Introduction
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE RETAIL INDUSTRY
Retailing is the distribution channel function where on organisation buys products from
supplying firms and manufacture the product themselves and then sell these directly to
consumers. Retailer is also reseller-obtain the product from one party in order to sell to other.
The term "Retailing" refers to any activity that involves a sale to an individual customer. In
India, the unorganized retailing sector comprises of 95% while that of organized sector just 5%
that is mainly in major metropolitan and urban areas. Indian retailing traditionally dominated by
a small family run "Kirana" store. Retailing in India is the second largest untapped market after
China. Professional management and strong customer focus characterize organized retailing.
Concept- To woo the customer to the store retailers are providing a wide range of product,
Quality, and value for money, apart from creating a memorable shopping experience. Organized
retailing has made a considerable headway in product like food & groceries, clothing books, and
music.
Five things for the retailer-
1. Customer satisfaction
2. Ability to acquire right product
3. Product presentation
4. Traffic building
5. Keeping pace with technology

The leading Indian retail player are-
1. Westside (Tata)
2. Pantaloon
3. Big Bazaar
4. food bazaar(PRIL)
5. Food world(RPG)
6. Shopper's stop(Raheja Group)
7. Reliance fresh
8. Vishal mega mart
9. Life style
10. Ebony
11. Hyper city
12. Honey well
13. Subhiksha
Different format of retail-
1. Mom-and-pop stores: These are generally family-owned businesses catering to small

sections of society. They are small, individually run and handled retail outlets.
2. Category killers: Small specialty stores have expanded to offer a range of categories.
They have widened their vision in terms of the number of categories. They are called
category killers as they specialize in their fields, such as electronics (Best Buy) and
sporting goods (Sport Authority).
3. Department stores: These are the general merchandise retailers offering various kinds of
quality products and services. These do not offer full service category products and some
carry a selective product line. K Raheja's Shoppers Stop is a good example of department
stores. Other examples are Lifestyle and Westside. These stores have further categories,
such as home and décor, clothing, groceries, toys, etc.

4. Malls: These are the largest form of retail formats. They provide an ideal shopping
experience by providing a mix of all kinds of products and services, food and
entertainment under one roof. Examples are Sahara Mall, TDI Mall in Delhi.
5. Specialty Stores: The retail chains, which deal in specific categories and provide deep
assortment in them are specialty stores. Examples are RPG's Music World, Mumbai's
bookstore Crossword, etc.
6. Discount stores: These are the stores or factory outlets that provide discount on the MRP
items. They focus on mass selling and reaching economies of scale or selling the stock
left after the season is over.
7. Hypermarkets/ Supermarkets: These are generally large self-service outlets, offering a

variety of categories with deep assortments. These stores contribute 30% of all food and
grocery organized retail sales. Example: Big Bazaar.
8. Convenience stores: They are comparatively smaller stores located near residential
areas. They are open for an extended period of the day and have a limited variety of stock
and convenience products. Prices are slightly higher due to the convenience given to the
customers.
9. E-tailers: These are retailers that provide online facility of buying and selling products
and services via Internet. They provide a picture and description of the product. A lot of
such retailers are booming in the industry, as this method provides convenience and a
wide variety for customer. But it does not provide a feel of the product and is sometimes
not authentic. Examples are Amazon.com, eBay.com, etc.
10. Vending: Smaller products such as beverages, snacks are some the items that can be
bought through vending machines. At present, it is not very common in India.
View of a retail store-

To have a clear picture and understanding of any matter it is very important to approach it from
the grass root level therefore to understand retail in depth it becomes important to deal first hand
with the customers to whom you shall be catering to. Moreover the retail store is the final
destination of all retail operations, so it again becomes important to know the handling,
operations and various dealings at the basic store level. The employees, from the sales staff to the
store manager, need to be highly customer driven and have the efficiency to meet the ever rising
customer expectations. How can employees meet these rising customer expectations and
alongside maintain efficiency of resources. The employees need to be well informed about stock
availability, reorder points, latest trends, customer expectations, competitor strategies etc.
To meet such stiff competition retailers need to follow a hybrid approach which involves both
standardization and customization of processes and services respectively as and when the need
arises.
The retail staff needs to be highly customer driven and their efforts should not be aimed at
making a sale but at earning a loyal customer for it is rightly said that 80% of the sale comes
from 20% of the customers.
Retail is all about size. If you look at retail companies, margins are thin. So it is important to
grow to such a size that even if margins improve by ten basis points, the impact on the bottom-
line is large.
Therefore the processes need to be consumer friendly and apt according to the cost reduction and
revenue generation policies of the company. Though the consumer behaviour is something that is
highly unpredictable it needs to be motivated continuously for the benefit of the organization and
definitely the customer too.

Why retail is booming in India-
1. Cultural habits changing –people are acquiring Western look
2. New retail format development to incorporate, Changing attitudes like
“Having a good time” attitude driving growth of pubs, clubs, coffee bars, fast food joints
etc.
3. Increasing awareness and spending on grooming and lifestyle.
4. High disposable incomes
5. Reduction in import tariffs, excise duty
6. More competition leading to fall in prices
7. Before liberalization many consumer durables were not available – Government

disallowed imports of most products – Luxury items banned/had high import tariffs
8. Post liberalization Enhanced availability of superior quality goods at affordable prices
9. Two incidental factors Spread of cable and satellite television influencing consumer
behavior.

CHAPTER 2
INTERNET MARKETING

New media for

Introduction on internet marketing

Ever since the advent of Internet, advertising on the World Wide Web has been very popular. Many
corporations, companies and business have taken advantage of this and you can see ads on any web
pages you visit. Consumer can go to any search engine and type the keyword relating to what they are
looking for and hit search and they will be provided with a huge list from which they can select. This is a
very cost effective and time saving method of advertising.
It has become really easy for any business to have a personalized website by which they can advertise,
directly interact with the customer; provide details about their product and services. Regular
newsletters, offers, discounts can be pasted on site to increase the interest of the website visitors.
Since it’s easy to reach any kind of audience concerning any kind of business, the possibility of misuse is
always there. Based on this Internet advertising is classified into two kinds of advertisement, legal online
advertising and illegal online advertising. Legal online advertising includes online advertising directories,
search engine advertising, e-mail advertising, and desktop advertising. Illegal advertising is more
commonly know as spamming. This is usually done by altering some system settings with the help of
external applications after which pop-ups are sent to a particular network or computer. The external
applications are known as adware or spyware. Some of these are really harmful, the most famous being
Trojans, which are very hard to uninstall and remove from the system. With the increase in technology,
special effects are being used to make advertisement more interesting. Vivid colors, good page layout
and lots ofimagination is involved. Typically Adobe Flash is used to designadvertisements these days.
Depending on the technology being used todesign advertisements can be classified into various
categories.
Banner ads are animations displayed on the website usually created in HTML or Eudora. There is a range
of type and sizes of the ads. Trick banner ads are banner ads that have an extra functionality of dialog
boxes and buttons and are displayed as an alert or error message.

The Internet has brought media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing
in terms of providing instant responses and eliciting responses are the unique qualities of the
medium. Internet marketing is sometimes considered to be broad in scope because it not only
refers to marketing on the Internet, but also includes marketing done via e-mail and wireless
media. Management of digital customer data and electronic customer relationship management
(ECRM) systems are also often grouped together under internet marketing.
Internet marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the Internet, including: design,
development, advertising, and sales. Internet marketing also refers to the placement of media along
many different stages of the customer engagement cycle through search engine
marketing(SEM), search engine optimization (SEO), banner ads on specific websites, e-mail
marketing, and Web 2.0 strategies.
Social media marketing is a recent component of organizations' integrated marketing

communications plans. Integrated marketing communications is a principle organizations follow to
connect with their targeted markets. Integrated marketing communications coordinates the
elements of the promotional mix—advertising, personal selling, public relations, publicity,direct
marketing, and sales promotion—to produce a customer focused message.[1] In the traditional
marketing communications model, the content, frequency, timing, and medium of communications
by the organization is in collaboration with an external agent, i.e. advertising agencies, marketing
research firms, and public relations firms.[2] However, the growth ofsocial media has impacted the
way organizations communicate with their customers. In the emergence of Web 2.0, the internet
provides a set of tools that allow people to build social and business connections, share information
and collaborate on projects online.

OBJECTIVE OF INTERNET MARKETING

· Communicating a firm's message- about its profile, its services, and its products.

The above objectives can be materialized through online promotion that includes press release,
posting an attractive story about the company, its people, its website or its products and services
with online wire services, blogs or forums, which can be a medium for placing comments, opinions

CHAPTER 5
LEARNINGS

New media for
fashion@big bazaar
space space
There was a lot of learning’s in the summer training.
I was able to learn how to plan, coordinate, execute and finalize marketing projects. Also
learned how to effectively deal with a variety of situations and find appropriate solutions.
Actively participated in facilitation and management of the activities of the Fashion @Big Bazaar
facebook event.
Gathered relevant work experience and essential training for developing new innovative ideas
and implementing new marketing strategies. This helped me propose new ideas and methods to
increase user participation for the Fashion @ Big Bazaar activation.
We can connect the company’s site to facebook fan page , to attract the people and proving
them the information about the merchandise available in the stores.
I was able to apply a diverse range of skills into real business environments and acquire effective
time management skills.
The management and marketing techniques I've learned in the classroom have gone hand in
hand with things I learnt on the job, which has helped me apply my knowledge in both areas.
I've been able to network with a range of people from different walks of life and this experience
will also help when I'm out of the classroom, searching for a job.
We can introduce better designer apparels and accessories
Fashion @ big bazaar can come up with more events that would keep our audience excited and
updated with the latest apparel collection in our stores.
