EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Indian retail industry, one of the fastest growing industries in the country over the past
couple of years is no exception. There is no doubt that the Indian retail scene is booming.
India’s retailing boom is the result of rapid globalization and the recognition of being a very
potential market by big giants and foreign companies making the market more competitive.
This has caused existing retailer’s tore-tailor their strategies to suit the new landscapes.
This retail industry deals Food Bazaar and various sections which help the society with their
daily needs. After interaction with customers I found that they are more satisfied with the food
bazaar rather than any other products.
While working on this project various topics and concepts came to the knowledge which was
unheard and unknown before. A survey was also conducted for this project which mainly
focuses on the consumer behaviour towards Big Bazaar. It would also help in knowing the
various factors that are influence consumer behaviour and understand consumer behaviour
towards Big Bazaar. Big Bazaar has brought about many changes in the buying habits of
people.
It has created formats, which provide all items under one roof. Big Bazaar has maintained that
uniqueness& succeeded in attracting customers.
Big Bazaar is not just another hypermarket. It caters to every need of your family. Big Bazaar
scores over other stores is its value for money proposition for Indian Customers. With the ever-increasing
array of private labels, it has opened doors in the world of fashion and general
merchandise, including home furnishings, utensils, crockery, sport goods and much.

Retail is the sale of goods and services from individuals or businesses to the end-user. Retailers
are part of an integrated system called the supply chain. A retailer purchases goods or products in
large quantities from manufacturers directly or through a wholesale, and then sells smaller
quantities to the consumer for a profit. Retailing can be done in either fixed locations like stores
or markets, door-to-door or by delivery. Retailing includes subordinated services, such as delivery.
The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number
of individuals, such as for the public. Shops may be on residential streets, streets with few or no
houses or in a shopping mall. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping
street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Online retailing, a type of
electronic commerce used for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and mail order, are forms
of non-shop retailing.
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain
necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it is done as a recreational activity. Recreational
shopping often involves window shopping (just looking, not buying) and browsing and does not
always result in a purchase Etymology.
Retail comes from the Old French word trailer, which means "to cut off, clip, pare, divide" in terms
of tailoring (1365). It was first recorded as a noun with the meaning of a "sale in small quantities "
in 1433 (from the Middle French retail, "piece cut off, shred, scrap, paring"). [1] Like in French,
the word retail in both Dutch and German also refers to the sale of small quantities of items.

Types of retail outlets
 San Juan de Dios Market in Guadalajara, Jalisco
 Inside a supermarket in Russia
 Walnut Market in Katra, Jammu & Kashmir, India

A marketplace is a location where goods and services are exchanged. The traditional market square
is a city square where traders set up stalls and buyers browse the stores. This kind of market is
very old, and countless such markets are still in operation around the whole world.
In some parts of the world, the retail business is still dominated by small family-run stores, but this
market is increasingly being taken over by large retail chains.
Retail is usually classified by type of products as follows:
Food products
Hard goods or durable goods ("hardliner retailers") - appliances, electronics, furniture, sporting
goods, etc. Goods that do not quickly wear out and provide utility over time.
Soft goods or consumables - clothing, apparel, and other fabrics. Goods that are consumed after
one use or have a limited period (typically under three years) in which you may use them.
10
There are the following types of retailers by marketing strategy:
 Department stores - very large stores offering a huge assortment of "soft" and
"hard goods; often bear a resemblance to a collection of specialty stores. A retailer
of such store carries variety of categories and has broad assortment at average price.
They offer considerable customer service.
 Discount stores - tend to offer a wide array of products and services, but they
compete mainly on price offers extensive assortment of merchandise at affordable
and cut-rate prices. Normally retailers sell less fashion-oriented brands.
 Warehouse stores - warehouses that offer low-cost, often high-quantity goods
piled on pallets or steel shelves; warehouse clubs charge a membership fee;
 Variety stores - these offer extremely low-cost goods, with limited selection;
 Demographic - retailers that aim at one particular segment (e.g., high-end retailers
focusing on wealthy individuals).

 Mom-And-Pop: is a small retail outlet owned and operated by an individual or
11
family. Focuses on a relatively limited and selective set of products.
 Specialty stores: A typical speciality store gives attention to a particular category
and provides high level of service to the customers. A pet store that specializes in
selling dog food would be regarded as a specialty store. However, branded stores
also come under this format. For example if a customer visits a Reebok or Gap store
then they find just Reebok and Gap products in the respective stores.
Boutiques or Concept stores are similar to specialty stores. Concept stores are very
small in size, and only ever stock one brand. They are run by the brand that controls
them. An example of brand that distributes largely through their own widely
distributed concept stores is L'OCCITANE en Provence. The limited size and
offering of L'OCCITANE's stores are too small to be considered a specialty store
proper.
 General store : a rural store that supplies the main needs for the local community;
 Convenience stores: is essentially found in residential areas. They provide limited
amount of merchandise at more than average prices with a speedy checkout. This
store is ideal for emergency and immediate purchases as it often works with
extended hours, stocking every day;
 Hypermarkets: provides variety and huge volumes of exclusive merchandise at
low margins. The operating cost is comparatively less than other retail formats.
 Supermarkets: is a self-service store consisting mainly of grocery and limited
products on non-food items. They may adopt a Hi-Lo or an EDLP strategy for
pricing. The supermarkets can be anywhere between 20,000 and 40,000 square feet
(3,700 m2). Example: SPAR supermarket.
 Malls: has a range of retail shops at a single outlet. They endow with products, food
and entertainment under a roof.

 Category killers or Category Specialist: By supplying wide assortment in a single
category for lower prices a retailer can "kill" that category for other retailers. For
few categories, such as electronics, the products are displayed at the centre of the
store and sales person will be available to address customer queries and give
suggestions when required. Other retail format stores are forced to reduce the prices
if a category specialist retail store is present in the vicinity.
 E-tailors: The customer can shop and order through internet and the merchandise
are dropped at the customer's doorstep. Here the retailers use drop shipping
technique. They accept the payment for the product but the customer receives the
product directly from the manufacturer or a wholesaler. This format is ideal for
customers who do not want to travel to retail stores and are interested in home
shopping. However it is important for the customer to be wary about defective
products and non-secure credit card transaction. Example: Amazon, Pennyful and
eBay.
 Vending Machines: This is an automated piece of equipment wherein customers
can drop the money in the machine and acquire the products.
Some stores take a no frills approach, while others are "mid-range" or "high end",
depending on what income level they target.
Other types of retail store include:
Automated Retail stores are self-service, robotic kiosks located in airports, malls and grocery
stores. The stores accept credit cards and are usually open 24/7. Examples include ZoomShops
and Redbox. Big-box stores encompass larger department, discount, general merchandise, and
warehouse stores.
Retailers can opt for a format as each provides different retail mix to its customers based on their
customer demographics, lifestyle and purchase behaviour. A good format will lend a hand to
display products well and entice the target customers to spawn sales.

Retail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing. This involves adding a markup
amount (or percentage) to the retailer's cost. Another common technique is suggested retail pricing.
This simply involves charging the amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on
the product by the manufacturer.
In Western countries, retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices. Often prices
are fixed and displayed on signs or labels. Alternatively, when prices are not clearly displayed,
there can be price discrimination, where the sale price is dependent upon who the customer is. For
example, a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing and/or
able to. Another example would be the practice of discounting for youths, students, or senior
citizens.

Staffing
Because patronage at a retail outlet varies flexibility in scheduling is desirable. Employee
scheduling software is sold which, using known patterns of customer patronage, more or less
reliably predicts the need for staffing for various functions at times of the year, day of the month
or week, and time of day. Usually needs vary widely. Conforming staff utilization to staffing needs
requires a flexible workforce which is available when needed but does not have to be paid when
they are not, part-time workers; as of 2012 70% of retail workers in the United States were part-time.
This may result in financial problems for the workers, who while they are required to be
available at all times if their work hours are to be maximized, may not have sufficient income to
meet their family and other obligations.
14
Transfer mechanisms
There are several ways in which consumers can receive goods from a retailer:
Counter service, where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller.
This type of retail is common for small expensive items (e.g. jewelry) and controlled items like
medicine and liquor. It was common before the 1900s in the United States and is more common
in certain countries like India.
Delivery, where goods are shipped directly to consumer's homes or workplaces. Mail order from
a printed catalogue was invented in 1744 and was common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Ordering by telephone was common in the 20th century, either from a catalog, newspaper,
television advertisement or a local restaurant menu, for immediate service (especially for pizza
delivery), remaining in common use for food orders. Internet shopping - a form of delivery - has
eclipsed phone-ordering, and, in several sectors - such as books and music - all other forms of
buying. Direct marketing, including telemarketing and television shopping channels, are also used
to generate telephone orders. Started gaining significant market share in developed countries in
the 2000s.
Door-to-door sales, where the salesperson sometimes travels with the goods for sale.
Self-service, where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase.

Digital delivery or Download, where intangible goods, such as music, film, and electronic books
and subscriptions to magazines, are delivered directly to the consumer in the form of informa t ion
transmitted either over wires or air-waves, and is reconstituted by a device which the consumer
controls (such as an MP3 player; see digital rights management). The digital sale of models for 3D
printing also fits here, as do the media leasing types of services, such as streaming.
Second-hand retail
Some shops sell second-hand goods. In the case of a nonprofit shop, the public donates goods to
the shop to be sold. In give-away shops goods can be taken for free.
Another form is the pawnshop, in which goods are sold that were used as collateral for loans. There
are also "consignment" shops, which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells,
the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price. The advantage of selling an item
this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyers.
15
Challenges
To achieve and maintain a foothold in an existing market, a prospective retail establishment must
overcome the following hurdles:
Regulatory barriers including
 Restrictions on real estate purchases, especially as imposed by local governme nts
and against "big-box" chain retailers;
 Restrictions on foreign investment in retailers, in terms of both absolute amount of
financing provided and percentage share of voting stock (e.g., common stock)
purchased;
 Unfavourable taxation structures, especially those designed to penalize or keep out
"big box" retailers (see "Regulatory" above);
 Absence of developed supply chain and integrated IT management;

 High competitiveness among existing market participants and resulting low profit
margins, caused in part by Constant advances in product design resulting in
constant threat of product obsolescence and price declines for existing inventory;
 Lack of properly educated and/or trained work force, often including manageme nt,
caused in part by Lack of educational infrastructure enabling prospective market
entrants to respond to the above challenges.
16
Sales techniques
Behind the scenes at retail, there is another factor at work. Corporations and independent store
owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors. One way to do this is to hire a
merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers
in a certain demographic. The nation's largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store
marketing programs that correspond to seasonal and promotional changes. As products change, so
will a retail landscape. Retailers can also use facing techniques to create the look of a perfectly
stocked store, even when it is not.
A destination store is one that customers will initiate a trip specifically to visit, sometimes over a
large area. These stores are often used to "anchor" a shopping mall or plaza, generating foot traffic,
which is capitalized upon by smaller retailers.
Customer service
Customer service is the "sum of acts and elements that allow consumers to receive what they need
or desire from your retail establishment." It is important for a sales associate to greet the customer
and make himself available to help the customer find whatever he needs. When a customer enters
the store, it is important that the sales associate does everything in his power to make the customer
feel welcomed, important, and make sure he leaves the store satisfied. Giving the customer full,
undivided attention and helping him find what he is looking for will contribute to the customer's
satisfaction.[4] For retail store owners, it is extremely important to train yourself and your staff to
provide excellent customer service skills. By providing excellent customer service, you build a

good relationship with the customer and eventually will attract more new customers and turn them
into regular customers. Looking at long term perspectives, excellent customer skills give your
retail business a good ongoing reputation and competitive advantage.

Statistics for national retail sales
 United States
The United States retail sector features the largest number of large, lucrat ive
retailers in the world. A 2012 Deloitte report published in STORES magazine
indicated that of the world's top 250 largest retailers by retail sales revenue in fiscal
year 2010, 32% of those retailers were based in the United States, and those 32%
accounted for 41% of the total retail sales revenue of the top 250.[6]
U.S. Monthly Retail Sales, 1992–2010
Since 1951, the U.S. Census Bureau has published the Retail Sales report every
month. It is a measure of consumer spending, an important indicator of the US
GDP. Retail firms provide data on the dollar value of their retail sales and
inventories. A sample of 12,000 firms is included in the final survey and 5,000 in
the advanced one. The advanced estimated data is based on a subsample from the
US CB complete retail & food services sample.
 CE region
In 2011 the grocery market in six Central European [disambiguation needed] (CE)
countries was worth nearly €107bn, 2.8% more than the previous year when
expressed in local currencies. The increase was generated foremost by the discount
stores and supermarket segments, and was driven by the skyrocketing prices of
foodstuffs. This information is based on the latest PMR report entitled Grocery
retail in Central Europe 2012[8]
 Consolidation
Among retailers and retails chains a lot of consolidation has appeared over the last
couple of decades. Between 1988 and 2010, worldwide 40,788 mergers &

acquisitions with a total known value of 2.255 trillion USD have been announced .
[9] The largest transactions with involvement of retailers in/from the United States
have been: the acquisition of Albertson's Inc. for 17 bill. USD in 2006, [10] the
merger between Federated Department Stores Inc. with May Department Stores
valued at 16.5 bill. USD in 2005[11] - now Macy's, and the merger between Kmart
Holding Corp and Sears Roebuck & Co with a value of 10.9 bill...

HISTORY
Big Bazaar was introduced by the Future Group in September 2001 with the opening of its first
four stores in Kolkata, Indore, Bengaluru and Hyderabad within a period of 22 days.
Started by Kishore Biyani, Big Bazaar was launched mainly as a fashion format selling apparel,
cosmetics, accessories and general merchandise. Over the years, the retail chain has included in its
portfolio a wide range of products and services, ranging from grocery to electronics.
The current retail formats of the Future Group include Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, Electronic Bazaar
and Furniture Bazaar. According to Kishore Biyani, the inspiration behind this entire retail format
was from Saravana Stores, a local store in T. Nagar, Chennai. Big Bazaar is popularly known as
the ‘Indian Walmart’ today.
In the second year of operations, Big Bazaar tied up with Indian banking giant ICICI Bank and
launched the Big Bazaar ICICI Bank Card. In the same year, the first Food Bazaar store was also
launched at High Street Phoenix mall in Mumbai, marking the retailer’s entry into dedicated food
retail.
In 2003, Big Bazaar made its foray into small towns and cities. The first store in this category was
launched that year in Nagpur. The franchise also welcomed its 10 millionth customer at its new
store in Gurgaon in the same year.
Over the next two years, Big Bazaar consolidated its position in the Indian retail landscape. This
phase of growth included the setting up of the Mumbai store in Lower Parel, which registered a
record Rs 10 million turnover in a single day on Diwali-eve in 2004. In 2005, the first Big Bazaar
Exchange Offer was launched, which has quickly gained popularity among customers.
In 2006, further changes in loyalty marketing took place with the launch of the housewife-centr ic
credit card, Shakti. Jewellery store ‘Navaras’ was also launched that year within Big Bazaar stores
which became the first store-in-store concept to be launched by the brand. Another dedicated retail
format launched in 2006 is Furniture Bazaar.In 2007, Big Bazaar partnered with a shopping portal
Futurebazaar.com and expanded its retail footprint to 50 stores.

The following year, 2008, witnessed by far the fastest growth in terms of retail expansion for Big
Bazaar, with the launch of the 101st store. Joining the league of India’s Super brands and voted
among the top ten service brands in the country by the Pitch-IMRB international survey, Big
Bazaar became much more than a household name. The year also saw the launch of the Monthly
Bachat Bazaar (Monthly Budget Market) campaign, which provided significantly low prices and
gave discounts on bulk purchases in the first week of the month.
Over the next two years, Big Bazaar carved its own niche in modern retail and became the largest
brand in the hypermarket format. Capturing one-third of the food and grocery market in modern
retail, celebrity endorsements and tie-ups with other brands allowed it to enhance its retail
footprint. In 2009, Big Bazaar won the CNBC Awaaz Consumer Awards for the third consecutive
year. It was adjudged the Most Preferred Multi Brand Food & Beverage Chain, Most Preferred
Multi Brand Retail Outlet and Most Preferred Multi Brand One Stop Shop.

Various formats and store concept
Most Big Bazaar outlets are multi- levelled stores and are located in stand-alone buildings in city
centres as well as within shopping malls. These stores have more than 2,00,000 Stock Keeping
Units (SKU) in a wide range of categories, led primarily by fashion and food products. The retail
space of these stores in the metros range between 50,000 and 1,60,000 sq. ft.
Since its launch in 2001 in metro cities like Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, Big Bazaar is the
largest Hypermarket chain with presence in 90 cities and towns across the country.
CSR activities
As a part of Future Group, Big Bazaar is involved in various social activities that include green
initiatives for the community, blood donation camps, Diwali celebrations with orphanages, visits
to orphanages and other NGOs helping underprivileged children. These activities usually involve
all members of the management as well as staff of Big Bazaar.
 In September 2011, Future Group signed a strategic partnership with the Himachal
Pradesh Government to directly source, market and promote the state’s products
and services through its Big Bazaar stores under the brand ‘Himachal’. The aim of
this partnership is to aid the development of various ‘source-to-market’ initiat i ves
to enhance livelihoods for more than 25,000 families in the state.
 Big Bazaar created a platform called Yatra to provide women of self-help groups
across various towns and regions of Maharashtra and Gujarat the opportunity to
market their wide assortment of indigenous food and non-food products. As part of
the programme, women from over 30 regional self-help groups were invited,
encouraged and helped to set up stalls to exhibit their products at Big Bazaar stores.
 Big Bazaar Mysore started offering a free wholesome meal to all its customers, who
in return contribute ‘Shraddha Anussar’ for a community cause. In other words, the

customers donate any amount for the meal which would be used for a local, regional
or topical cause.
23
Schemes and innovations
The introduction of ‘Sabse Sasta Din’ (Cheapest Day) in the year 2005 was a turning point for the
Big Bazaar franchise. As part of this effort, the Republic Day holiday was used to ensure that
consumers visited Big Bazaar outlets across the country in large numbers to get required household
items at cheaper rates.
Taking cue from this highly successful concept, another initiative was introduced, named the
‘Purana do aur naya lo’ (give old and get new) scheme. In this scheme, consumers were asked to
bring and sell old clothes, utensils and other household items in exchange of discount coupons.
The concept proved to be a success yet again as people from across the country responded
spontaneously, in spite of the different preconditions associated with it.
The franchise further inaugurated the concept of ‘Hafte ka sabse sasta din’ (Cheapest Day of the
Week), wherein Wednesday was designated to be the day when special discounts were offered to
consumers during a week.
Wednesday Bazaar
The concept of Wednesday Bazaar was promoted as ‘Hafte Ka Sabse Sasta Din’ (Cheapest Day
of the Week). Initiated in January 2007, the idea behind this scheme was to draw customers to
stores on Wednesdays, the day when consumer presence is usually less. According to the chain,
the aim of the concept was ‘to give homemakers the power to save the most.
Big Bazaar introduced ‘Sabse Sasta Din’ (Cheapest Day) with the intention of attaining a sales
figure of Rs 26 crore in a single day. The concept became such a hit that the time period for the
offer had to be increased from one day to three days in 2009 (January 24 to 26) and to five days in
2011 (January 22 to 26).

24
Maha Bachat
The concept of ‘Maha Bachat’ (Mega Saving) was introduced in the year 2006 as a single day
campaign with attractive promotional offers across the company outlets. Over the years, the
concept has grown to become a six-day biannual campaign. During this campaign, attractive offers
are given in all the value formats including Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, Electronic Bazaar and
Furniture Bazaar.
Introduced on February 12, 2009, ‘The Great Exchange Offer’ allows customers to exchange their
old goods for Big Bazaar coupons. The coupons can be redeemed later for buying brand new goods
from Big Bazaar outlets across the nation.
