factors, social factors, personal factors, and psychological factors.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS: a person buying choice is also influenced
by four major psychological factors such as motivation, perception, learning
belief and attitudes.
(B)BUYING DECISIONPROCESS
It includes buying roles, types of buying and steps in buying process.
I. BUYING ROLE
The buying role could be classified into four parts. These are initiator,
influencer, decider and buyer.
II. TYPES OF BUYING BEHAVIOR
Consumer decision taking varies with the type of buying decision. There are
four types buying behavior such as Complex buying behavior, Habitual buying
behavior, Variety seeking buying behavior.
III. STAGES IN BUYING DECISION PROCESS
Here are five stages in buying decision process namely problem recognition
search, evaluation of alternatives purchase decision and past purchase behavior.
NEED RECOGNITION
The buying process starts with the buyers recognition of a problem of need.
The buyer senses a difference between his actual state and desired state.
INFORMATION SEARCH
There are different sources from where a consumer can gather information like
personal sources commercial sources, experimental sources.
EVALUATIONOFALTERNATIVES
After gathering information about different products the customer will be in a
fuss as to choose which product among the mainly alternatives consumer
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
24/60
usually evaluate the alternatives on traditional basis, on the basis of utility
function etc. from the many alternative consumers at last choose the best one for
him.
PURCHASEDECISION
A consumer who decides to execute purchase intention will be making up to
five purchase decisions.
POSTPURCHASEBEHAVIOR
After purchasing the product and services the consumer will experience some
level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the product and se rvices that will
influence subsequent behavior. If consumer is satisfied he may show the
probability of buying the product the next time, satisfied customer will say good
thing about the product, proving the statement that "satisfied customer is the
best
advertisement. A dissatisfied customer may take some action against it. They
may try to reduce the dissonance by abandoning returning the product.
Understanding consumer needs and buying process is the foundation of any
company. By understanding how buyer s go through problem recognition,
information search evaluation of alternatives, the purchase decision and post
purchase behavior marketers can pick up many clues as to how to meet buyers

services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals.

company's marketing efforts. It is the marketing approa ch to accomplish the
bread objective of the marketing approach to accomplish the bread objective of
the marketing plan. The various process of marketing strategy are given below.
1. Selecting largest markets segmentation

4. Price
5. Place
6. Promotion
7. Research and development
8. Marketing research
Marketsegmentationandselectingtargetmarket
It is an effort to increase a company's precision marketing. The starting point of
any segmentation discussion is mass marketing. In mass marketing, the seller
engaged in the mass production, mass distribution and mass promotion of one
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
26/60
product for all buyers. Market segment consists of a large identifiable group
within a market with similar wants, purchasing power geographical location,
buying attitudes or buying habita. It is an approach midway between mass
marketing and individual marketing. Through this the choice of distribution
channels, and communicaton channels become much easier. The researchers try
to form segments by looking at consumer characteristics; geographic,
demographic, and psychographic. After segmenting the market then target
market selected.
2. Positioning: - The positioning is a creative exercise donw with an existing
product. the well known products generally hold a distinctive position in
consumer's minds. The positioning requires that every tangible aspect of
product, price, place and promotion must support the chosen positioning
strategy. Company should develop a unique selling proposition (USP) for each
brand and stick to it, PPL consistently promotes its DAP fertilizer by Higher
yield at lower cost. As companies increase the number of claims for their br and,
they risk disbelief and a loss of clear positioning. In general a company must
avoid four major positioning errors. Those are under positioning over
positioning, confused positioning and doubtful positioning.
3.Product: - A product is any offering that can satisfy a need or want. The
major types ofbasicofferings aregoods, services, experiences, events, places,
properties, organizations, information and ideas. The company gives more
importance in quality, packaging, services etc. to satisfy the cust omers. The

MARKETING STRATEGY
Marketing is not Euclidean geometry a fixed system of concept. Rather
marketing is one of the dynamic fields with in the management arena. The
market faces continually a new challenge everyday and companies mustrespond to it positively. Therefore it is not surprising that new market idea keep
surfacing to meet new market place challenges.
The market process is applicable to more than goods and services.
Anything related to market including ideas, events, policies, prices and
personalities comes under market strategy. However it is important to
emphasize opportunity in the market through market strategy.
Following strategies adopted by the organization.
A strong quality of the product and customersatisfaction:
Customers always believe in good quality product. in my survey I found that
in percentage term more people is quality conscious and not price conscious.
Customer satisfaction is very important part of the organization that at any cost
they have to fulfill.
A growingrelationship with customerand customerretention:
Nowadays a good relation with customer is very important for organization.
Sale is totally depending on the relation with the customers. Customer's
retention is also a major aspect for growing business. It means keep the old
customer and try to make new customer.
Focus on competitors activity:
Every organization should must be careful about it's competitors step,
because they can disturb the growing sales process of the organization.
A growing emphasis on global thinking and local marketing planning:
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
30/60
Companies are increasing by pursuing market beyond their borders. When
they enter other countries they must follow the tradition of that country and also
they make plan for local market that which type of product has more demand
and how can it run in the market.
Promotional Strategy
Under the market strategy promotional idea is very important. Organization
provides some schemes or rebates to retailers or consumers. They make
advertisement according to convenient of the people and the feature of the
product.
So on the basis of marketing strategy a organization runs in the market. It is
several types of which makes helpful to increase sales and turnover of the
organization.

3.1 SCIENCE OF SHOPPING
The science of shopping is a hybrid discipline, part physical science and part
social science and only part science at all because it is also an art. It is a
practical field concerned with providing information that can improve the
retailer's edge and the odds of making a wrong decision. Much of the value of
the science lies in the ability to go beyond collecting data and making educated
guesses about what it means and how best to respond.
1
A recent study discovered that 75-80 per cent of shoppers often leave a
store without any purchases due to the inability to find products or
differentiate between them. Here comes the two-fold challenge. How to
connect with the customer and at the same time grow in a competitive
marketplace crowded with similarities at every level? Since the mass market
and universal audience are things of the past, traditional advertising no longer
works to convey a brand's image with a difference. In search for growth,
companies must think beyond conventional avenues. For most, growth is not
always about square footage expansion but making the most of what they
already have.
The very concept of conversion rate implies that shoppers need to be
transformed into buyers, i.e. when potential customer becomes an actual
customer. Conversion rates vary widely depending on what kind of store or
product we're talking about. In some sections of the supermarket, conversion
rate is probably 100% (dairy or toilet paper). In an art gallery full of paintings,
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
35/60
probably the conversion will be less than 1%. Conversion rate measures what
you make of what you have - it shows how well or how poorly the entire
enterprise is functioning.

3.2 CUSTOMER SERVICE
For a retailer, it costs more to get new customers than to keep the ones you
have. Also the longer you can keep a customer, the more valuable that
customer becomes. Studies done by consultants such as McKinsey have shown
that repeat customers generate over twice as much gross income than new
customers.
2"Firms that only understand buyer behavior may do a good job of selling
existing products within existing channels of distribution. But firms that
understand consumption behaviors are able to create value with new or
improved products and distribution channels.
For example, if an apparel retailer wants to find out what types of clothing its
typical customers really want to buy, it might want to get into consumers'
closets, literally. Enlightened retailers might ask women to show them how they
put together their wardrobes -- how they use the fashions they own, which may
span several years. From such an exercise, retailers can learn how consumers
mix and match items, which items they choose to keep in their closets for many
years, and why.
However, many organizations do not allocate the time, or the money, to educate
and train their employees to deliver the service customers want. Often, thereason is that those organizations don't realize how important customer service
is to their bottom lines.
Importance of a good customer service:
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
37/60
Educating employees to provide quality service works to an
organization's advantage in many ways. Of primary importance is that it
improves customer retention. By finding out what services customers
want -- and then delivering them -- businesses can develop and nurture a
strong, loyal customer base.
Loyal customers are not only important, they are essential. 3Research
shows 65 percent of a typical organization's business comes from
current loyal customers.
Besides making up a base of customers who continue to purchase a
company's products or services, those loyal customers help drive the
company's business by delivering the most powerful and cheapest form
of advertising available: word of mouth. A strong customer base is the
most credible source to potential customers, spreading the reputation of the
business, free of charge, and attracting new customers.
4As a customer's relationship with [a] company lengthens, profits rise.
Customer defections have a surprisingly powerful impact on the
bottom line. It is common for a business to lose 15 to 20 percent of its
customers each year. When defections are cut in half, the average
growth rate more than doubles. A five percent change in rate of
retention swings profit increases from 25 percent all the way to 100
percent.
Bad service has another pitfall: It causes employee turnover. Studies
have shown that employee turnover was inversely proportional to
employee perceptions of the quality of service provided by the ir
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
38/60
employers. When service is perceived as bad, not only do consumers not
like to patronize the company, but employees don't like to work for it.
The highest turnover rates are associated with companies possessing the lowest
employee ratings of service qua lity. That finding was confirmed when Sears
surveyed customers in 771 of its stores. In stores that received relatively high
customer service ratings, 54 percent of the sales force turned over in a year
compared with 83 percent at stores with low customer service scores.
How we treat customers throughout the year when they are
purchasing or even when they are returning items, sets the stage for
their future business. Contradictions in consistency will drive them to
the competition. You see the gift at the holidays, is the gift our customers
give us by coming back to show how much they have appreciated us all
year long!
Employees are not bad performers, just poorly trained. In order to
have consistent service, employees must have consistent training on a
continual basis. What's more is that they must be held accountable for
their performance on a continual basis, not just at a once a year review
time. Lastly, employees need to be rewarded consistently so that they
realize their importance in the company. Wi thout them, there would be no
business, now would there?
Treating Customers Well:
We make it difficult for them to buy and then we make it more difficult
for them to bring it back and we wonder why they choose to shop
elsewhere?
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
39/60
Train the employees to have patience to work within store policy and to do it
positively while showing how proud they are of the store and its products.
PANTALOONS: Fashion by Pantaloons
Pantaloons is the company's departmental store and part of life style retail
format. In fact, PRIL took its very initial steps in the retail journey by setting up
the first Pantaloons store in Kolkata in 1997. In a short time Pantaloons has
been able to carve a special place for it self in the hearts and minds of the
aspirational Indian customers. The Stores have entire range of Menswear,
Womenswear, Kidswear, Activewear, Accessories, Cosmetics, Fragrances,
Homeware, Jewellery, Toys, Books, Music, Stationery, Gift, Novelties, etc.
With 16 stores across the country and an ever-increasing stable of private
brands, Pantaloons - in the coming years is poised to become a leading fashion
trendsetter.
Growth through private labels: A striking characteristic of Pantaloons has been
the strength of its private label programme. In Pantaloons 70% of apparel sales
come from own labels. John Miller, Ajile. Scottsvile, Lombard, Annabelle,
Honey, Bare are some of the successful brands created by the company.
Manufacturing: There is a drive for backward integration, into manufacturing.
Pantaloons is a manufacturer retailer. Manufacturing helps the company plan
the products better depending on what is selling at the stores and also helps
better margin. The company has trouser manufacturing unit in Tarapur and a
denim plant in Goregaon, Mumbai.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
CRM is a management approach that seeks to create, develop and enhance
relationships with carefully targeted customers to maximize customer value,
corporate profitability and shareholder value. CRM leverages informationtechnology (IT) to implement relationship-marketing strategies. Already
customers are getting actively involved, either directly or indirectly with
production processes. They make suggestions, they ask for smaller, brighter,
easier-to-use products.
CRM is not a tool that is specific to any industry type, so there is no one single
definition of Customer Relationship Management. It is up to the organization to
formulate one for itself in order to achieve the CRM goals that it sets for itself.Companies that have adopted CRM regard every customer as an individual with
specific needs and tailor their services accordingly. Information Technologycomes into the picture to help manage Customer relationships in an organized
way.
On an average a company has only a 5 to 20 percent probabil ity of making a
successful sale to a new prospect but has a 60 to 70 percent probability of
selling again to active customers. It would be wiser to invest in encouraging an
existing customer to purchase again. Companies that followed up lapsed cases
experienced 20 to 40 percent successful sales. Without a doubt customer
retention is vital to every company's long -term profitability and success and
CRM, through target selling and customer loyalty programs, can help to
motivate the best customers and to remain loyal as a method of increasing
revenues internally.
Rising customer expectations have stiffened the competition among companies
to improve their customer support services. Todays customer has access to the
latest technological devices that give him ins tant information, allows him to
make instant transactions, buy, sell or transfer money, he has access to it all
over his palm top, PDA, mobile phone or desktop. Todays customer is
knowledgeable, he knows what he wants and the Internet is a powerful tool i n
his hands.
8/7/2019 Pantaloon Retail India PRJT
41/60
More than ever, customers today have an important role to play in the product
lifecycle. Customers are continually pressing for improved support services interms of product coverage, business-ease, response-time and price (or at least
value-for-money!). With a wide variety of services available at competitiveprices and easily accessible at the click of a button, improved customer servicesare becoming the need of the day. Customers are driving companies to migrate
from being purely product-centric to purely customer-centric, taking care of allcustomer requirements even before they are demanded.
From current customer trends, it is easy to define the future customer. The
volume of information available via the Internet will make the future customer a
knowledgeable one. As more customers and businesses go online, the Internet
will foster a global community that communicates at real -time. Customers will
have access to a wider variety of products and prices to choose from. To stay
ahead of competition, companies will have to anticipate customer needs even
before a need arises. As more and more women began to drive two wheelers in
India, the smarter manufacturers realized that one factor that might hold a sari -
clad woman back, would be having to kick-start her bike. Along came the self-
starter button and presto, a surge of women two wheeler drivers! The success of
companies will depend on how well they are able to predict customer behavior,
anticipate requirements and provide for them. The future customer will have a
larger stake in the companys project plans, his input will have value and his
feedback will be consequential to the development of products or the way a
service is delivered. This implies a significant alteration in the supply chains
that we see today.

The CRM strategy should include:
(a) Operational CRM: Automating interaction with the customers and sales
force, and
(b) Analytical CRM: Sophisticated analysis of the customer data generated by
operational CRM and other sources like POS (Point of Sales) transactions, web
site transactions, and third-party data providers.
A typical retail organization has a huge customer base and often customer'sneeds are fairly differentiated. Without the means to analyze voluminous
customer data, CRM Strategy is bound to be a failure. Hence, Analytical CRM
forms the core of a retailer's customer relationship strategy. Marketing and sales
functions are the primary beneficiaries of Analytical CRM and the
Main touch points from where the insights gained about the customer is
absorbed in the Organization. Analytical CRM uses the key business
intelligence tools like data warehousing, data mining, and OLAP to present a
unified view of the customer.
Following are some of the uses of Analytical CRM In Retailing

Customer Segmentation
Customer segmentation is a vital ingredient in a retail organization's marketing
recipe. It can offer insights into how different segments respond to shifts in
demographics, fashions and trends. For example it can he lp classify customersin the following segments
1) Customers who respond to new promotions
2) Customers who respond to new product launch
3) Customers who respond to discounts
4) Customers who show propensity to purchase specific products
Campaign/ Promotion Effectiveness Analysis
Once a campaign is launched its effectiveness can be studied across different
media and in terms of costs and benefits; this greatly helps in understanding
what goes into a successful marketing campaign.
Campaign/ promotion effectiveness analysis can answer questions like:
Which media channels have been most successful in the past for various
campaigns?
Which geographic locations responded well to a particular campaign?
What were the relative costs and benefits of this campai gn?
Which customer segments responded to the campaign?

Customer Lifetime Value
Not all customers are equally profitable. At the same time customers who are
not very profitable today may have the potential of being profitable in future.
Hence it is absolutely essential to identify customers with high lifetime value;
the idea is to establish long-term relations with these customers. The basic
methodology used to calculate customer lifetime value is - deduct the cost of
servicing a customer from the expected future revenue generated by the
customer, add to this the net value of new custo mers referred by this customer,
and discount the result for the duration of the relationship. Though this sounds
easy, there are a number of subjective variables like overall duration of the
customer's relation with the retailer, gap between intermediate c ash flows, and
discount rate. We suggest data mining tools should be used to develop
customized models for calculating customer lifetime value.

Customer Loyalty Analysis
It is more economical to retain an existing customer than to acquire a new one.
To develop effective customer retention programs it is vital to analyze the
reasons for customer attrition. Business Intelligence helps in understandingcustomer attrition with respect to various factors influencing a customer and at
times one can drill down to individual transactions, which might have resulted
in the change of loyalty.
Cross Selling
Retailers use the vast amount of customer information available with them to
cross sell other products at the time of purchase. This effort is largely based on
the tastes of a particular customer, which can be analyzed using BI tools based
on previous purchases. Retailers can also 'up sell' - sell more profitable products
- to the customer at the time of contact.
Product Pricing
Pricing is one of the most crucial marketing decisions taken by retailers. Often
an increase in price of a product can result in lower sales and customer adoption
of replacement products. Using data warehousing and data mining, retailers can
develop sophisticated price models for different products, which can establish
price - sales relationships for the product and how changes in prices affect the
sales of other products.
Target Marketing
Retailers can optimize the overall marketing and promotion effort by targeting
campaigns to specific customers or groups of customers. Target marketing can
be based on a very simple analysis of the buying habits of the customer or thecustomer group; but increasingly data mining tools are being used to define
specific customer segments that are likely to r espond to particular types of
campaigns.

The preference towards the area of Mall holds the key to where people
frequently shop. The success of a store is concentrated towards the area of the
place and the brand value it holds in terms of the changing consumer lifestyles.
The average walk ins are high in Shoppers stop because of the wholesome
entertainment in the location of the store. I believe if Pantaloon as a store can
look for opportunities where there is wholesome entertainment along with the
Mall E.g. Forum in Kolkotta it would surely add to their profits.

There are similar programs of every organized retailer for membership. The

Most of the time the shoppers arent interested in any sort of loyalty programbecause it doesnt add to much to their value. The criteria for the shopping
