Preface
Until recently, a major part of the demand was met by the unorganized, produced by informal, large small Indian sector. Branded shoes, producers, multinationals

producing in India and imports, account for only less than 20% of the entire market. The branded footwear market is estimated to be 100 million pairs, made up of 5 million pairs of spore ts and athletic shoes and nearly 95 million pairs of shoes and boots. The segment is dominated by mens footwear, and there are not more than three womens brands known nationally. Footwear market is estimated at 550 million pairs, of which 450 million pairs are in the form of casual footwear, such Indias total as ethnic footwear, rubber and leather slippers, sandals etc, but not boots and shoes. Leather footwear has a sizeable share, and production is estimated to be at 200 million pairs, including for exports. The footwear market is expected to grow at 8-10%, based on recent trends. In value terms, the sector represents a market of US$ 2.17 billion, of which exports account for approximately 35%.

Both Bata and Liberty have launched international brands in India through tie-ups: Bata with Hush Puppies, Liberty with Burberrys. An interesting feature of the market is the presence of several international players in the informal and sport shoes segment, which has a total market of only 5 million pairs. The major MNC players are Reebok, Adidas and Nike. Italian brands Lotto and Fila have franchise tie-ups in India, although the brand is not aggressively promoted.

INTRODUCTION

Inroduction of Liberty
Liberty sells an estimated 50,000 pairs of shoes to men, women and kids on any given day. Casual, chic and comfort are the benchmarks that attract buyers to Liberty fashion shoes in more than 25 countries. Its dozen brands are liberally showcased in online shoe shops at enviable prices and fantastic designs.

Liberty Shoes began its journey when India was coming to grips with becoming an independent republic. The founders were P.D. Gupta, D.P. Gupta and R.K. Bansal. The year was 1954. The day was Christmas. The city chosen was Karnal, Haryana. The company named Liberty Shoes Limited (LSL). The aim was to offer freedom of choice to the Indian consumer. The three pioneers took over a dying shoe co-operative to turn it into a world-renowned footwear manufacturer and seller. Liberty Shoes Limited (LSL) began as exporters of uppers. Within a decade, it tied-up with a retail outlet in Hungary to provide stylish, smart and comfy Liberty fashion shoes. There has been no looking back for the company. Its presence has grown from a single showroom to 350 exclusive showrooms and more than 6,000 multi-brand shops. LSL also launched Liberty Retail Revolution Ltd. for the retail sector, with 'Revolutions' outlets across the metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai. Innovation and Internet for Liberty Shoes Liberty Shoes focused the attention of price-conscious consumers of the Indian market on to footwear that bespoke quality and class. Therefore, in 1982, when shoes for Rs. 50/- were a norm, LSL produced Rs. 300/- per pair of shoes with polyurethane technology. LSL kept adding to its high-class repertoire of shoes to create brands such as Force 10, Fortune,Tiptopp, Senorita, Coolers, Gliders, to name a few.

It was the 25th December of 1954 when India was nurturing its growth as a free country, three dreamers in a small town in erstwhile Punjab thought of producing an Indian brand of footwear to make a basic necessity available to their countrymen.

Within a short span of time, the name, Liberty became a synonym to quality footwear in the domestic market and this encouraged the company to invest further for enhancing production capacities and to cater to the demands of international markets.

For example in the first print campaign shown above they have targeted the youth in the age group of 14-24. They have targeted the youth in that phase of life in which they are undecided about where their life is heading, where their careers are headed and where they

In the second print campaign they have used stylish models such as Nethra Ranganathan to represent style and fashion. They have

Liberty has targeted various segments like the school college going youth, the working mothers, the stylish urban woman and children. In the above print campaigns they have targeted children and the stylish office going male. They have portrayed the child as having her own identity. They have also portrayed the urban Indian working male as stylish and a winner in all he does. They have very beautifully used the psychographics of the segments.

CONCLUSION

This project is based on the study of Customer perception and market potential about LIBERTY SHOES. The market of Liberty is prosperous & customer perception about it is good. Major findings include that although company holds a very good reputation in the market, it failed to satisfy customers on few aspects. Although the company offers very good product quality but slightly on a higher price, and few problems like unattractive designs, low customer preferences in comparison with MNCs like Nike, Reebok, bad color combination, effective presence only in northern part of the country are few problems with the Liberty. Lack of good advertising & promotional Strategies has made Liberty to fall little low in the number game. The company should improve the technology and designing process according to latest fashion and trends in the apparels market. Company is facing stiff competition from Action, Lakhani, Bata, Red Tape, Lee cooper Red Chief, Nike, Adidas, Reebok. Apart from that company can indulge in promotional activities in rural areas where market potential is really good.

NEW INITIATIVES
We have taken the initiative to create a retail team for Liberty Shoes. We foresaw that the retailers needed to take a quantum leap forward if footwear shopping was to be turned into a rewarding experience. Re-christening them as channel partners, we have worked towards establishing a very interactive

relationship through periodic channel partners meet that gives a big boost to our sales and benefits our partners as well. We also ensure that the relationship with the partners extends beyond conventional business dealings. We have achieved this by making them all feel like members of a close-knit family who is working together, evolving together and prospering together. Liberty Shoes south India initiatives
