EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I had undertaken a project titled A Study on the effective promotional strategy
influencing customer for the product of Biz bazaar and D-mart.
The
to the retailer is not only to satisfy the customers, but also to delight and retain
relationship with the customers. In this situation, well carved-out retail
marketing
strategy is essential which is specially designed for maintaining Customer
Relationship Management and also which is the need of the hour.
Retail Sector is the most booming sector in the Indian economy. Some of the
biggest players of the world are going to enter into the industry soon. It is on the
threshold of a big revolution after the IT sector. Although organized retail
market is not as strong as of now, but it is expected to grow manifolds by the
year 2010. The sector contributes 10% of the GDP, and is estimated to show
20% annual growth rate by the end of the decade. The current growth rate is
estimated to be 8.5%.
The retail market is most fragmented in the world and only 2% of the entire
retailing business is in the organized sector. There are about 300 new malls,
1500 supermarkets and 325 departmental stores being built in the cities very
soon.
I considered the Big-Bazaar/D mart for studying the consumer expectation, and
what are the factors that influence to customer to walk-in, in Big Bazaa/D mart.
Consumers now want the cheapest, biggest and the quickest products/services
from their retailers. They are moving towards the eastern model, the changing
behavior the Indian customers.
The project involves three main aspects namely industry profile, company
profile and analysis part. In industry profile about the retail sector, in company
profile history of the organization, achievements; a detailed study has been
made. In the analysis part, objectives and data collection method, sampling
design, sampling size, sampling method and mainly I have analyzed the
collected primary data using SPSS, the primary data have been collected
through questionnaires. Finally findings, recommendations, limitations and
conclusion are derived.

different from that of the market scenario before 1990. There have been
many factors responsible for the changing market scenario. It is the changing
tastes andpreference of customer which has bought in change in the market.
Income level of the people has changed; life styles and social class of
people have completely changed now than that of olden days. There

In todays world shopping is not anymore tiresome work rather its a
pleasant outing phenomenon now. My study is based on a survey done on
customers of a hypermarket named big bazaar &Dmart. It is a type of
market where various kinds of products are available underone r o o f .
