INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS RETAILING?

The word "Retail" originates from a French-Italian word. Retailer-someone who cuts off or sheds a small piece from something. Retailer is a Person or Agent or Agency or Company or Organization who is instrumental in reaching the Goods or Merchandise or Services to the End User or Ultimate Consumer. All the activities involved in selling goods or services directly to final consumers for their personal, non-business use is called Retailing. It consists of fixed location, such as departments, boutiques or individuals for direct consumption by the purchaser. Retailing may include subordinate service, such as Home delivery. Marketing researcher see retailing process as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy.

Types of Retailer: i) Store Retailer, ii) Non-store Retailer.

Store retailer is the retailer which operates on a fixed point of sale and depends on certain

criteria.

Non-Store retailers are those retailer which use various methods such as broadcasting

of "infomercials" direct response advertising etc.

History of Automobile Industry in India

Automobile Industry in India has witnessed a tremendous growth in recent years and is all set to carry on the momentum in the foreseeable future. Indian automobile industry has come a long way since the first car ran on the streets of Bombay in 1898. Today, automobile sector in India is one of the key sectors of the economy in terms of the employment. Directly and indirectly it employs more than 10 million people and if we add the number of people employed in the auto-component and auto ancillary industry then the number goes even higher.

The automobile industry comprises of heavy vehicles (trucks, buses, tempos, tractors); passenger cars; and two-wheelers. Heavy vehicles section is dominated by Tata-Telco, Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra, and Bajaj. The major car manufacturers in India are Hindustan Motors, Maruti Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd., Ford India Ltd., General Motors India Pvt. Ltd., Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., Hyundai Motors India Ltd., and Skoda India Private Ltd., Toyota Motors, Tata Motors etc. The dominant players in the two-wheeler sector are Hero Honda, Bajaj, TVS, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (Pvt.)

It is currently making inroads into the rural middle class market after its inroads into the urban markets and rural rich. In the recent years Indian automobile sector has witnessed a slew of investments. India is on every major global automobile player's radar. Indian automobile industry is also fast becoming an outsourcing hub for automobile companies worldwide, as indicated by the zooming automobile exports from the country. Today, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford and Mitsubishi have set up their manufacturing bases in India. Due to rapid economic growth and higher disposable income it is believed that the success story of the Indian automobile industry is not going to end soon.

History of Two Wheeler In India

India is the second largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. In the last few years, the Indian two-wheeler industry has seen spectacular growth. The country stands next to China and Japan in terms of production and sales respectively.

Majority of Indians, especially the youngsters prefer motorbikes rather than cars. Capturing a large share in the two-wheeler industry, bikes and scooters cover a major segment. Bikes are considered to be the favorite among the youth generation, as they help in easy commutation.

Large varieties of two wheelers are available in the market, known for their latest technology and enhanced mileage. Indian bikes, scooters and mopeds represent style and class for both men and women in India.

About 3.1% of Indian households own a motorcycle; annual sales of motorcycles are expected to reach 10 million by 2010.

Motorised two-wheelers like Scooters, small capacity motorcycles and moped are very popular as a mode of transport due to their fuel efficiency and ease of use in congested traffic. The number of two-wheelers sold is several times that of cars. There were 4.75 crore (47.5 million) powered two wheelers in India in 2003 compared with just 86 lakh (8.6 million) cars. Hero Honda, Honda, TVS Motors and Bajaj Auto are the largest two-wheeler companies in terms of market-share. Royal Enfild, an iconic brand name in the country, manufactures different variants of the Bullet motorcycle which is regarded as a classic motorcycle that is still in production.

Manufacture of scooters in India started when Automobile Products of India (API), set up at Mumbai and incorporated in 1949, began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India post independence. They eventually acquired licence for the Li150 series model, of which they began full-fledged production from the early sixties onwards. In 1972, Scooters India Ltd (SIL), a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire manufacturing rights of the last Innocenti Lambretta model. API has infrastructural facilities at Mumbai, Aurangabad, and Chennai but has been non-operational since 2002. SIL stopped producing scooters in 1998.

Motorcycles and scooters can be rented in many cities. Wearing protective headgear is mandatory for both the rider and the pillion-rider in most cities.

Economical price Safety

JIVE PROMOTION

I started promotion activities for Jive from 14th of June, 2010 which ended on 21st of June, 2010. For the promotion of Jive I on behalf of TVS put up a tent nearby roadside. I was to keep a demo Jive bike in the tent and I was provided with a salesman from one of the TVS showroom. I and the salesman invited people passing by and asked them to have a test drive with which I also explained the features of the bike. On the last I collected a feedback from those people.

Company has given me the target to at least 30 test drives in a day. Company has provided a gift voucher to the people taking test drives by which they will get Rs. 500 off on buying Jive. And also for Jive promotion I had distributed pocket calendars.

32

Page 33: TVS_Project

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK OF JIVE

T.MATIC AUTO CLUTCH For easy handling in traffic Shift from 4th gear to neutral, directly Stress free biking with ZERO KNOCKING even at low speeds Saves time, eases your ride through traffic Space for a water bottle and an umbrella Lead the way with instant push-button start, in any gear

Page 37: TVS_Project

Recommendations

TVS is the 3rd position in bike segment so we need to concentration Marketing and Branding.

TVS can emphasize on looks and style of the bikes as there are many people who purchase bikes on the basis of their looks and style.

High segment TVS Apache bike is success but low segment TVS is not success in this segment Hero Honda is success.

Business man and student (18-28) is a target customer.

Find out target customers.

Learning Flexibility : Here flexibility means, we want to say that mental & physical strength

because we have to spend almost 10 hours into the store and again we have to spend 9- 10 hours on the next day.

How to handle customers : We have learned that how to handle customers because in our showroom different types of customer were came and they had different demand, problems, questions, so we had to satisfy those customer as much as possible.

Time Management : It is very important in the job sector. You have to very much punctual; you have to reach your destination at a right time. During these 2 months we had to maintain time management and we are able to do it.

Experience of working in a group : Working in a group, it’s a very good experience for us and also it is very helpful for our future. When we work as a group we had to adjust with them, we had to listen all of their opinions and after the discussion then we come to a decisions.

Page 39: TVS_Project

ConclusionThe data I gathered from the survey helped me to understand the preference of bikes by

the riders and the qualities they would like in their bikes. The data gave an idea that the promotion of TVS bikes is not up to the mark. According to the riders of TVS bikes the best things about TVS bikes is the mileage.

I had done promotional activity for the new product of TVS i.e. Jive from where my learned the various techniques used for promotion. I came across many people and described about the feature of Jive which was very learning. It was a great experience when I had to interact with customers in showroom with different queries, needs and demand.

Finally I would like to thanks TVS and showroom manager and showroom owner for giving us this great opportunity to learn and increase our managerial skills.
