Unit II

Locate interviews with senior management of international brands which have entered India, or planning to do so. What are the reasons given for the company to want to enter the retail market ?

Retailing involves all activities incidental to selling to ultimate consumer for their personnel family and household use. It does this by organizing their availability on a relatively large scale and

supplying them to a customers on a relatively small scale

The Indian retailing industry is becoming intensely competitive, as more and more players are Vying for the same set of customers. The major retail players are Pantaloon Retail, Shoppers Stop, Reliance, etc.., Retailing is one of the biggest sectors and it is witnessing revolution in India. The Windows of Opportunity shows that Retailing in India was at opening stage in 1995 and now it is in peaking stage in 2006. India's retail market is expected to grow tremendously in next few years. India shows US$330 billion retail market that is expected to grow 10% a year, with modern retailing just beginning . . The new entrant in retailing in India signifies the beginning of retail revolution.

As we saw how India’s retail sector growing and the whole world is watching. To tap India's burgeoning market for luxury goods, design firm Loius Vuitton seeks guidance from the descendant of maharaja.We give some excerpts from the interview of chief architect of the company’s brand strategy within India:

Company – LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy SA)

Interviewer – Sameer Reddy ( NEWSWEEK )

Guest - Tikkaraja Shatrujit Singh ( Crown Prince of the royal

family of Kapurthala )

What sort of role do you think Indian royalty plays today in relation to luxury?

Tikkaraja Shatrujit Singh, crown prince of the royal family of Kapurthala, is a living bridge between India's historical reputation for extravagance and its burgeoning reputation as a major market for luxury goods. They are custodians of a unique heritage, which is something to be very proud of. The world comes to India to see its heritage, not to see its modern factories. In the past the rulers patronized all the arts and crafts of India, they wore Indian clothes made by master craftsmen, they employed the best chefs, ordered the most fabulous jewelry, were entertained by the best musical performers

What is your role at LV?My role is to advise Mr. Carcelle on everything relating to India: new store locations, issues related to strategic communication, public relations, a whole gamut of things. What attracts LVMH to entering in India ?

Aspiring & being recognized – middle class

Extremely wealthy class - Bollywood stars,young politicians, tycoons

Accessible to everybody – thousand of products at different prices and customize for tycoons.

Idea of luxury - something made only for

you , something that no one else will ever have.

Govt. norms – relax FDI norms

Now we take a tour of totally opposite brand who trying to foray into India Retail market.

The first Pakistani entrant in the foods segment, with its specialty recipe masalas, is National Foods Limited (NFL). Zahid Majeed, corporate marketing director, discusses with Ranjan Kaplish the company's India foray strategies and plans ahead.

What attracted National Foods Ltd to India?

Through consumer exhibitions get overwhelming responses. Conduct consumer research – what consumer percept about Pakistani food, went in for home trails Advantages - no need to add pepper & salt , understanding the Indian consumer better than Western brands Customized products – Indian consumer wants a vegetarian variant of non- vegetarian recipes e.g.

Veg.briyani masala

From the above we get to know how two different brand look the market ,their categories and how they tap India’s the burgeoning retail market.

Query 2

You are planning to compete with the major multi – format retail outlets.

What types of outlets would you like to open , and why only these ones?

What methods do you believe will enable you to achieve sales and customer loyalty with your outlets?

Why only these methods? Why not others? Answer in the context of the retail environment.

Intro: The increase in the number of retail chains across

the country is an indication that organized retailing is emerging as an industry and will boom in a big way in the near future. Household groceries and apparel are the key drivers in India’s organized retail industry. There are various retail formats currently in use in India. These include hyper and supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores and specialty chains. Among these notable trend there has been the development of integrated retail-cum-entertainment centers and malls as opposed to stand -alone developments.

To compete with multi-format retail outlets , we foray into segment first with retail -cum -entertainment centre .Secondly we have to chose from whether to cater mass consumer or big spenders .

Mass consumer format

Bargain storeDaily bazaarRefreshment kiosks

Big spender format

Exclusive luxury brand store

Collection store – name it; feel it Image store- personality reflects

sporty/elegant/status

This justify with the example of an aggressive player on the retail brand- wagon, Sab Raho Saath or SRS group.

The SRS Group is one of North India’s ( the Faridabad-based )most prominent and a fast growing business houses, founded by the visionary Dr. Anil Jindal, who serves as the Chairman & Managing Director.

The number of outlets is expected to touch 100 by year end.

SRS Jewels is a recently launched jewellery and bullionretail brand. The brand specializes in stones-based jewellery. The number of stores will be expanded based on consumer response.

SRS Fashion Wear is a chain of multi-brand garment stores aimed at the label-conscious upper-middle end of the market. The stores stock both SRS’s in-house garment labels as well as those of other quality manufacturers.

Department store

A department store is a retail establishment which specializes in selling a wide range of products without a single predominant merchandise line. Department stores usually sell products including apparel, furniture, appliances, electronics, and additionally select other lines of products such as paint, hardware, toiletries, cosmetics, photographic equipment, jewellery, toys, and sporting goods. Certain department stores are further classified as discount department stores. Discount department stores commonly have central customer checkout areas, generally in the front area of the store. Department stores are usually part of a retail chain of many stores situated around a country or several countries.

Discount store

A discount store is a type of department store, which sell products at prices lower than those asked by traditional retail outlets. Most discount department stores offer wide assortments of goods; others specialize in such merchandise as jewellery, electronic equipment, or electrical appliances. Discount stores are not dollar stores, which sell goods at a dollar or less. Discount stores differ because they sell branded goods and prices vary widely between different products

Discount store didn’t match my expectations as product range was less, most of the things were out of stock .

A supermarket is a self-service store offering a wide variety of food and household merchandise, organized into departments. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store and it is smaller than a hypermarket or superstore.The supermarket typically comprises meat, fresh produce, dairy, and baked goods departments along with shelf space reserved for canned and packaged goods as well as for various nonfood items such as household cleaners, pharmacy products, and pet supplies. Most supermarkets also sell a variety of other household products that are consumed regularly, such as alcohol (where permitted), household cleaning products, medicine, clothes, and some sell a much wider range of nonfood products. it is situated near a residential area in order to be convenient to consumers. Its basic appeal is the availability of a broad selection of goods under a single roof at relatively low prices. Other advantages include ease of parking and, frequently, the convenience of shopping hours that extend far into the evening or even 24 hours a day. Supermarkets usually make massive outlays of newspaper and other advertising and often present elaborate in-store displays of products. The stores often are part of a corporate chain that owns or controls (sometimes by franchise) other supermarkets located nearby — even transnationally — thus increasing opportunities for economies of scale.

Super market

Ambience

Most supermarkets are similar in design and layout due to trends in marketing. Fresh produce tends to be located near the entrance of the store. Milk, bread, and other essential staple items are usually situated toward the rear of the store and in other out-of-the-way places, purposely done to maximize the customer's time spent in the store, strolling past other items and capitalizing on impulse buying. The front of the store, or "front end'" is the area where point of sale machines or cash registers are usually located. Many retailers also have implemented self-checkout devices in an attempt to reduce labor costs.

Introduction

In 2004, R. Subramanian, Managing Director of Subhiksha, a discount retailchain, addressed a group of management students who wanted to learn from hismiracle grocery-pharmaceuticals store that changed the face of discount retailing

in South India. Growing from a single outlet in Thiruvanmyur, Chennai, to thelargest chain of supermarkets and pharmacies with a turnover of Rs. 235 croreand 164 outlets had not been an easy task—given the controversy about MRP

and consumer prejudices against discount stores and not to mention theonslaught of big real estate businesses getting into retail.

The branding strategy for this retail store was low-cost and no-frills, i.e., a reliableand trustworthy store that has the lowest prices. The image of the store as

communicated through various media was that of one who cared for itscustomers and ensured the best deals and savings. However, there was more to

Subhiksha’s strategy than low prices. It focused on building long-termrelationships with its customers by giving them a lifetime of value and savings.The ability to do this stemmed from its relentless focus on value delivery rather

than transactional relationships.

Subhiksha’s retailing format :-

• Customers generally looked for accessibility of the store, availability andquality of groceries, and price of branded groceries.• Customers did not like to travel beyond 5 km for purchasing groceries.• Customers did not place any premium on shopping in posh air-conditioner set-ups.

Supermarket

The picture I got trough the website is matching with the store up to some extent. The products are available their are in bulk but it should be more organized and maintained. The visitors should show their conduct and staff

should be cooperative.
