22. Suggestion
Company should try to increase publicity in and around 0-10 kms of V-MART with the help of
different medias like local FM radio, print media, and posters especially when there are special
schemes for customers.
V-MART should introduce various schemes periodically, say once in forth nightly.
It is suggested that the company should adopt aggressive marketing campaigning and
advertising during times of seasonal bulk items like wheat, oil, ghee, spices etc. and provide fair
discounts on bulk purchase.
Making stalls in corporate mela’s like trade fair, maybe beneficial to create brand image of
its product
Company should provide regular training to their staff and aware him with the modern
technique of selling and customer dealing.
A special discount may be given on purchases exceeding certain limits.
There should be more number of billing machines at the billing counter.
Should enlarge the parking area

23. Limitations
 Limitation of data.
 Limitation of time.
Sample size is limited due to the limited period allocated
for the survey.
Getting accurate responses from the respondents due to
their inherent problem is difficult. They may be partial or
refuse to cooperate.
Respondents may not be interested to give the data.
Sometime respondents are not taking interest in such
type of surveys therefore there is chance that they might be
giving wrong information.
The respondents are free from all barriers so he/she can
give his/her opinion which may not be true in many
occasions.

24. CONCLUSION
In the research I found that Indian retail industry is very complicated
in nature because the taste and preferences of the customers vary a
lot in nature. The customers are very choosy in nature; they are not
ready to compromise with their requirements. The customers have
lots of option related to the choices. There are many competitors in
the retail industry. So the sales and promotion activity of the
company is the only tool to attract the customers.
TO work effectively in the market and face
the challenges in the current marketing situation organization must
have to adopt a very efficient and good
MARKETING STRATEGY.
