Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar helps society in general by providing goods and services in reasonable price and increasing their standards of living. Retailing activity can be viewed as a significant contributor to the economy in general. Retailing is the set of activities that markets products or services to final consumers for their own personal or household use. It does this by organizing their availability on a relatively large scale and supplying them to consumers on a relatively small scale. Retailing makes products and services available in large quantities. Retailers produce or order the products/services in bulk so they can take advantage of economy of scale and thus they can formulate competitive pricing strategies. Products and services are generally sold through the store or on the internet.
Introduction to Retail Industry The first decade of modern retail in India has been characterized by a shift from traditional kirana shops to new formats including department stores, specialty stores hypermarkets, and supermarkets and across a range of categories. Modern retail formats have mushroomed in metros and mini-metros. In the last few years, modern retail has also established its presence in the small cities, exposing residents to shopping options like never before. Some of these stores are branded stores(exclusive showrooms either owned or franchised out by a manufacturer) , specialty stores(greater choice to consumer, comparison between brands is possible) , department stores/supermarkets (one stop shop catering to varied consumer needs) , hyper-mart (low prices , vast choice available including services such as cafeterias.) , shopping malls (variety of shops available to each other ).
An overview on Retail Revolution in India
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
Page 3
Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar Retail in India is on a cusp of transformation. Organized retailing as a professional serviceoriented set-up, is a recent phenomenon in India but is growing at a tremendous pace with a potential of creating over 2 million new (direct) jobs within the next six years, assuming an 8 to 10 per cent share of organized retailing in the total retail business. The fast changing retail environment demands that professionals learn new skills, improve their efficiency, learn to compete and think out of the box. As retailers work directly with customers and there is need for good managerial talent to interpret and satisfy the needs and desires of customers. All this requires an education that is intensive, comprehensive and closely linked to the retail business world. The need is to have a program which has all the inherent features of a business management program and includes experiential learning throughout the program. Market Trends, Challenges & Opportunities 1. Across BRIC countries, the food and grocery (F&G) segment is clearly driving retail growth. For eg, retail food sales dominate the total retail market in Brazil, accounting for almost 54 percent of the total retail sales, while Russia is the fastest growing retail food sales market in the world, with the potential to again double in size by 2008. 2. The prevalence of English as a language of communication to a very great extent facilitates material sourcing and business communication. While India and Russia pose no problems in this regard, Brazil and China present communication problems for foreign companies. 3. The importance of governments that are quick on decision-making and passing liberal trade laws cannot be emphasized enough. In China, for instance, being a non-democratic country makes it easier for foreign investors to do business sans bureaucratic red-tapism (in comparison to a democratic country like India), the obvious reason being that the political establishment is not directly accountable to the people.
Page 4
Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar 4. Growing urbanization and metropolitan saturation is leading to the expansion of retail formats and investment opportunities towards tier-II cities and rural hubs across all four countries. 5. Continued economic reforms together with the growth of organised retail (especially in the F&G segment) have led to growing rural incomes, triggering off far-reaching, social impacts. The upcoming Golden Quadrilateral' plan for roadways in India, which is to connect the four cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, will have massive economic and social repercussions on rural and semi-rural clusters along the vast network. In China too, the government plans to create a rural retail network covering 70 percent of all villages by 2008.
Retail and India
Page 5
Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar India's imminent urbanization process has implications for demand for housing, urban infrastructure, location of retail, and demand for consumer durables. The on-stream infrastructure development will drive growth in the transportation sector, spur demand for vehicles, increase real estate values along the Golden Quadrilateral corridor, and potentially boost construction of suburban homes as people escape congested cities. Plus, it will open up thousands of villages en route to a global audience and effectively integrate them with the growing Indian economy. Growth of the Retail market, to a great extent, is the dependent on the size of the country's consuming class and the rate of growth of GDP, especially disposable incomes. India is the world's second most populous country and its GDP growth is likely to surpass that of China by 2015. It is estimated that India's GDP will surpass that of the US before 2050, to make it the world's second largest economy. Reflecting on the robust growth in India's GDP, consumer expenditure (in current prices) grew at a relatively high pace of nearly 10 percent per annum over the past two years. India's advantage lies in the fact that it has the largest young population in the world over 890 million Indians are below 45 years of age. The median age for India is 25 years as compared to 28 years for Brazil, 33 years for China and 38 years for Russia. There are more English speaking people in India than on the European continent. The retailing industry in India, estimated at USD 270 Billion in 2006, is expected to double to USD 440 Billion by 2010.
The size of the organized retailing market in 2006 stood at USD 12.4 Billion in 2006, thereby making up a mere 4.7 percent of the total retailing market. Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 6
Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar Of the total retail market, food and grocery retail is by far the single largest block estimated to be worth a whopping Rs.642, 200 crore, but more than 99 percent of this market is dominated by the neighborhood mom & pop stores. Clothing, textiles and fashion accessories constitute the second largest block. For the year 2007, the India Apparel Report 2007 expects growth of organized retail to touch 40 percent. From 2008 onwards (until at least 2010), organized retail is expected to register around 45 percent YoY growth in India. Total retail in India, which registered 5.7 percent YoY growth from 2004-2006, to range between that and 6 percent YoY growth over the next 3-4 years. With these growth percentages and following from our estimates for 2006, the future estimates* for organized retail in India: 2007 Rs.77, 000 crore; 2008 Rs.111, 500 crore; 2009 Rs.162,000 crore; and 2010 Rs.235,000 crore. (*Estimates based on 2006 prices). In terms of formats, the energy in terms of new investments is expected to be driven towards the supermarkets and hypermarket segments. All new players Reliance Industries, Bharti Retail/ Wal-Mart, AV Birla Group have shown interest towards developing these two formats, along with wholesale, cash & carry outlets, while India's largest retailer Retail India Ltd. has a continuous store rollout schedule for its Big Bazaar hypermarkets and Food Bazaar supermarkets.

26th January, 2006... Indias Sabse Sasta Din

The acceptance and loyalty that Big Bazaar has garnered over the years, was well evident on 26th January 2006. On the day India celebrates its Republic Day, the company honoured the consumer by calling it the Maha Savings Day. Shoppers at all Big Bazaar and Food Bazaar outlets across the country were offered products at prices never heard before in the history of shopping. The offers were spread across categories from electronics to utensils, from apparel to furniture and food. This event received tremendous response from the regular and an entirely new set of shoppers, which resulted in nearly 2 million people visiting the stores on that day. And most stores were able to post record sales for a single day. Pan India Model Riding on the consumption boom that the country has been witnessing over the past couple of years, the company further expanded its foray into the value space by adding 10 stores during the year 2005-06, entering new cities like Vishakapatnam, Pune, Lucknow, Indore, Mangalore and Rajkot. The excellent performance of these new stores, further fortified the mass appeal of Big Bazaar as a true, family-shopping destination. The total number of Big Bazaar outlets as on June 2006 stood at 30 stores and over 1.20 million square feet of retail space.

Fashion got a further fillip through the standardization of the visual merchandise at all existing and new stores. The communication focused on it being the fashion destination of the masses. Big Bazaar Getting Bigger An interesting development has been the increase in the categories and micro merchandising at Big Bazaar. New categories like consumer electronics, furniture, communication, food and beverage, pharmacies, beauty retail, salons, books, stationery and music are being added and Big Bazaar is getting bigger in space. A Big Bazaar store measuring more than 150,000 square feet opened in Bangalore in October 2006. This takes Big Bazaar to the next level.

Recommendation
Awareness level of big bazaar is very good thus big bazaar has to maintain the this level of awareness in the minds of the customers. Big Bazaar has to still add on more products under it umbrella, so that most customers needs are being meet. Big Bazaar has to make some unique changes in its llok and ambience of the store. Big Bazaar has to provide some services to their customers like home delivery. Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 79
Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar Big Bazaar should come up with great offers to increse the walk in and converte the customers who visit monthly into weekly and daily. Big Bazaar has to build a trust between the customer and the organization by running some events for the loyal customers, i.e. carring out some CRM practices. The quality in terms of the product should be improved because the % is less of the respondents who are highly satisfied. The ambience should be improved in big bazaar, in terms of neatness, proper parking facility, store space, etc. The employee should be given training for a better customer service. The employee should be given proper product knowledge.. Big bazaar should come up with a food court so that customers can even enjoy food in big bazaar. Big bazaar should have different brands in mens wear, womens wear, and kids. Big bazaar should have to conduct some contest for the customers. Food bazaar should have food items even in small packets, so that customers can buy according to their need. Big bazaar should employ some part time employees in the weekends, to have proper control on customer.
Limitations of the project

The customers were covered in and around the above areas only and cannot be treated as the survey and the responses of the Hubli as a whole. As the study was conducted as a part of the curriculum, the time available to procure data restrained the sample to 100 customers. As customers were reluctant and scared to provide actual information, response is likely to be biased in some cases. Some customers were unaware of some items. Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 80
Brand Positioning of Big Bazaar Some of the customers responded very well to the questionnaires and were grateful to the product what they have purchased but some of them even did not bothered to allow me to interact with them because they didnt want to spend their time. The report is based on the information collected from the respondents.
