We have chosen the topic, “A Study on the effective promotional strategy

influencing customer for the product of Biz bazaar and D-mart”.
As a departmental store is an extensive store. It can never shut down as it is
consumed by the world population on a very regular bases and it is necessity
of an
human being.

Consumer or the customers are valuable assets for any store as they are the

ultimate estimation of any product or service. Since, they are the ultimate
end users

of any product or service, those, the success of any store depend upon the

satisfaction of the consumer, if not they will switch to other store.

 INTRODUCTION

An Overview-
As customer’s tastes and preferences are changing, the market
scenario is also changing from time to time. Today’s market
scenario is very 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 and preference 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 has been a s h i f t i n t h e m a r k e t d e m a n d

which are responsible for this paradigm shift in the market. New
generation people are no more dependent on hat market and far off
departmental stores. Today we can see a newer in market with the opening
up of many departmental stores, hyper market, shopper’s stop, malls,
branded retail outlets and specialty stores. In today’s world
shopping is not anymore tiresome work rather it’s 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 under one r o of .

 HISTORY OF BIG BAZAR

Big Bazaar was launched in September, 2001 with the opening of its first
four
Stores in Calcutta, Indore, Bangalore and Hyderabad in 22 days. Within a
span of
ten years, there are now 161 Big Bazaar stores in . By September 2012

BAZAAR will have two more stores in North east namely SILCHAR and
JORHAT in Assam.
Big Bazaar was started by KishoreBiyani, the Group CEO and Managing
Director
of Pantaloon Retail India. Though Big Bazaar was launched purely as a
fashion
Format including apparel, cosmetics, accessory and general merchandise,
over the
years Big Bazaar has included a wide range of products and service
offerings under
their retail chain. The current format includes Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar,
Electronic
Bazaar and Furniture Bazaar. The inspiration behind this entire retail format
was
From Saravana Stores, a local store in T. Nagar, Chennai.
As we are now in the era of booming retailing lot of organization are
entering into the retail market. In India Future Group Pantaloon company is
one of the greatest retailing companies with its retail format called Big
Bazaar. In my summer Inplant project I’m doing live project, on a “A
analysis oncustomer of Big-Bazaar at Hubli”. ( to improve customer walk-in
at big bazaar) And also to know what are the factors which customers think
before visiting Big Bazaar.

Need for the study-

Big Bazaar has newly established its Hubli store on last 29 th July 2007. The
Big Bazaar has done analyzing of projects to know the consumer
expectation, consumer satisfaction level and now the Big Bazaar has gained
good grip on the Hubli market, but still want to increase the walk-in in Big
Bazaar. So the main need for the study is to know how to increase the walk-
in Big Bazaar.
