c) Industry profile:
The Indian Retail sector has caught the worlds imagination in the last few years. Topping the list of most attractive retail destination list for three years in a row, it had retail giants like Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco sizing up potential partners entering. Indias retail growth is largely driven by increasing disposable incomes, Favorable demographics, changing lifestyles, growth of the middle class segment and a high potential for penetration into urban and rural markets. However, with the onset of the global financial crisis, Indian retailers have been suffering from the effects of rapid credit squeeze, high operating costs and low customer confidence. What can we expect in the coming years? Figure 1: Private label matrix Position of India vis--vis UK
Key expected trends in the Indian private label market: Mapping against the UK
The retail industry in India is still nascent, as compared to matured markets such as the United Kingdom. The retail market in India is currently estimated to be close to USD 200 billion. This is expected to grow at more than 40 per cent per annum
during 2007-09. Unlike the United Kingdom, the Indian retail industry is highly fragmented. Organised retail constitutes a meager 3 per cent (USD 6.4 billion) of the retail market in India. Its share is estimated to reach 9 per cent, or USD 23 billion, by 2010. As indicated by these figures, organised retail would still be a marginal component of the total market in the near future.
Private labels or store brands have been found to trigger customer loyalty. The basic objective behind introducing private labels is to offer quality products at lower prices compared to the national brands. India is considered one among the top five emerging retail destinations in Asia and 11th promising retail destination globally. This is largely due to the expansion strategies adopted by business groups like the Future Group, the Tatas, the Goenkas and the Rahejas. The ever increasing retail clutter has forced retailers to differentiate themselvesintroducing private labels has differentiation strategy. been one such
Retailers basically go for imitating national brands in terms of quality and packaging. Although there are instances where store brands are successfully introduced, there are several challenges involved as far as introducing and sustaining store brands are concerned. Worldwide experience shows that as retailers become more powerful, they have increasingly focused on their own brands at the expense of manufacturer brands. Another factor driving retailers towards foraying into store brands is the current economic slowdown, globally. Companies are also stepping up the introduction of private labels as margin on the products can be as high as 30 per cent compared with 10 per cent on branded products. The slowdown is also forcing consumer preference towards cheaper products, a trend also known as down-trading, which in turn is also helping boost sales of private labels. Taking on the might of MNCs with its private brands, the Future Group, Indias top retailer, is now poised to pit itself in a big way against the manufacturers like HUL, Bombay Dyeing and Samsung in categories ranging from FMCG to apparels to consumer durables. Some of the Groups top private labels include John Miller, Indigo Nation, DJ&C in apparel, Tasty Treat, Care Mate, Fresh n Pure in FMCG and Koryo and Sensei in consumer durables. Rival Reliance Retail is entering the store brand segment in a major way. Interestingly, Reliance Retail derives around 80% business in the large format stores from private labels, particularly in the garments business. While its private labels in the commodity foods segment are Reliance Value and Reliance Select, it is launching, in a phased manner, private labels in the nonfood FMCG category. It has launched floor cleaning products under the Expelz label and Sudz washing powder recently. Others like More of AV Birla Group and Westside of Tatas too are stepping up their presence in this arena. However, retailers face slew of challenges. First and foremost, there is a lack of supply chain sophistication among Indian retailers. Most retailers still exchange information manually with suppliers. Indian retailers
are yet to implement bar-coding techniques properly, let alone sophisticated technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID). There is also a lack of integrated IT systems, coupled with low overall IT spending.
As is evident, Indian retailers have a long way to go before they can be compared with international retailers such as Tesco and Wal-Mart, in terms of technology and supply chain sophistication. Further, while it is widely acknowledged that the real' potential in Indian retail lies in rural areas, the rural retail scenario continues to be unorganized and highly fragmented. While FMCG manufacturers such as Hindustan Unilever and ITC continue their efforts to solve the rural retail jigsaw' through projects such as Shakthi and e-Choupal, major retailers have tended to stay away from the rural scene.
d) REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Umbrella Brand An umbrella brand is an overarching brand used across multiple related products. Umbrella branding is also known as family branding. It contrasts with individual product branding, in which each product in a portfolio is given a unique brand name and identity. There are often economies of scope associated with umbrella branding since multiple products can be efficiently promoted with a single advertisement or campaign. Umbrella branding facilitates new product introductions by providing a familiar brand name, which can lead to trial purchase, product acceptance, or other advantages. Umbrella branding may impose on the brand owner a greater burden to maintain consistent quality. If the quality of one product in the brand family is compromised, it could impact on the reputation of all the others. For this reason umbrella branding is generally limited to product lines that consist of products of similar quality. A good example is AMUL - Amul Butter, Amul Cheese, Amul Milk, Amul Icecream, Amul Chocolates etc Store brands are a line of products sold by a retailer under a single marketing identity. They bear a similarity to the concept of House brands, Private label brands (PLBs) in the United States, own brands in the UK, and home brands in Australia and generic brands. But they are distinct in that a store brand is managed solely by the retailer for sale in only a specific chain of store. The retailer will design the manufacturing, packaging and marketing of the goods in order to build on the relationship between the products and the store's customer base. Store-brand goods are generally cheaper than national-brand goods because the retailer can optimize the production to suit consumer demand and
reduce advertising costs. Goods sold under a store brand are subject to the same regulatory oversight as goods sold under a national brand.
Certain brands of products that are only available at a particular store, usually a chain store, are called store brands. Store brand products are often available for a discounted price, and are popular with those trying to keep their spending to a minimum. In some stores, they can even make up 40 to 50 percent of the total sales, and may be 15 to 50 percent cheaper than the national name brand products. Store brands are usually similar in quality to the name brand products, although some food products may be of a slightly lesser quality. Paper and personal products usually perform just as well, if not better, than name brand items. The packaging for store brand items is usually very close in resemblance to name brand merchandise, with the same colors often used for both products. Stores will often put their store brand on the shelves right next to the comparable name brand product, encouraging shoppers to quickly and easily compare the prices and ingredients of the two items. Individual Branding: Individual branding, also called individual product branding or multi
branding, is the marketing strategy of giving each product in a portfolio its own unique brand name. This contrasts with family branding, corporate branding, and umbrella branding in which the products in a product line are given a single overarching brand name. The advantage of individual branding is that each product has an image and identity that is unique. This facilitates the positioning of each product, by allowing a firm to position its brands differently. Examples of individual product branding include Procter & Gamble, which markets multiple brands such as Pampers, and Unilever, which markets individual brands such as Dove.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Create awareness & manage home delivery services properly. There should be proper assortment of in store product categories. Proper signage should be there so that customer can locate the products easily. Proper training should be provided to sales person so that they can deal with the customer efficiently. Various schemes and offers can be provided to them and attract new customers (Use pull strategy). No. of cash counter needs to be increased keeping in view customer traffic intensity. Quality in private brands should be increased up to mark.
g) CONCLUSION
The performance of private labels of Foodworld is upto the mark. Customers prefer to buy private labels than multinational brands due to significant price differential. And one thing in Foodworld is which makes it more effective is its safe and cheaper home delivery service. At last I want to share this quotation from retail management book; Todays private label brands need to embody the attitude and demeanor of an own brand. Own brands are relevant to the broadest set of audiences. The trade feels an affinity and desire for the own brand to prosper. The consumer is loyal to own brands and seeks them out as an integral part of his/her lifestyle. The retailer celebrates and nurtures the own brand as a vital embodiment of its brand proposition that will build and sustain a greater degree of loyalty.
