A project report on customer feedback at big bazaar
Retailing occupies a pre-eminent position in all economies. Retailing
includes all those activities that involve the sale of goods and services to
ultimate consumers for personal, family and household use. Indian
consumers are always known for its price sensitivity. Change in Indian
retailing has been constant but the pace of development is fast over past few
years.

 According to survey conducted by CII & McKinsey, the total number of
retail outlets in India are more than 12 million. The survey estimated that
retail segment in India contributes more than 10% to the GDP and employs
around 8% of the total workforce. The high contribution is attributable to the
fact that India has the largest retail outlet destiny relative to population.
Compared to the number of retail outlets per 1000 people, India has 5-10
retail outlets where as it is just 3.7 in US. This itself highlights the extent of
retail penetration in India.

Now the Indian Retail Industry is moving from unorganized retail to
organized retail. Organized retail include departmental stores, hyper markets,
discount stores etc. where all shopping needs of the consumers are met at
one place like that of home needs, apparels, beauty, toys, food, electronics
etc.

Gone are the days when consumers needed to visit a no of places to address
their shopping list. Small shops, niche shops made that type of shopping
expensive and inconvenient. But now all small needs can be met through big
departmental stores, which make the shopping convenient for consumers by
providing consumer durable and consumer perishables under a single roof.

Organized retail is a big revolution to Indian economy, which not only
contribute to convenient shopping but also contribute to national growth.
Just think! In a country where 96 percent of the retail outlets are packed into
less than 500 square feet, but the average size of these kind of departmental
stores is around 15,000 square feet. In a country where departmental store
refereed to well segregated godown, but now it means big retail store where
all FMCGs are available under one roof.
TRADITIONAL VIEW:

India is the country having the most unorganized retail market. Traditionally
the retail business is run in a shop in the front of the house. Making India a
nation of shopkeepers. The estimated number of outlets in India was 5.37
million in 1999. This means at least 5.5 outlets per 1000 people, the highest
number of outlets per capita in the world. These outlets however, barely
come within the organized sector. But now the number has increased to 12
million. The retailing landscape is dominated by small independent outlets,
which have less than 500-sq.feet space but together contribute an
extraordinary 96% of total resale. But now the retailing landscape has
increased to 15000-sq.feet space.

  The manufacturers use to distribute goods through C&F agents to
distributors & wholesalers. Retailers happen to source the merchandise from
wholesalers & reach to end-users. Retailers are the last stage in supply chain,
the merchandise price used to get inflated to a great extent till it reaches
from manufacturer to end user. Manufacturer does not largely control selling
prices.

 All the merchandise is purchased as per the test & vim and fancies of the
proprietor also the pricing is done on ad hoc basis or by seeing the face of
the customer. Generally the accounts of trading & home are not maintained
separately. Profits are accumulated in slow moving & non-moving stocks,
which become redundant or consumed in-house. Thus profits were vanished
without their knowledge.
CHANGING VIEW:

Since Indian industry is showing changing faces, the retail industry is not an
exception. Indian consumer wants big in less time. With the changing time,
people are more occupied with work, office, family and children. With this
change in their lifestyle their consuming pattern has also changed. It changed
the shape of retail market into big retail formats i.e. shopping malls,
departmental stores, hypermarkets, super bazaars. The biggest unorganized
retail sector is changing to organized sector. Though it will take time as the
society is dominated by nukkar walas, kirana shops, niche shops etc. the
success stories of Pantaloons, Lifestyles and many more are showing the
trend of potential organized retail market.

UPCOMING ORGANIZED RETAIL SECTOR:

In the opening of 21st century, there is evidence of new forms of retailing.
The retail market is becoming more segmented with retail formats focusing
on the needs of a particular consumer groups. The traditional forms of
independently owned small business and co-operatives are losing their
market share in big areas, metro cities and satellite areas. Now they are
characterized by large scale multiple chains run by powerful and
sophisticated organizations like super bazaars, kendriya bhandar.
Hypermarkets, departmental stores and discount stores.

PROSPECTS:
With the changing time and customer lifestyles, gone are the days when
shopping used to be a tiring experience, running to purchase the specifics
from place to place. Now it has become an enjoyment for the entire family
where the desires of all family members can be met under one roof. Modern
organized retail sector has become a long way. Though it is in infancy stage
in India catering the needs of specific segments of the society in the areas of
big cities and satellite areas like Gurgaon, Noida etc

According to CII-McKinsey report retailing in India is the biggest industry
with gross sales totaling $180 billion and second largest generator of
employment after agriculture. Retail industry is expected to grow at the rate
of 15-20% per annum in the organized retail sector. The retail sector is
expected to show maximum growth in the areas of Apparels, Food Retailing
and Entertainment.

Big format stores are classified into: -
•Retail malls
•Specialty stores
•Departmental stores
•Discount/Bargain stores
•Hypermarket
•Hybrid stores.

Though the numbers are few but the success stories of these retail formats
can give the picture of retail potential in India. Pantaloons (Biyanis),
Westside (Tatas), Lifestyles (ITC), Food world (RPG), Music World, Marks
&Spencer and many more have made a landmark in Indian organized sector
exceeding Rs.100 crore marks.
A project report on customer feedback at big bazaar
Background:

“Pantaloon Retail (India) limited” was incorporated as Manz Wear Private
Limited by Kishore Biyani on 12 October 1987, converted into public
limited company in September 1991, renamed as Pantaloon Fashions (India)
Limited a year later & thereafter into Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited in
July 1999. The company is headquartered in Mumbai & possesses plants at
Tarapore & Mumbai to manufacture garments.
The company’s shares are listed on the Mumbai & NSE. The company’s
market capitalization was Rs 82.10 Cr in 2002 on the Mumbai Stock
Exchange. The promoters, the Mumbai based Biyani family,hold a near 50%
equity in the company. The company has approximately 14,000
shareholders.


Growth:

Pantaloon reported a turnover of Rs 650 Cr in 2003-04, Over this period
company has evolved as from a small manufacturing concern into India’s
largest manufacture-retailer, integrated along the entire value chain. By the
end of the first quarter of 2002-03, the company’s presence had grown to 14
departmental stores & 4 hypermarkets. The company had 2,13,000 Sq Ft. of
Pantaloons departmental stores & 1,72,000 Sq Ft. of Big bazaar discount
stores (end of first quarter, 2002-03).


Pioneering:

Over the years, the company has accelerated growth through its ability to
lead change. A number of its pioneering concepts have now emerged as
industry standards. For instance, the company integrated backwards into
garment manufacturing even as it expanded its retail presence at the front
end, well before this was attempted by any other Indian retail company.


 The company was first to introduce the concepts of the retail
  departmental store for the entire family in 1997.
 The company was the first to launch a hypermarket in India with Big
  Bazaar, a large discount store that it commissioned in Kolkatta in October
  2001.
 And the company introduces the concept of Food Bazaar, a unique Mandi
  within a hypermarket, which was launched in July 2002 in Mumbai.

Brands:

The company’s retail presence is marked by visible & reputable brands like:
           John Miller, Bare, srishti, HNY, Annabelle, scotsville, Ajile,
pantalength & Pantaloon (India’s no. one trouser).

The company delivers adequate customer choice by stocking non competing
& complementary brands owned by other manufacturers.

Concept:

Pantaloons introduced the concept of the departmental store. It stocked all
the customer lifestyle needs from clothing, home needs, apparels, beauty
accessories & other products. In doing so, the company addressed around
20% of the customer’s shopping basket. In 2002-03, the company took this
initiative an important step further. It introduced the hypermarket discount
store with more than 1,80,000 items --- food, grocery, utensils, kitchen
needs, home needs, bath needs, toys, stationery, electronics & white goods-
that now catered to nearly 60% of the customer’s shopping basket,
translating into higher footfalls & turnover.

BUSINESS MODEL:

It has been calculated that most Indian retail companies enjoy a margin of 28
percent on sales. But the retail cost, estimated at 28 percent of sales
generally leaves them with a little to cover H.O. expenses. This explains why
most organized retailers in India struggle to break even.
Faced with challenging scenario, Pantaloons rewrote some rules.
•It introduced private labels as opposed to selling only popular brands.
•Pantaloons prudently selected apparel as a volumedriver. It manufactured
40 percent of all the garments that it put on its shelves.
•It eliminated supply-chain inefficiencies, reduced costs and passed these
savings to customers.
•It offered an exchange policy with no questions asked.
•It created two product categories to attract the customer with low margin
products and to attract customers buying on an impulse, translating into
higher margins.
Big bazaar      ‘Isse Sasta Aur Acha Kahin Nahin’        is the hypermarket
discount store initiative of the company (Pantaloon) commissioned to
address the discount & bargain-hunting tendency of the Indian shopper.

Firstly Big Bazaar was set up across 50,000 Sq. ft. in Kolkatta. Driven by the
resounding success of the concept, four Big Bazaars were rolled out across
2,00,000 Sq. ft. in Hyderabad, Bangalore, & Mumbai.

These include Men’s, Ladies, children apparel, utensils, kitchenware,
stationery, luggage, toys, optical products, a photo studio & an STD booth
among others.

Big Bazaar has more than 50 sales offers across its countries at any time &
these discounts range from 6 to 60%.

The magic of the concept is reflected in the footfall. Big Bazaar attracts
more than 5,00,000 shoppers every month. More importantly, it has emerged
as the first organized store to reach out to a broad customer spectrum-from a
village to a wealthy businessman.

At Big Bazaar, price was the principal value proposition at these stores. The
store sold a variety of products 5 to 60% lower than the corresponding
market price. Schemes of Big bazaar are very popular like ‘buy two get one
free’. Also positioning & product availability in Big Bazaar gained a higher
share of the customer’s shopping basket.
Food Bazaar      ‘Ab Ghar Chalaana Kitna Aasaan!’

 In July 2002, Big Bazaar made a challenging extension: It entered the Food
 Retail with a 9,000 Sq. ft. Food bazaar at its lower parel store in Mumbai.
 Enthused by the phenomenal response, the company has set up Food Bazaar
 in other Big Bazaar stores also.

 The company’s reason for entering Food retail were:
    Food spending at 53% of personal income outstripped every other
       itemized spending in India.
    Despite this high spending, the role of organized food retail in the
       country’s total food spend was just one percent.
    Within this under penetration, an interesting pattern was noticed:
       organized food retail was estimated to be the fastest growing retail
       segment.
    The demand for organized food retail is expected to increase ten-fold
       in the next four years based on the following trends: domestic help
       becoming expensive as well as the increasing incidence of nuclear
       families & working women.



Business model:

 The company’s Food Bazaar was adapted to the Indian environment. To
 attract regular bazaar-goers, a mandi was created within the Food Bazaar
 where consumers could touch, feel, pick & choose products. This choice was
 supplemented by the provision for packaged food for the westernized
 shoppers.
Food Bazaar prices were priced at wholesale rates below the MRP. Private
labels were introduced for high margin & price-sensitive products like tea,
salt and oil.



Products:

The Food Bazaar stocked an average of 11,000 SKUs. This includes
provisions, vegetables and fresh produce, FMCG products, bakery products,
basic staples, cereals, pulses, cooking oils, flour, spices, dry fruit, health
food, baby food, dairy products, drinks, beverages as well as ready-to-eat,
ready-to-cook products. The incidence of special purchase offers and
discounts made shopping at Food Bazaar highly affordable.

Not surprisingly, within three months of launch, Food Bazaar emerged as the
highest single point sales outlet for FMCG giants. Based on overwhelming
success, the company launched Food Bazaar in each Big Bazaar. Therefore it
had increased the footfalls in very large amount. So company Pantaloon has
decided to blend food and grocery with apparel. Result: food and grocery
created the footfall & apparels generated the profit.
Nation Builder:

Pantaloon is not just another retailer. It is a nation builder this is why it is
their conviction that while the majority of Indian retail stimulates the
national economy, they don’t contribute directly to it, simply because they
are unorganized & hence, outside the purview of the country’s taxation
system.

Pantaloon is proud to contribute directly to national growth through their
organized retail platforms, which generates revenue not just for the company
but also for exchequer.

Effective Strategy:

The effective strategy at Pantaloons is to build a successful traffic plans & an
effective margin strategy to obtain perfection.

On the one hand, a better quality of store, Promotion & Visual Merchandise
has translated into increasing footfalls across all the stores. Pantaloon also
has developed specific categories like accessories, cosmetics, artificial
jewelers, household articles & the in-hose restaurant, which enjoy sustained
customer off take. Over time company has opted to make a large quantity of
the biggest contributor- clothing- within its factories & under its own labels,
translating into higher margins.

Uniqueness        Being First:

In a country of more than 12 million retail outlets, the company that thinks
laterally is the one that makes a difference.

     In a country where 96% retail outlets are packed into less than 500
      Sq. ft., the average size of Pantaloon’s retail outlet is around 15,000
      sq.ft.
     In a country, which grew up with the tradition of carrying cut piece
      lengths to the corner tailoring store, the company has launched the
      concept of the readymade branded trousers.
 In a country where ‘shirt’ meant plane white & tucked outside the
  trousers, Pantaloon created a popular segment under the brand name
  of ‘John Miller’.
 In a country, where a store was an outlet in a single location,
  Pantaloon introduced a nationwide franchisee model under ‘men’s
  wear retail’.
 In a country where ‘factory outlet’ referred to a place that sold
  defective goods at a discount, the company introduced a place that
  sold contemporary first-rate goods at an attractive price.
 In a country where ‘departmental store’ refereed to a well-segregated
  godown, Pantaloons introduced a first rate retail format.
 In a country where a discount store was a place that sold goods at an
  attractive markdown for sometime in the year, the company
  introduced a store where the discount was institutionalized into its
  365-day business model.
 In a country where retailers were content with having specialized
  store in one city, Pantaloon opened a chain of stores in 10 cities of
  India.

A project report on customer feedback at big bazaar
Big Bazaar ‘isse sasta aur achha kahin nahi’ is the hypermarket discount
store initiative of the company commissioned to address the discount and
bargain hunting capacity of the Indian shopper.

At big Bazaar, price was the principal value proposition at these stores. The
store sold a variety of products 5% to 60% lower than the corresponding
market price. Apparel, for instance, was normally cheaper by 25% to 60%.
To popularize discounts, Big Bazaar circulated a Patrika with offer like:
“Kanchan frying pan worth Rs. 250/- free with Dawat premium Basmati rice
worth Rs. 310/-” and “ Buy two bottles of Haveli pickles, Get the third free”.

The magic of the concept is reflected in footfall, Big Bazaar attracts more
than 500000 shoppers every month. More importantly, it has emerged as the
first organized store to reach out to a broad customer spectrum- from a
villager to a wealthy businessman.

In addition to the attractive price differential, Big Bazaar’s draw was its
unusual offer: that the customer could not locate similar product at a lower
sticker price elsewhere within 10 days, then the customer would be entitled
to gift voucher worth twice the amount of the difference! Besides, the Shop-
in-Shop concept also maximized footfalls.

Thanks to its positioning and product availability, the Big Bazaar stores
gained a higher share of the costumer’s shopping basket. The Big Bazaar
stores contributed Rs. 55.88 Cr to the company’s turnover in 2001-02
(including Shop-in-Shop sales of Rs. 12.87 Cr).


PRODUCTS
A Big drive of footfall at Big Bazaar is the product Variety. The Company
stocks about 1,30,000 items over 20 product categories. This has been
supported by the Company’s decision not just to stock it with shops. As a
result, a usual Big Bazaar companies shops that stock medicines, optical
accessories, camera rolls bakery products dry fruits, crockery, utensils,
glassware, health and beauty products, ladies accessories, saree and dress
material, infant necessities, readymade garments, fabrics, electronics,
watches, clocks, computer accessories, food and beverages, stationery,
household appliance, house hold products, plastic products, furniture, home
furnishings and luggage. A Big Bazaar also provides PCOs, Photostats and
ATM services.

Apparels: Apparels accounted for 70% of Big Bazaar off take in 2001-02
the price factor was singularly responsible for the success it started from Rs.
99/- upwards to Rs. 799/-. Even though the apparel products at Big Bazaar
reinforced the price with its range men’s wear, ladies ethnic, western wear
and kids wear the role of Visual Merchandising was emphasized.

Non Apparels: Non apparels sales accounted for 10% of Big Bazaar total of
sale in 2001-02. A range of more then 1 lac items coupled with a 6% to 60%
discounts started a virtuous cycle: thanks to the increased footfall, Big
Bazaar entered in to an attractive negotiation with its vendors for better
prices, which translated into an even higher footfalls. The non apparel
categories include plastics items, footwear toys, luggage, appliance white
goods and stationery.
Visual Merchandising:

In a brand-cluttered world, Visual Merchandising helps to create the
excitement that transforms a customer’s in-store interest into purchase.

Visual Merchandising is a scientific management of store space. Its role is to
adequately display products, highlight discounted products, position
products on shelves and design posters in a manner that increases the
customer interest and leads logically to a transaction. As a result, effective
Visual Merchandising informs, showcases and converts.

Ay pantaloons, they work with architecture design professionals who make
an intelligent use of shelf talkers, high points, focal point displays, signage’s,
danglers and window display. These professionals are encouraged to design
stores with a sensitive reference to the local culture, events and festivals.


Design studio:

Pantaloons pay a considerable emphasis to the consistent development of
new products through a dedicated design and development studio. This
studio represents the company’s initiative in the area of product research. It
studies trends in international fashion and extends its findings into
continuous product and design development. This 16-person Mumbai studio
comprises qualified NIFT professionals.

The design studio was created with a clear objective:
To gradually migrate the company to a point where 80% of the
products sold could be made within the company’s factories.
Besides, an in-house design and development studio was created to meet the
 growing demand for a wider choice across various categories –
 Men’s wear (formal and casuals), women’s wear (western wear and ethnic
 wear) and children’s wear- various ages, markets, seasons and preferences.

 At pantaloons, the design team does not work from an ivory tower. It
 interacts with category managers, understands their requirements and
 communicates this information to the merchandising department. The design
 team then analyses the likely trends for the various markets and sets about
 designing various options- around 500 in 2001-02-for a season. The design
 team works closely with the category managers and the merchandising to
 ascertain the relevance and viability before a design is finally frozen.

 In 2001-02, the design team widened its offering to include the following:

       Men’s casuals : 200 options
       Men’s formals : 200 options
       Men’s knits : 500 options
       HNY           : 300 options
       Oye           : 200 options
       Annabelle     : 300 options
       Bare jeans wear: 300 options


 Besides, the design team helped category managers conduct a disciplined
thematic rollout- ‘symphony on ice series- of garments with attendant fanfare
which captured consumer recall.

The design team was also instrumented in the men’s wear category- Cubix,
Linea Classica and ICR. In the ladies wear category, it launched different
styles under the Annabelle, Honey and Bare brands.
Loyalty Programs:


The maximization of repeat footfalls through customer loyalty programs has
been a tradition at Pantaloons. As a result, Pantaloons Green Card holders
increased from 5,000 to 75,000 and Green Card holders accounted for 25% of
store sales in 2002-03.

The Green Card loyalty program was launched in 2000-01, when the company
migrated to the national retail chain. This card was different from the others of
its kind; it did not just cater to the individual, but to the entire family.

Benefits: a Green Card for quick billing, the allotment of points against
purchase, the redemption of these points against free purchases, free tickets to
city events, add-on cards, special schemes, free home delivery, longer
exchange periods and free parking.

In 2002-03, Pantaloons Green Card holders enjoyed access to several events
and promotions, which included musical programs, a chance to win trips to
Bangkok and Singapore and attendance at visits by Hrithik Roshan And
Aamir Khan to Pantaloons stores.
A project report on customer feedback at big bazaar
I have done my training in the “Big Bazaar”, division of the Pantaloon
(Gurgaon) in Sahara Mall. The title of my project is “customer feedback”
which was conducted with the way of questionnaire by getting the response
of regular customers in the household section of Big Bazaar. It was a good
experience as how to conduct with various people & how to get different
information from different customers.


Customer Feedback:

   Customer feedback is very necessary practice in marketing because with
   the help of this, a marketer can know his customer’s attitudes about their
   products. By taking customer feedback the marketer can make necessary
   improvement in his product according to the requirements of the
   customers.

   Nowadays, it becomes a common practice that every company is taking
   the customers feedbacks from any of the methods like through websites
   or e-mails.

   According to planet_customer.com companies like Cadbury India,
   Godrej Soaps, Voltas, Johnson & Johnson, Raymond, Eureka Forbes and
   Dabur etc. have already registered at the site & customers can send their
   feedback through to them. Through net customers can communicate with
   the companies directly- for complaints, compliments, suggestions and
   even questions.

   Many FMCG product’s producers are providing their e-mail addresses or
   websites at the backside of the wrapper, in order to built a link between
   customers & producers. They listen to different queries of customers &
   provide assurance about the quality of product.

Summer Training is an integral part of the professional courses. In classroom
studies main concentration is on the theoretical portion while the main
objective of summer training is to impart practical knowledge to the college
professional students.

I did my summer training in Gurgaon. My specialization area was marketing.
In today’s competitive scenario, marketing plays a major role. I have chosen
survey in marketing in order to get the practical experience that is, how to
conduct with various people, explaining them the motto behind the survey,
convince them to chat with me & to collect information about “customer
feedback” of Pantaloon in marketing.

Customer’s attitude was being recognized by the way of questionnaire,
which was prepared by myself. The questionnaire clearly defines the attitude
of different persons by getting the feedback or response from them.

In such a competitive environment, the survival is of fittest. Those who can
know & understand the needs of consumers can produce the products of the
consumer’s attitude most effectively, & thereby they are the survival in the
long run. Those who are not able to do that are left behind in the race of
competition. So it is extremely important to know the attitude of the
consumer and adopt the Business strategies according to their needs and
wants.

I have drafted the questionnaire and then did a survey in Big Bazaar section
of Pantaloon. Then I did analysis of the customer’s responses and the
findings of the research have been presented in the report.

A research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research
    problem. In Research Methodology we study the various steps that are
    generally adopted by researcher in studying his research problem along with
    the logic behind them.

    Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Information is
    the lifeblood of managerial decision-making. The purpose of methodology
    section is to describe the research procedure by which the relevant information
    is gathered.

    This section comprises the research design, the data collection method, the
    sampling procedures and analysis procedures.

    Research Methodology includes:

   Research Design
   Sample Design
   Data Collection
   Data Analysis


    RESEARCH DESIGN:


    A Research design is the overall plan or program of research. It is the general
    blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. It includes an
    outline of what the investigator will do from writing the hypothesis and their
    operational implications to the final analysis of data. It is the overall
    operational pattern or framework of the project that stipulates what
    information is to be collected, from which sources and by which procedure.
Depending upon the objective of the study there are four research designs
available:


   Exploratory Research
   Descriptive Research
   Diagnostic Research
   Experimental Research

Exploratory research:

It means to gain the familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insight
into it. Studies with this object in view are termed as exploratory or
formularize research studies.

Descriptive research:
                       In this type of research, researcher has to portray
accurately the characteristics of particular individual, group or situation.

Diagnostic research:

It deals with determing the frequency with which something occurs or with
which something associated with something else.

Experimental research:

It is used to test a hypothesis for causal relationship that is the cause & effect
relationship.


      Research design used during project:

 I’ve taken “EXPLORATELY RESERCH DESIGN” for my project.
Population:

It is the target group, which the researcher wants to know about by studying
one or more of its samples. To be complete, a population must be very
explicitly defined in terms of elements, sampling units, extent and time.

    Population taken: GURGAON

Sampling Procedure:

Sampling is simply the process of learning about the population on the basis
of a sample drawn from it. Thus, in the sampling technique instead of every
unit of the universe only a part of the universe is studied and the conclusions
are drawn on that basis for the entire universe. A sample is a subset of
population units. The process of sampling involves three elements:
    Selecting the sample,
    Collecting the information, and
    Making an inference about the population.

On the basis of sample study we can predict and generalize the behavior of
mass phenomenon.

    The method of sampling used during project:

   “CONVENIENCE SAMPLING”


Sampling Unit:

The sampling unit is the basic unit containing the elements of the population
to be sampled. It may be the element itself, i.e., the object on which
measurements are taken or a unit in which the element is contained.

    Sampling unit chosen for the project: “INDIVIDUAL”

Sample Size:    “100”
Data Collection Method:

Depending on the source, statistical data are classified under two categories:
  1) Primary Data
  2) Secondary Data

          Data used during project: “PRIMARY DATA”

Primary data are obtained by a study specifically designed to fulfill the data
needs of the problem at hand. Such data are original in character and are
generated in large number of surveys.

    Method of data collection used: “QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD”

Limitations:


 1. People in Gurgaon are very large in number. We used random sample

    and convenient sample method. Actual information couldn’t be taken

    from these people because they were large in numbers.

 2. As the sample size was only 100, so it cannot be a true representative of

    the whole Gurgaon.

 3. We had very less time to complete this study. To cover all the people it

    requires lot of time and money.

 4. Some people did not have interest in the questionnaire, because of less

    time. They didn’t response well. So it affected the results of the study.

CONCLUSION
As the slogan of Big Bazaar “Isse Sasta Aur Acha Kahin Nahin”, has been
attracted most of the customers which directly affects on the increase in
number of footfalls of customers in Big Bazaar. As what I have observed
that slogan attracts many number of customers and ultimately affects on
increase in number of footfalls in Big Bazaar. The offers and discounts also
attract lot of customers to purchase items from Big Bazaar rather than
outside. Also convenient shopping and self-service attracts the customers.

According to my survey a great number of population are very much
satisfied with the availability & accessibility of products in Big Bazaar. But
there are many complaints regarding the quality of Plastics & Garments In
Big Bazaar. Customers found most of the items in Plastics were damaged
&told that they are not long lasting. But the purchasing of Plastics was in
bulk as they are cheaper than other items. So purchasing percentage of
Plastics were more.

In the appliances section, the purchasing percentage of customers was less
than others, because the customers want to buy them from the exclusive
shops like LG & all. The number of appliances purchased from Big Bazaar
was less.

There were a large percentage of customers who are highly satisfied with the
price level. They feel reasonable prices in Big Bazaar as well as in food
bazaar. But some people didn’t agree with the slogan ‘Sasta Price’ in Big
Bazaar as they feel the prices are quite similar to that of the market price. As
what I have observed that middle class families are highly satisfied with the
price level.




                  RECOMMENDATIONS
1. In the household section some products consisting of Barcode
   showing the prices, were not displaying the discounted price on the
   label of the product. Means discount deducted from the actual price
   were not shown; they were deducted later at the counter during
   payment. It made a negative impact on the purchasing of the products
   by customers. So staff members have to put the offered prices on the
   product itself, as customers may not see the discount board.

2. Chocolate counter should be displayed near the Toy section so that it
  can easily attract the attention of Kids.

3. Sometimes the shelves remain empty. So it is the task of salesperson
   to put all the products, which are lacking on the shelf or which have
   been finished on the shelf.

4. The section containing curtain fabric should be removed from the
   household section because of very less sales and turnover. It also
   occupies lot of shelf space in the section.

5. There should be some sitting arrangements in Big bazaar, as the old
   people & children get tired & wanted to sit somewhere.

6. The quality of Garments & Plastics should be improved. Means some
   good brands should also maintained in Big bazaar.

A project report on customer feedback at big bazaar

  • 3. It gives me immense pleasure to acknowledge my deep sense of gratitude to ……………….. (Marketing Head) & …………………… (Departmental Head) for providing me an opportunity to enlighten me from their rich & varied experience during the different stages of my training. The efforts put by me during the development of this project would not have been a success, had it not been for the people around me, who encouraged & help me at all times. I am also thankful to ………………. (Stores Manager) who encouraged me a lot. I am grateful to my friends & parents who helped me during the different stages of my project. I owe this moment of satisfaction with a deep sense of gratitude to my Management Department who motivated me right from the beginning. The interest, skillful continuous guidance & constant supervision at every stage of project have been the greatest help to me to bring out this work in its present form.
  • 4. I, …………………, the student of M.B.A. (III sem), TIT&S Bhiwani, hereby declare that I have completed this project myself during summer training under the title “CUSTOMER FEEDBACK” in Gurgaon, for a period of 8 weeks started from 4th June to 4th August. All the information is wholly my own and original and not copied from anywhere else.

  • 7. Retailing occupies a pre-eminent position in all economies. Retailing includes all those activities that involve the sale of goods and services to ultimate consumers for personal, family and household use. Indian consumers are always known for its price sensitivity. Change in Indian retailing has been constant but the pace of development is fast over past few years. According to survey conducted by CII & McKinsey, the total number of retail outlets in India are more than 12 million. The survey estimated that retail segment in India contributes more than 10% to the GDP and employs around 8% of the total workforce. The high contribution is attributable to the fact that India has the largest retail outlet destiny relative to population. Compared to the number of retail outlets per 1000 people, India has 5-10 retail outlets where as it is just 3.7 in US. This itself highlights the extent of retail penetration in India. Now the Indian Retail Industry is moving from unorganized retail to organized retail. Organized retail include departmental stores, hyper markets, discount stores etc. where all shopping needs of the consumers are met at one place like that of home needs, apparels, beauty, toys, food, electronics etc. Gone are the days when consumers needed to visit a no of places to address their shopping list. Small shops, niche shops made that type of shopping expensive and inconvenient. But now all small needs can be met through big departmental stores, which make the shopping convenient for consumers by providing consumer durable and consumer perishables under a single roof. Organized retail is a big revolution to Indian economy, which not only contribute to convenient shopping but also contribute to national growth. Just think! In a country where 96 percent of the retail outlets are packed into less than 500 square feet, but the average size of these kind of departmental stores is around 15,000 square feet. In a country where departmental store refereed to well segregated godown, but now it means big retail store where all FMCGs are available under one roof.
  • 8. TRADITIONAL VIEW: India is the country having the most unorganized retail market. Traditionally the retail business is run in a shop in the front of the house. Making India a nation of shopkeepers. The estimated number of outlets in India was 5.37 million in 1999. This means at least 5.5 outlets per 1000 people, the highest number of outlets per capita in the world. These outlets however, barely come within the organized sector. But now the number has increased to 12 million. The retailing landscape is dominated by small independent outlets, which have less than 500-sq.feet space but together contribute an extraordinary 96% of total resale. But now the retailing landscape has increased to 15000-sq.feet space. The manufacturers use to distribute goods through C&F agents to distributors & wholesalers. Retailers happen to source the merchandise from wholesalers & reach to end-users. Retailers are the last stage in supply chain, the merchandise price used to get inflated to a great extent till it reaches from manufacturer to end user. Manufacturer does not largely control selling prices. All the merchandise is purchased as per the test & vim and fancies of the proprietor also the pricing is done on ad hoc basis or by seeing the face of the customer. Generally the accounts of trading & home are not maintained separately. Profits are accumulated in slow moving & non-moving stocks, which become redundant or consumed in-house. Thus profits were vanished without their knowledge.
  • 9. CHANGING VIEW: Since Indian industry is showing changing faces, the retail industry is not an exception. Indian consumer wants big in less time. With the changing time, people are more occupied with work, office, family and children. With this change in their lifestyle their consuming pattern has also changed. It changed the shape of retail market into big retail formats i.e. shopping malls, departmental stores, hypermarkets, super bazaars. The biggest unorganized retail sector is changing to organized sector. Though it will take time as the society is dominated by nukkar walas, kirana shops, niche shops etc. the success stories of Pantaloons, Lifestyles and many more are showing the trend of potential organized retail market. UPCOMING ORGANIZED RETAIL SECTOR: In the opening of 21st century, there is evidence of new forms of retailing. The retail market is becoming more segmented with retail formats focusing on the needs of a particular consumer groups. The traditional forms of independently owned small business and co-operatives are losing their market share in big areas, metro cities and satellite areas. Now they are characterized by large scale multiple chains run by powerful and sophisticated organizations like super bazaars, kendriya bhandar. Hypermarkets, departmental stores and discount stores.

Pantaloons,Gurgaon 58,000 Total Area 2,71,000 BUSINESS MODEL: It has been calculated that most Indian retail companies enjoy a margin of 28 percent on sales. But the retail cost, estimated at 28 percent of sales generally leaves them with a little to cover H.O. expenses. This explains why most organized retailers in India struggle to break even. Faced with challenging scenario, Pantaloons rewrote some rules. •It introduced private labels as opposed to selling only popular brands. •Pantaloons prudently selected apparel as a volumedriver. It manufactured 40 percent of all the garments that it put on its shelves. •It eliminated supply-chain inefficiencies, reduced costs and passed these savings to customers. •It offered an exchange policy with no questions asked. •It created two product categories to attract the customer with low margin products and to attract customers buying on an impulse, translating into higher margins.
  • 16. Big bazaar ‘Isse Sasta Aur Acha Kahin Nahin’ is the hypermarket discount store initiative of the company (Pantaloon) commissioned to address the discount & bargain-hunting tendency of the Indian shopper. Firstly Big Bazaar was set up across 50,000 Sq. ft. in Kolkatta. Driven by the resounding success of the concept, four Big Bazaars were rolled out across 2,00,000 Sq. ft. in Hyderabad, Bangalore, & Mumbai. These include Men’s, Ladies, children apparel, utensils, kitchenware, stationery, luggage, toys, optical products, a photo studio & an STD booth among others. Big Bazaar has more than 50 sales offers across its countries at any time & these discounts range from 6 to 60%. The magic of the concept is reflected in the footfall. Big Bazaar attracts more than 5,00,000 shoppers every month. More importantly, it has emerged as the first organized store to reach out to a broad customer spectrum-from a village to a wealthy businessman. At Big Bazaar, price was the principal value proposition at these stores. The store sold a variety of products 5 to 60% lower than the corresponding market price. Schemes of Big bazaar are very popular like ‘buy two get one free’. Also positioning & product availability in Big Bazaar gained a higher share of the customer’s shopping basket.
  • 17. Food Bazaar ‘Ab Ghar Chalaana Kitna Aasaan!’ In July 2002, Big Bazaar made a challenging extension: It entered the Food Retail with a 9,000 Sq. ft. Food bazaar at its lower parel store in Mumbai. Enthused by the phenomenal response, the company has set up Food Bazaar in other Big Bazaar stores also. The company’s reason for entering Food retail were:  Food spending at 53% of personal income outstripped every other itemized spending in India.  Despite this high spending, the role of organized food retail in the country’s total food spend was just one percent.  Within this under penetration, an interesting pattern was noticed: organized food retail was estimated to be the fastest growing retail segment.  The demand for organized food retail is expected to increase ten-fold in the next four years based on the following trends: domestic help becoming expensive as well as the increasing incidence of nuclear families & working women. Business model: The company’s Food Bazaar was adapted to the Indian environment. To attract regular bazaar-goers, a mandi was created within the Food Bazaar where consumers could touch, feel, pick & choose products. This choice was supplemented by the provision for packaged food for the westernized shoppers.
  • 18. Food Bazaar prices were priced at wholesale rates below the MRP. Private labels were introduced for high margin & price-sensitive products like tea, salt and oil. Products: The Food Bazaar stocked an average of 11,000 SKUs. This includes provisions, vegetables and fresh produce, FMCG products, bakery products, basic staples, cereals, pulses, cooking oils, flour, spices, dry fruit, health food, baby food, dairy products, drinks, beverages as well as ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook products. The incidence of special purchase offers and discounts made shopping at Food Bazaar highly affordable. Not surprisingly, within three months of launch, Food Bazaar emerged as the highest single point sales outlet for FMCG giants. Based on overwhelming success, the company launched Food Bazaar in each Big Bazaar. Therefore it had increased the footfalls in very large amount. So company Pantaloon has decided to blend food and grocery with apparel. Result: food and grocery created the footfall & apparels generated the profit.
  • 19. Nation Builder: Pantaloon is not just another retailer. It is a nation builder this is why it is their conviction that while the majority of Indian retail stimulates the national economy, they don’t contribute directly to it, simply because they are unorganized & hence, outside the purview of the country’s taxation system. Pantaloon is proud to contribute directly to national growth through their organized retail platforms, which generates revenue not just for the company but also for exchequer. Effective Strategy: The effective strategy at Pantaloons is to build a successful traffic plans & an effective margin strategy to obtain perfection. On the one hand, a better quality of store, Promotion & Visual Merchandise has translated into increasing footfalls across all the stores. Pantaloon also has developed specific categories like accessories, cosmetics, artificial jewelers, household articles & the in-hose restaurant, which enjoy sustained customer off take. Over time company has opted to make a large quantity of the biggest contributor- clothing- within its factories & under its own labels, translating into higher margins. Uniqueness Being First: In a country of more than 12 million retail outlets, the company that thinks laterally is the one that makes a difference.  In a country where 96% retail outlets are packed into less than 500 Sq. ft., the average size of Pantaloon’s retail outlet is around 15,000 sq.ft.  In a country, which grew up with the tradition of carrying cut piece lengths to the corner tailoring store, the company has launched the concept of the readymade branded trousers.
  • 20.  In a country where ‘shirt’ meant plane white & tucked outside the trousers, Pantaloon created a popular segment under the brand name of ‘John Miller’.  In a country, where a store was an outlet in a single location, Pantaloon introduced a nationwide franchisee model under ‘men’s wear retail’.  In a country where ‘factory outlet’ referred to a place that sold defective goods at a discount, the company introduced a place that sold contemporary first-rate goods at an attractive price.  In a country where ‘departmental store’ refereed to a well-segregated godown, Pantaloons introduced a first rate retail format.  In a country where a discount store was a place that sold goods at an attractive markdown for sometime in the year, the company introduced a store where the discount was institutionalized into its 365-day business model.  In a country where retailers were content with having specialized store in one city, Pantaloon opened a chain of stores in 10 cities of India.

To popularize discounts, Big Bazaar circulated a Patrika with offer like: “Kanchan frying pan worth Rs. 250/- free with Dawat premium Basmati rice worth Rs. 310/-” and “ Buy two bottles of Haveli pickles, Get the third free”. The magic of the concept is reflected in footfall, Big Bazaar attracts more than 500000 shoppers every month. More importantly, it has emerged as the first organized store to reach out to a broad customer spectrum- from a villager to a wealthy businessman. In addition to the attractive price differential, Big Bazaar’s draw was its unusual offer: that the customer could not locate similar product at a lower sticker price elsewhere within 10 days, then the customer would be entitled to gift voucher worth twice the amount of the difference! Besides, the Shop- in-Shop concept also maximized footfalls. Thanks to its positioning and product availability, the Big Bazaar stores gained a higher share of the costumer’s shopping basket. The Big Bazaar stores contributed Rs. 55.88 Cr to the company’s turnover in 2001-02 (including Shop-in-Shop sales of Rs. 12.87 Cr).

The non apparel categories include plastics items, footwear toys, luggage, appliance white goods and stationery.
  • 27. Visual Merchandising: In a brand-cluttered world, Visual Merchandising helps to create the excitement that transforms a customer’s in-store interest into purchase. Visual Merchandising is a scientific management of store space. Its role is to adequately display products, highlight discounted products, position products on shelves and design posters in a manner that increases the customer interest and leads logically to a transaction. As a result, effective Visual Merchandising informs, showcases and converts. Ay pantaloons, they work with architecture design professionals who make an intelligent use of shelf talkers, high points, focal point displays, signage’s, danglers and window display.

  • 31. I have done my training in the “Big Bazaar”, division of the Pantaloon (Gurgaon) in Sahara Mall. The title of my project is “customer feedback” which was conducted with the way of questionnaire by getting the response of regular customers in the household section of Big Bazaar. It was a good experience as how to conduct with various people & how to get different information from different customers. Customer Feedback: Customer feedback is very necessary practice in marketing because with the help of this, a marketer can know his customer’s attitudes about their products. By taking customer feedback the marketer can make necessary improvement in his product according to the requirements of the customers. Nowadays, it becomes a common practice that every company is taking the customers feedbacks from any of the methods like through websites or e-mails. According to planet_customer.com companies like Cadbury India, Godrej Soaps, Voltas, Johnson & Johnson, Raymond, Eureka Forbes and Dabur etc. have already registered at the site & customers can send their feedback through to them. Through net customers can communicate with the companies directly- for complaints, compliments, suggestions and even questions. Many FMCG product’s producers are providing their e-mail addresses or websites at the backside of the wrapper, in order to built a link between customers & producers. They listen to different queries of customers & provide assurance about the quality of product.

  • 34. Summer Training is an integral part of the professional courses. In classroom studies main concentration is on the theoretical portion while the main objective of summer training is to impart practical knowledge to the college professional students. I did my summer training in Gurgaon. My specialization area was marketing. In today’s competitive scenario, marketing plays a major role. I have chosen survey in marketing in order to get the practical experience that is, how to conduct with various people, explaining them the motto behind the survey, convince them to chat with me & to collect information about “customer feedback” of Pantaloon in marketing. Customer’s attitude was being recognized by the way of questionnaire, which was prepared by myself. The questionnaire clearly defines the attitude of different persons by getting the feedback or response from them. In such a competitive environment, the survival is of fittest. Those who can know & understand the needs of consumers can produce the products of the consumer’s attitude most effectively, & thereby they are the survival in the long run. Those who are not able to do that are left behind in the race of competition. So it is extremely important to know the attitude of the consumer and adopt the Business strategies according to their needs and wants. I have drafted the questionnaire and then did a survey in Big Bazaar section of Pantaloon. Then I did analysis of the customer’s responses and the findings of the research have been presented in the report.
  • 36. A research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. In Research Methodology we study the various steps that are generally adopted by researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Information is the lifeblood of managerial decision-making. The purpose of methodology section is to describe the research procedure by which the relevant information is gathered. This section comprises the research design, the data collection method, the sampling procedures and analysis procedures. Research Methodology includes:  Research Design  Sample Design  Data Collection  Data Analysis RESEARCH DESIGN: A Research design is the overall plan or program of research. It is the general blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. It includes an outline of what the investigator will do from writing the hypothesis and their operational implications to the final analysis of data. It is the overall operational pattern or framework of the project that stipulates what information is to be collected, from which sources and by which procedure.
  • 37. Depending upon the objective of the study there are four research designs available:  Exploratory Research  Descriptive Research  Diagnostic Research  Experimental Research Exploratory research: It means to gain the familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insight into it. Studies with this object in view are termed as exploratory or formularize research studies. Descriptive research: In this type of research, researcher has to portray accurately the characteristics of particular individual, group or situation. Diagnostic research: It deals with determing the frequency with which something occurs or with which something associated with something else. Experimental research: It is used to test a hypothesis for causal relationship that is the cause & effect relationship.  Research design used during project: I’ve taken “EXPLORATELY RESERCH DESIGN” for my project.
  • 38. Population: It is the target group, which the researcher wants to know about by studying one or more of its samples. To be complete, a population must be very explicitly defined in terms of elements, sampling units, extent and time.  Population taken: GURGAON Sampling Procedure: Sampling is simply the process of learning about the population on the basis of a sample drawn from it. Thus, in the sampling technique instead of every unit of the universe only a part of the universe is studied and the conclusions are drawn on that basis for the entire universe. A sample is a subset of population units. The process of sampling involves three elements:  Selecting the sample,  Collecting the information, and  Making an inference about the population. On the basis of sample study we can predict and generalize the behavior of mass phenomenon.  The method of sampling used during project: “CONVENIENCE SAMPLING” Sampling Unit: The sampling unit is the basic unit containing the elements of the population to be sampled. It may be the element itself, i.e., the object on which measurements are taken or a unit in which the element is contained.  Sampling unit chosen for the project: “INDIVIDUAL” Sample Size: “100”
  • 39. Data Collection Method: Depending on the source, statistical data are classified under two categories: 1) Primary Data 2) Secondary Data  Data used during project: “PRIMARY DATA” Primary data are obtained by a study specifically designed to fulfill the data needs of the problem at hand. Such data are original in character and are generated in large number of surveys.  Method of data collection used: “QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD” Limitations: 1. People in Gurgaon are very large in number. We used random sample and convenient sample method. Actual information couldn’t be taken from these people because they were large in numbers. 2. As the sample size was only 100, so it cannot be a true representative of the whole Gurgaon. 3. We had very less time to complete this study. To cover all the people it requires lot of time and money. 4. Some people did not have interest in the questionnaire, because of less time. They didn’t response well. So it affected the results of the study.

  • 56. As the slogan of Big Bazaar “Isse Sasta Aur Acha Kahin Nahin”, has been attracted most of the customers which directly affects on the increase in number of footfalls of customers in Big Bazaar. As what I have observed that slogan attracts many number of customers and ultimately affects on increase in number of footfalls in Big Bazaar. The offers and discounts also attract lot of customers to purchase items from Big Bazaar rather than outside. Also convenient shopping and self-service attracts the customers. According to my survey a great number of population are very much satisfied with the availability & accessibility of products in Big Bazaar. But there are many complaints regarding the quality of Plastics & Garments In Big Bazaar. Customers found most of the items in Plastics were damaged &told that they are not long lasting. But the purchasing of Plastics was in bulk as they are cheaper than other items. So purchasing percentage of Plastics were more. In the appliances section, the purchasing percentage of customers was less than others, because the customers want to buy them from the exclusive shops like LG & all. The number of appliances purchased from Big Bazaar was less. There were a large percentage of customers who are highly satisfied with the price level. They feel reasonable prices in Big Bazaar as well as in food bazaar. But some people didn’t agree with the slogan ‘Sasta Price’ in Big Bazaar as they feel the prices are quite similar to that of the market price. As what I have observed that middle class families are highly satisfied with the price level. RECOMMENDATIONS
  • 57. 1. In the household section some products consisting of Barcode showing the prices, were not displaying the discounted price on the label of the product. Means discount deducted from the actual price were not shown; they were deducted later at the counter during payment. It made a negative impact on the purchasing of the products by customers. So staff members have to put the offered prices on the product itself, as customers may not see the discount board. 2. Chocolate counter should be displayed near the Toy section so that it can easily attract the attention of Kids. 3. Sometimes the shelves remain empty. So it is the task of salesperson to put all the products, which are lacking on the shelf or which have been finished on the shelf. 4. The section containing curtain fabric should be removed from the household section because of very less sales and turnover. It also occupies lot of shelf space in the section. 5. There should be some sitting arrangements in Big bazaar, as the old people & children get tired & wanted to sit somewhere. 6. The quality of Garments & Plastics should be improved. Means some good brands should also maintained in Big bazaar.
