
 the total retail trade is in organized sector. It generates about
Rs.55, 000 crore ($12.4 billion). The major and minor players
desperately need to work hard in this direction so that next time
the figures look more decent. The government must also make an
attempt to ameliorate the situation as political instability and
infrastructure namely power and roads are the major roadblocks
in the path of smooth functioning of the market.

Retail sectors in neighboring countries:

China - The total sales from retail market in China reached US$755
billion in 2005. However organized retailing in China accounts for only
20% of it. Also the fragmentation of China's retail market is so high
that top 100 retailers make up for only 10.5% of the total market. The
registered sales of department stores grew by 25.7% and that of
convenience stores grew by 36.5% in 2005. The Chinese retail market
is expected to reach new highs as the population of strong middle class
is expected to double by 2020 and mergers and acquisitions among
retailers are3 going in great guns. The WTO restrictions are also
expected to have a favorable impact on its retail sector.

Japan - total annual sales for the Japanese retail industry for 2003
amounted to JPY 133,273 billion. Japan had 1.2 million retail
establishments in June 2004 and there were 42,738 specialty
superstores. Between 2002 and 2004 annual sales per store increased
by 3.8%. The growth was mainly driven by the grocery superstores but
the number of superstores specializing in clothes gradually came down.
The organized retail sector in Japan couldn't perform at its full
efficiency because of collapse of the 'bubble economy' in the early 90s.

Retail Distribution in India

The distribution sector bridges the gap between the producer and
consumer and thus forms a crucial link. Distribution of retail in India
has multiple dimensions. Its uniformity is difficult to decide and easy
to argue. Distribution in any sector is usually measured by the reach
of its products to people. But in case of the retail sector in India it also
implies the dispersion among the organized and unorganized spheres.
The question of distribution hovers mainly around the intentions of
private players to reach out to the less rich people. But the point that
has caught the public eye recently is the ambiguous mood of the
beneficiaries and the chauvinist government that produces civil
service.

Propagation of the retail sector:

The expansion of the retailing in India has been magnificent
especially after the advent of liberalization and the abolition of
licensing. A comparative study with other developed countries
indicates that the retail sector has achieved a fantastic breakthrough
in the Indian economy. India topped the A.T. Kearney's Global Retail
Index in both 2005 and 2006as can be seen below:
The GRDI Score as calculated by A.T. Kearney is a weighted average
of market attractiveness, market saturation, country risk and time
pressure. India had a GRDI score of 100 in both 2005 and 2006.
Implying market potential and attractiveness. As the graph clearly
depicts, India's contenders like Russia and China are nowhere in
competition. This result has been obtained mainly because of a higher
APC (Average Propensity to consume) of the Indian people.
According to IMF, India has a APC of more than 60% while the
corresponding figure for Japan is 57% and China is 39%. Also
Indians tend to exhaust 40% of their consumer spending on groceries
(foodstuffs). These figures are intensified by the fact that Indians
have special preference for lifestyle products and they feel
comfortable in buying against credit as the credit card and mortgage
market has been growing by more than 30%.

We present the results from another survey below in order to

strengthen our findings.

Availability of Retail Stores

 Country Number of stores
per 1,000 people
India 22
Japan 10
USA 38

The above table reinforces our view that India has done a great job in
retailing. One noteworthy point here is that Japan in spite of being
one of the most densely populated countries has fared poorly than
India. But this euphoria loses its charm if we compare the percentage
of organized retail in the total value generated by the retailing sector.

According to international
standards, a retail store is
nominated as organized only
when it features more than
10 employees. The above
chart clearly portrays the
miserable condition of
India's organized retail A forecast of 40% annual growth in the
organized retail sector seems sound. The number of shopping malls
in India has grown from 1 in 2001 to 100 in 2005 but still more effort
is needed to turn the predictions into reality.
Studies have further showed that non-urban areas account for only
about 15% of organized retailing So it is high time that the retail
industries pay importance to diversification and reach out to non-
urban markets. If they remain confined to the metropolis then they
will soon hit a ceiling and will be able to grow no more. But at the
same time they must realize that the rustic people are sceptic about
the urbane lifestyle habits. The mega retail players will have to drop
their policy of full extraction of consumer surplus and will have to
employ the local people to overcome the myth that entry of a branded
retail will displace the millions of traders, shopkeepers and hawkers.
Protests must be welcomed and meetings encouraged makinglife
easier.
Retail markets in Germany, South Africa and many other countries
allow 100% foreign investment in retail. This has helped in setting up
of cash and in creating wholesale markets. However, in India, only
51% FDI is allowed in single-brand retail and that too with prior
approval. In case of multi-brand retail, FDI is completely prohibited.
This is a perfect beginning but foreign investment should be gradually
liberalized to modernize farming and help farmers scale up.
Moreover, restricting FDI for protecting mom-and-pop stores seems
unjustifiable since Tata, Reliance and Bharti have already made a
foray in the sector.

Components of Retail Sector

The major components of the retail sector are:

Food and Grocery, Fast Moving Consumer Goods

(FMCGs), Consumer Durables, Apparel, Footwear and leather,
Watches, Jewellery, andHealth and Beauty

The anatomy of the retail market has shown that the clothing and
textiles constitutes 39 per cent of the organised retail pie, followed by
food and grocery, which accounts for 11 percent of the total retail
market.

However, according to the survey conducted by KPMG for Federation

of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), among these,
the food and grocery is expected to witness the fastest growth followed
by clothing as the second-fastest growing segment.
Marketing Strategies

Marketing strategy is a method of focusing an organization's energies

and resources on a course of action which can lead to increased sales
and dominance of a targeted market niche. A marketing strategy
combines product development, promotion, distribution, pricing,
relationship management and other elements; identifies the firm's
marketing goals, and explains how they will be achieved, ideally
within a stated timeframe. Marketing strategy determines the choice
of target market segments, positioning, marketing mix, and allocation
of resources. It is most effective when it is an integral component
defining how the organization will successfully engage customers,
prospects, and competitors in the market arena. Corporate strategies,
corporate missions, and corporate goals. As the customer constitutes
the source of a company's revenue, marketing strategy is closely
linked with sales.

Types of strategies

Marketing strategies may differ depending on the unique situation of

the individual business. However there are a number of ways of
categorizing some generic strategies. A brief description of the most
common categorizing schemes is presented below:

• Strategies based on market dominance - In this scheme, firms

are classified based on their market share or dominance of an
 industry. Typically there are four types of market dominance
strategies:
o Leader
o Challenger
o Follower
o Nicher
• Porter generic strategies - strategy on the dimensions of
strategic scope and strategic strength. Strategic scope refers to the
market penetration while strategic strength refers to the firm’s
sustainable competitive advantage. The generic strategy
framework (porter 1984) comprises two alternatives each with
two alternative scopes. These are Differentiation and low-cost
leadership each with a dimension of Focus-broad or narrow.
o Product differentiation
o Market segmentation

• Innovation strategies - This deals with the firm's rate of the new
product development and business model innovation. It asks
whether the company is on the cutting edge of technology and
business innovation. There are three types:
o Pioneers
o Close followers
o Late followers
 • Growth strategies - In this scheme we ask the question, “How
should the firm grow?”There are a number of different ways of
answering that question, but the most common gives four
answers:
o Horizontal integration
o Vertical integration
o Diversification
o Intensification

Marketing Strategies of RELIANCE MART

RELIANCE RETAIL LTD has launched its much-awaited

hypermarket format (which also happens to be India’s largest
hypermarket) called “Reliance Mart” at Iscon Mall, SG Highway,
Ahmadabad on August 15. After the successful launch of the
supermarket format ”Reliance Fresh” and the consumer electronics

ShriAmbani added.

Reliance Mart offers some unique services to the shoppers like

tailoring, shoe repair, watch repair, a photo shop, gift services and

fresh bakery, serving “hot, off-the-oven” bread and bread products
throughout the day and local savories, an ice-cream train for the kids, a
chakki, ready-made batter and loose tea and pickle for the
housewives. Reliance Mart will also sell fine jewelry and fashion
jewelry as part of its lifestyle section.
Reliance Mart will also house a health and wellness store providing
pharmaceutical drugs and other wellness products. For the shopper’s
convenience, the store has a cafeteria providing quality food and
beverages for ready consumption, an ATM machine and a consumer
service/membership desk to provide the customer a truly international
shopping experience.

The hypermarket also launched a host of Reliance’s own brands in

select categories with superior quality and affordable prices like “First
Class”, “Network, Netplay, Team Spirit” and Sparsh in Men’s and
Women’s Formal / Casual and Ethnic wear, “DNM- X” in the jeans
category for men and women, “Panda” for kids clothing and “ Grip” in
the luggage section. The footwear category will carry “Zig” in formal
wear. “Hi Attitude” for semi -formal, “Tosco” for party wear and
“Monza” for the sports enthusiast. There are many products that will
be exclusively available in Reliance Mart stores only.

Reliance Mart, with 61 check-out counters has for the first time in India
introduced the Mobile POS system for faster check outs. This is aimed
at reducing customer wait-time. The store planning, atmospherics and
layout has been designed specifically to provide “a complete solution”
to the customer. Reliance Mart will remain open from 10:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m., seven days a week. The store has over 400 highly skilled
and trained customer sales representatives. Reliance Mart will
continue to offer all its customers Reliance One, a common
membership and loyalty program across all its formats, which follows
the philosophy of ‘Earn Anywhere, Spend Anywhere’. Reliance Mart
will also provide easy and attractive finance options, including 0%
financing for your purchases on select products. Reliance Retail plans
to have a pan-India presence by opening over 30 Reliance Mart
hypermarkets this year and over 500 by the end of 2010.

Services Offered
It offers some unique services to the shoppers like tailoring, shoe
repair, watch repair, a photo shop, gifting services and laundry
services all within the store under one roof and also it has its own
bakery shop.
Reliance Mart will also provide easy and attractive finance options,
including zero per cent financing for the purchases on select products.
Reliance Mart will continue to offer all its customers Reliance One, a
common membership and loyalty programme across all its formats,
which follows the philosophy of 'Earn Anywhere, Spend Anywhere'.

Future Plans
The next two hypermarkets are to be opened in Jamnagar in Gujarat
and in the NCR by next month with plans to open 30 such marts by
the year. Raghu Pillai, President and CEO (operations and strategy),
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) said the company is planning to set
up 500 hypermarkets across 784 towns by 2010.
Strategy
The hypermarket would be selling the products on EDLP (every day
low price) basis at prices 15-20 percent lower than market prices.
In order to grow faster and better in local markets with higher
margins, it has focused largely on local brands instead of national
brands or private labels. Local brands include
IndubenKhakrawala’sNamkeens, LijjatPapad, WaghBakri and
Madhur (spices brand). This is in addition to 100 private labels that
Reliance plans to display. Company’s Sources says that the share of
regional brands in the hyper marts would be over 10%.

Strengths
Keeping local brands at the outlets is more profitable and also makes
the supply chain more efficient. Being a bulk purchaser, Reliance
Mart can offer products at very low prices. Also taking into
consideration the local brands, the products at the outlets would be
easily acceptable by the customers. And there would be
comparatively less efforts needed by the marketer to explain the
product to the consumers.
Weaknesses
In some cases, few regional brands strongly liked by the consumers
offer lower margins than that offered by the national brands. It has to
face a tough competition by big shopping malls i.e. Big Bazaar,
Spencer Hyper, Vishal Mega Mart and the upcoming Wall Mart.
Advertisement & promotion:-

Because of having very powerful brand image reliance mart don’t

invest on digital media promotion. They use on print media only for
make customer aware about their offers & loyalty programs. They

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This chapter brings out the review of relevant literature to the study. Review of
literature is necessary to have a proper knowledge on the subject. It helps in
proper understanding of the research work done by academicians and industry
people in the relevant field of study. Review of literature helps in devising a
proper framework to structure the research and define the research problem.
It avoids the chance of unnecessary duplication of efforts in the same
direction. So every research should be preceded by an in-depth review of
related literature as it familiarizes the researcher with the studies carried out
by other people in the same area, the methods adopted by them, their results
and the recommendations for further research. The literature review in this
study tries to present the inputs from both theoretical as well as empirical
perspectives. Retailing encompasses business activities in selling goods and
services to consumers for their personal, family or household consumption.
Every sale to the final consumer ranging from cars to clothes to movie tickets
to meals at restaurants is a part of retailing. It’s the last stage in the
distribution process. Retailing today is at a fascinating crossroads. Sales of
some of the leading companies in organized retailing are well ahead of some
manufacturing giants. Ex.- Sales of Wal-Mart is ahead of General Motors,
ExxonMobil. While retail sales remains at the highest peak in the history on
one hand, the retailers face numerous challenges on the other (Evans &
Berman, 2007).

Traditional retailing or unorganized retailing is a part of the Indian society since

generations. Traditional retailing signifies the small family run stores in our
neighborhood. These stores sell products in small quantities and as consumers
we buy our daily need items several times in a month from them. They are also
known as ‘kirana’ or ‘mom and pop ‘stores which sell daily need items like rice,
wheat, pulses, flour, spices, ghee, edible oils, snacks, jam, jelly, milk,
vegetables, fruits, and many such items. They are small in size due to which
they do not stock items in large quantities. Their share is around 96% in the
Indian retail market.
Objectives of Study

the service offered by them. The study also identifies the attitudes and
preference of the consumers. The study also focused on Media through
which the product reaches the consumers this project helped us in
knowing the market practically.
 Research Methodology

Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research

problem. When we talk to research methodology we not only talk of
research methods but also consider the logic behind the method we
use in the context of our research results are capable of being
evaluated either by researcher himself or by other.

The purpose of this section is to describe the methodology carried out

to complete the work. The methodology plays a dominant role in any
research work. The effectiveness of any research work depends upon
the correctness and effectiveness of the research methodology.

This section deals with research design used, data collection, methods
used and sampling methods used.

Research design

A research design specifies the methods and procedures for conducting

a particular research.

According to Ker linger “Research design is a plan, structure and

strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answers to research
questions and have to control variance.”
 Our research design

We have chosen descriptive research design for our study because we

have been provided with the project about the marketing strategies
adopted by Reliance Mart.

To accomplish the predefined objectives of the research, descriptive

research design is used to collect the require information from the
sources. It’s a fact finding approach generalizing a cross sectional study
of the present situation.

Designing the questionnaire

Structured questionnaires and observation method have been used to

conduct the research.

Sampling method

Specific sampling method was used to collect the data from the
respondents because sample size is large. Customers & employees of
Reliance Mart were selected for the survey.

Sampling unit

The data was collected from the Customers & employees by

questionnaire and observation method in the Reliance Mart (Crown
Interiors Mall) & Vishal mega mart (sec-31.faridabad)
Sample size

The data were collected from:

➢ 50 customers
➢ 50 employees

Data collection:

There are two major methods of data collection:

➢ Primary data
➢ Secondary data

In my research study I have used both primary as well as secondary

data collection method. For primary data observation method is used,
and for secondary data the sources used are books, journals, magazines
and Internet.

DATA COLLECTION SOURCES

PRIMARY SOURCE:- Primary data collection is used when

there is need for collecting first hand data. In such cases, no adequate
and usable data is available to the researcher.The following data have
been collected by using following primary sources.
 1. QUESTIONAIRE
2. COLLECTION OF DATA DIRECTLY FROM THE
EMPLOYEES
3. OBSERVATION
4. INTERVIEW
(1) TELEPHONE INTERVIEW
(2) GROUP INTERVIEW

SECONDARY SOURCES:-Secondary data collection is

used where adequate and usable data is available to researcher. Primary
data collection by one person may become secondary data for
another.The following secondary sources have been used in collecting
information about the project.

1. MAGAZINES
2. NEWSPAPERS
3. WEBSITES
 CRM POLICY OF RELIANCE MART
CRM policy of reliance mart can be divided into four major parts,
namely;
1) Customer loyalty
2) Customer retention
3) Customer communication
4) Customer gratification

There exists a blanket customer relationship programs called the

reliance one membership program for the purpose of maintaining
customer loyalty. The membership program is a very simple one where
a willing customer is required to fill a form giving personal information
and he gets a temporary card which will be made permanent after six
months.
On each purchase of Rs. 100 the customer gets one redeemable point
on the production of card at billing counter. The collected points can
be redeemed in form of discounts on future purchases on demand of the
customer.
The customers also get the opportunity of availing four different kinds
of insurance on the payment of a nominal fee. For example a customer
can get an accidental death insurance of Rs. six lacks on the payment
of Rs. 400 only.
Other forms of insurances are disability, hospitalization and home
insurances.
The members of reliance one get the opportunity of taking part and
winning prizes by the way of lucky draws on regular intervals.

Customer retention policy implementation is at the zonal level.

Generally each state is regarded as a zone and the offers and discounts
in a zone are not available in other zones. Such policy helps reliance
retail to understand and capture the local markets better.
The products which show improvement due to offers and discounts on
them are repeated with these offers again so as to retain the sales of the
customers who bought it the last time.
Also such the day’s best offers are constantly announced in the store
making the regular customers aware about them.
Maintaining a good store ambiance is also a part of customer retention
policy of reliance retail. Clean and hygienic environment with properly
and well spaced products along with a uniform color theme attracts the
existing customers to the store again and again.
A fast billing system and good and easy grievance handling system
which can be accessed thru customer service desk and company
website ensures that customers feel satisfied with the store
management. Less harassment to customers means better customer
retention.
Communication to existing customers takes the form of sums and e-
mails, generally sent to reliance one members. They get information
about ongoing offers and also information and latest news about their
nearest stores and the company in general.
Another source of customer database is the information collected
during the organizing of special events in the stores. Customers
participating in such events provide their contact information which are
also used in form of database for communication purposes.
Thank you and festive cards on special occasions are an innovative way
of communicating with the customers.
Trained salespersons make customer gratification very easy. A simple
thank you with a smile goes a long way for the store to keep the
customers happy.
The special events organized by the stores across India are also a way
to gratify the customers by allowing them to play and win prizes.
Gift vouchers and discount coupons are an attraction for the customers
and give them the feel that the store cares about them and their money.
Local customers many a times make limited personal contacts with the
store staff just like that made at a kirana store and help the store to some
extent to maintain a relationship with the customers.
The implementation of the policies brings out certain limitations in
them. Few major ones are as follows
The personal contact numbers of reliance one members are open to tele
marketing calls from various marketers as they leak out of the reliance
retail’s database, causing unnecessary harassment to customers.
The customer communication policy is less followed in small towns
and cities and is more concentrated towards the metro cities.
There is a common CRM policy for both reliance fresh and mart. This
should not be the case as both the stores offer different kinds of
merchandize and generally attract different kinds of customers.

Reliance retail generally delays the processing of permanent

membership cards to those customers who have not paid for such a
card. Customers have been waiting for over three months for their card.
Those who have paid the nominal fee of Rs. 50 get their permanent card
within 15 days but the rest who have optioned not to pay the fees do
not receive the card until too late.
Unmanned billing counters create long queues at the open counters.
This creates impatiens in the customers as they expect faster billing at
the stores and do not want to stand with too much of goods held in their
hands while billing.

INDIAN CONSUMERISM

The lifestyle and profile of the Indian consumer is going through a rapid
transformation. The population of India is young, energetic and full of
enthusiasm. 50% of the Indian population is under the age of 25. There
has been a transition from price consideration to quality and design, as
the focus of the customer has changed. The upper and middle- class
population of today needs a feel good experience even if they have to
spend a little more for that. People are moving towards luxury and want
to experiment with fashion and technology. There is an increasing need
of better apparels, cars, mobile phones and consumer durables.
The food & grocery, clothing, consumer durables and books & music
sectors are the major retail sectors. However, unorganized small outlets
largely control the sector. Hence there is tremendous potential for the
organized sector in various formats, such as hypermarkets,
supermarkets, specialty stores, category killers and discount chains.

FINDINGS

1. The choice of a store location has a profound effect on the entire

business life of a retail operation. A bad choice may all but
guarantee failure, a good choice, and success.
2. Choosing a retail location is, at best, a risky undertaking.
Considering the consequences of choosing a location that proves
to be unsuitable, it pays to get as much assistance as possible.
According to a survey more than 60% of the customer prefers to
shop in a retail store which is easily accessible to them.
3. Advertising plays a very important role in achieving growth for
any retail company. This is evident from the fact that Advertising
by Retail Industry registered a rise of 14 percent during January -
May 2009 over January - May 2008.
4. The right location, trained manpower, software assistance,
product with a distinct differentiation, a strong value proposition,
efficient supply chain management - these are the factors that
influence the success of a retail outlet. With competition in this
segment increasing, differentiation and a strong value proposition
assume significance. Retail chains are realizing that they cannot
be another ‘me-too’ store. The differentiation today among the 5-
6 retail chains has come through private labels, which in some
cases account for as much as 70 per cent of the total merchandise
in the outlet.
5. Variety offered by any retail store is of very much important to
attract all type of customers in the stores. A large variety of
products caters to each segment of customers.
6. Shopping experience within a store also has a great impact on
selecting a product from a particular retail store. Overall
ambience includes infrastructure facilities provided by the store
 such as air conditioners, lighting etc.
Pricing is in fact a dramatic controller of at least 3 key strategic
elements to any company's success: Company’s image, the product
and services company sells and consumer behavior. The Importance
of Pricing their Products' will give them an insight into developing
appropriate costing methods and the impact of getting it wrong in
today's competitive creative market. This topic should be of interest to
anyone who is unsure if they are getting it right. Remember the
difference between:

1. Over or under-pricing their work can mean a very short future for
any business. Approximately 60% customers think that Price is
the most important factor while they go for shopping in a retail
stores
2. Quality in everyday life and business, engineering and
manufacturing has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-
inferiority, superiority or usefulness of something. This is the
most common interpretation of the term. The quality of a product
or service refers to the perception of the degree to which the
product or service meets the customer's expectations. Quality has
no specific meaning unless related to a specific function and/or
object. Quality is a perceptual, conditional and somewhat
subjective attribute. And in addition to that, more than 90% of
customers place quality as the most important factor than
anything else in the list to shop in a retail store.
3. More than 70% of customers place variety as an important factor
 to shop in a particular retail store.
4. Brands name bears an important role while shopping of any type
of goods. So building a brand for a retail store is important as 80%
of customer still prefer to buy branded clothes in the retail store
instead of local or unbranded clothes.
 CONCLUSION

Given the developments and prospects, the Indian retail sector is in its
nascent stage of evolution. While there are obstacles, there are clear
opportunities in modern retailing in India. There are many lessons that
India can take from other countries, which have moved along the path
of retail evolution. The retail sector has proved to be of immense
significant from macro-economic point of view. The sector’s
capability to give strong growth momentum by creating multiplier
effects on other sectors is not in dispute. It is now necessary to
cautiously expand and develop the sector, as the government, at
present, has done by permitting partial FDI in the sector. Given the
scope, the retail sector is certainly expected to fetch the long-term
economic benefits for the country.

The convenience and personalized service offered by the unorganized

sector holds its future in good stead for the future. Organized retail of
late has seen a tremendous boom and is attracting more people to the
malls.

What is to be seen is how organized retail can duplicate the same level
of personalized customer service levels offered by the unorganized
sector to have a higher conversion ratio.
The target audience for both the organized and unorganized retail
formats remains relatively the same. When shopping in malls, people
value the experience related to the trip the most and return most
frequently for the same. Besides, while enjoying the experience they
seem to buy high ticket and items of conspicuous consumption most
frequently.

Gaining and maintaining consumer preference is a battle that is

never really won. Continued and consistent branding initiatives that
reinforce the consumer’s purchase decision will, over time, land the
product in consumer preference sets. Attaining and sustaining
preference is an important step on the road to gaining brand loyalty
 SUGGESTIONS

1. Include more trained sales person to help customers in the store

while shopping.
2. Improve quality of the products especially clothes.
3. Play good songs or soothing music in the store rather than cheap
filmy songs.
4. Customer care service can be introduced
5. More branded products can be displayed in the store as people
still prefer branded clothes than offered by local vendors.
6. Constant reminder of discounts through pamphlets, speakers
inside the store for inducing consumers for impulse buying.
7. Add more cosmetic products as its having a huge market of
consumers attached to it.
8. Display of product should be improved so that the product is
easily visible to the consumers.
9. Proper advertisement in press and outdoor to make Vishal Mega
Mart should be visible in the eyes of consumers.
10. Should have parking spaces in front of every store.
11. Hire more salesgirls as in ladies section its very difficult for
both the consumers and salesman to interact with each other.
12. Regular training to sales person to improve there overall
performance.
13. Customization of clothing should be given an important
consideration.
14. Proper packaging and provide contrast labelling in displays
of product.
15. Should apply electronic supply chain management for better
inventory management.
16. Proper power back up as air conditioners are not working to
their full capacity at many stores.
17. Proper placements of Gondola in the stores as space
between them are very less.
18. Proper display in the gondola and top most rack of the
gondola should be used for storing of inventory rather than
display of product.
19. Should provide more festival schemes and at proper time.
20. Should use psychological pricing-more discounts by
increasing the price
21. Proper display of cutlery items
22. Clothes should be in sync with fashion.
 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Although it would have been nice to conduct a perfect research study,
but this study is conducted under certain limitations, which were faced
while doing this research. So it is highly recommended to consider
these limitations while going through the project study.

These limitations are as follows

1.LIMITATION OF DATA

The statistical data regarding the city was not available to us on

secondary source of data and to generate such data on the primary
source was a task, which cannot be achieved in such a short time.

2.LIMITATION OF TIME

The limitation of time was another constraint in the study as the

study had to be conducted in few days therefore many aspects
have been left unexplored. Research period is not just much
enough to know fully about the strategies & consumers
perception

3.INHIBITIONS OF THE RESPONDENTS

The respondents did not reply the question with precision as they
were busy with their own work or they were not interested in
taking part in such a research. Employees sometimes feel
 hesitated while telling about their view about their marketing
strategies.

4.RESEARCH HAS BEEN CONDUCTED IN A

LIMITED AREA

The research has been conducted for the reliance mart(Maru

Tower, Kanke Road) but not all their retail outlet have been
covered therefore it has been mentioned that the research has been
conducted in a limited area.

5.THE SAMPLE SIZE IS LARGE

The sample size taken of the respondents is large therefore a very

rough picture of their marketing strategies has been generated
therefore this limitation has to be considered in the study.

These limitations were very common and yet we came across these
with a positive note and the subsequent chapters in this report shall
explain the rationality behind the structural compilation.
