 OFFERS PREVAILING IN BIG

APPLE
 There are number of offers prevailing

in big apple which attracts the
customers to buy and to be on a profit
side.
 Offers are a very important part of the

promotion campaign for a company
and that too those offer which help the
need of the customers.
 Big apple has various different

offers which either prevail for 15
days or till the stock last which
ever comes first.
 The best part is that big apple

knows the changing need of the
customers and keeping all these in
mind it changes its offer from time
to time to be the best.
 PLANS, PROCEDUERS AND

RECOMMENDATION THAT
CAN BE IMPLEMENTED.
 BILLING SECTION:-
PROBLEM:-
Usually it has been seen that in

every store of big apple there are
minimum three cash counters
where the billing is done.
But as per seen in observing in

the store the customers attitude
in the billing section it is not so
good.
The problem that is coming in

the billing section is that
customers who are buying the
products of not more than Rs.
100 has to wait for a very long
time nearly around 15-20
minutes, which hence result in
the drop of sale which is bad for
our company both in terms of
image and lose of sale as well.
As per I did the surveys in the

big apple I saw that there are
number of sales which are being
dropped because of this slow
billing procedure.
METHOD THAT CAN BE

IMPLEMENTED:-
What can be done to overcome

this problem is that among all
the three counters we can assign
one counter which makes the
billing for products between 100-
250 rupees, which means people
who just have a specific product
to buy can easily collect there
product and clear there products
in minutes, now we are left with
two counters these should be the
main billing counter and should
clear the bill from range 250-
1500 rupees and above that.
This does not mean that counter

making small bills cannot take
the large orders. It can take
large orders as well when time
permits it for doing that but its
first preference is that to clear

the small bills and not let the
customer wait too long for small
things.
The other option is that if in case

all the three counters are busy in
making the bills and suddenly a
very short bill comes and the
customer becomes irate standing
in line for such a small bill then
what we can do is that we can
make a manual bill and clear the
customer fast.
This will avoid us in having a

drop of sale as every sale is very
important to us whether big or
small.
Its not that this policy will be

very successful but after the
observation for around 6 hours
daily in the big apple store for
more than 15 days I see that this
plan can really work in promoting
our sales and less dropage of
sale.
 PROPER PRODUCT
PLACEMENT AND DISPLAY
 PROBLEM:-
It has been seen in many stores of big

apple that the display of each and
every product in big apple is done in a
very systematic manner.
But usually it has been observed that

many of the items which have a high
price means more than 100 rupees ,for
example various company’s shampoo
and also baby milk products etc. Has
various alternatives and are kept in the
lowest rack in the shelf.
This has been observed in many of the

stores of big apple that a product like a
paper napkin which is a kind of a
necessity product for a customer and a
customer will not pay much of the
attention on the brand and plus it also
does not cost more than 35-40 rupees
is kept on the top most rack in the
shelf.
 METHOD THAT CAN BE

IMPLEMENTED:-
In this case what can be done

is that products must be
catograsied with there prices
and there section too. Means if
one shelf is occupied by the
personal care products, in this
section the products which
have the highest prices and
also which has number of
alternatives must be kept in
the top most rack.
This will help the customer to

choose in a better way among
which is the best suited
product to him instead bending
for a long time in lowest rack
and finding out which will be
the best brand for him/her
which usually a customer will
not do to keep bending for a
product for too long.
The first benefit that we will be

getting by this is that our
products of higher range will
come first in the eyes of the
customer and secondly this will
lead to a good high price sale
instead of a low sale.
This I have been observing in

more than 15 stores of big
apple and I think this plan
must suit a lot to increase in
the sale of the company and its
product.
 PRICE COMPARISON
 Usually it has been found that there is

a very tough competition among the
prices of various products among
various retail outlets.
 For big apple in this retail market

it has been found that the
toughest competition it getting
from are:-
1. RELIANCE FRESH
2. SUBIKSHA
3. FAIR PRICE
4. SIXTEN
 Mainly these are the four big

competitors which are ranked in
there order wise.
 I took the FRUITS, VEGETABLES

AND PLUSES section of each of
big apples competitors and
found a very amazing statistics
which is given further.

SUMMARY:-
Food dominates the shopping basket in

India. The US$ 6. 1 billion Indian foods
industry, which forms 44 per cent of the
entire FMCG sales, is growing at 9 per cent
and has set the growth agenda for modern
trade formats. The prospect for growth of
the branded segment is huge, as nearly 60
per cent of the average Indian grocery
basket still comprises non-branded items.
Of the 12 million retail outlets (which is the

largest in the world), over 5 million sell food
and related products. Some of the large
players in this market are Kishore Biyani’s
Food Bazaar, Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance
Fresh, Big Apple, Godrej Agrovet, the Aditya
Birla Group, and the Tata Group (which
acquired 70 per cent stake in Innovative
Foods from the Amalgam Group) among
others.
Big Apple, the Indian version of the

popular US retail chain 7-Eleven, plans to
open 100 convenience stores in the national
capital and surrounding areas by December
to cater to the urban consumers.
With shopping becoming another casualty of

long working hours, Express Retail Services
Pvt Ltd is rapidly expanding its Big Apple
chain of convenience stores with 25 stores
already merchandising 2,500 products
including FMCG, grocery, fruits and
vegetables,
Big Apple, owned by Express Retail

Services, has opened 22 outlets in New
Delhi in the past two years and says it plans
a five-fold increase by the end of 2007,
offering everything from groceries to
cosmetics. "We have 22 operational stores
in Delhi at the moment but plan to open
100 outlets this year for which we have
earmarked an investment of around one
billion rupees (25 million dollars)," said
Express Retail managing director Munish
Hemrajani. The trend is not confined to New
Delhi.
The retail consulting and research agency

KSA-Technopak predicted in an April report
that by 2010 annual retail sales by chain
stores will reach 21.5 billion dollars, from
7.5 billion dollars now. But there are also
pockets of unhappiness about the impact

that the advent of modern supermarket
shopping is having on traditional shopping
habits. Earlier this month, thousands of
irate street vendors attacked stores set up
by Indian giant Reliance Industries in
eastern India, saying the new nationwide
chain threatened their livelihoods.
Some 5,000 vegetable sellers vandalised

three Reliance Fresh stores in Ranchi in the
first violence against the firm's plans to
build a local version of US retail giant Wal-
Mart, police said. In the nearby Marxist-
ruled state of West Bengal a powerful
communist leader last week threatened
similar protests against Reliance. The small
stores are facing an aggressive push by
newer stores like Big Apple to cut them out
by buying directly from farmers.
INTRODUCTION
Retailing in India
India has sometimes been called a nation

of shopkeepers. This epithet has its roots in
the huge number of retail enterprises in
India, which totalled over 12 million in
2003. About 78% of these are small family
businesses utilising only household labour.
Even among retail enterprises that employ
hired workers, the bulk of them use less
than three workers.
India's retail sector appears underdeveloped

not only by the standards of industrialised
countries but also in comparison with
several other emerging markets in Asia and
elsewhere. There are only 14 companies
that run department stores and two with
hypermarkets. While the number of
businesses operating supermarkets is
higher (385 in 2003), most of these had
only one outlet. The number of companies
with supermarket chains was less than 10.
Retail sales, which amounted to about

Rs7,400 billion in 2002, expanded at an
average annual rate of 7% during 1999-
2002. With the upturn in economic growth

during 2003, retail sales are also expected
to expand at a higher pace of nearly 10%.
In a developing country like India, a large

chunk of consumer expenditure is on basic
necessities, especially food related items.
Hence, it is not surprising that food,
beverages and tobacco accounted for as
much as 71% of retail sales in2002. The
remaining 29% of retail sales are non-food
items. The share of food related items fell
over the review period, down from 73% in
1999. This is to be expected as, with
income growth, Indians, like consumers
elsewhere, spent more on non-food items
compared with food products.
Sales through supermarkets and

department stores are small compared with
overall retail sales. However, their sales
grew much more rapidly (about 30% per
year during the review period). As a result,
their sales almost tripled during this time.
This high acceleration in sales through
modern retail formats is expected to
continue during the next few years with the
rapid growth in numbers of such outlets in
response to consumer demand and business
potential.
Government-Policy
There has been vigorous opposition to

foreign direct investment (FDI) in retailing
from small traders who fear that foreign
retailing companies would take away their
business, lead to the closure of many small
trading businesses and result in
considerable unemployment. Given the
political clout of the small trading
community, because of their enormous
numbers, the government has barred FDI in
retailing since 1997. Hence, at present,
foreign retailers can only enter the retailing
sector through franchising agreements.
Tobacco accounted for as much as 71% of

retail sales in 2002. The remaining 29% of
retail sales are non-food items. The share of
food related items fell over the review
period, down from 73% in 1999. This is to
be expected as, with income growth,
Indians, like consumers elsewhere, spent
more on non-food items compared with
food products.
Sales through supermarkets and

department stores are small compared with
overall retail sales. However, their sales
grew much more rapidly (about 30% per
year during the review period). As a result,
their sales almost tripled during this time.

This high acceleration in sales through
modern retail formats is expected to
continue during the next few years with the
rapid growth in numbers of such outlets in
response to consumer demand and business
potential.
Organizational-characteristics
Given the traditional and underdeveloped

state of the Indian retail sector, the
organizational characteristics of retail
enterprises are rudimentary. Most of them
belong to independent enterprises in the
form of small family businesses.
Cooperatives have been present in India for

several decades, spurred by the
encouragement given by the Indian
Government, which viewed the cooperative
movement as an integral component of its
erstwhile socialist policies. However, since
the 1990s, there has been a reduction in
government support for cooperatives. In
2002, there were about 35,000 outlets run
by cooperatives.
Economic liberalization, competition and

foreign investment since the 1990s led to a
proliferation of brands with both foreign and
Indian companies acquiring strong brand

equity for their products. Hence, franchising
emerged as a popular mode of retailing.
Sales of franchises grew at a rapid pace of
14% per annum over the review period. In
2002, there were over 5,000 franchised
outlets.
The other major retailing organization

format is multiples, better known as "chain
stores" in India. In 2002, there were about
1,800 chain stores. Among the various
organizational formats, sales of chain stores
grew at the fastest pace, with sales growth
during the review period averaging 24% per
year.
Food-Retailers
There are a large variety of retailers

operating in the food retailing sector. This is
not surprising considering the enormous
size of the market for food. However,
traditional types of retailers, who operate
small single outlet businesses mainly using
family labour, dominate this sector. In
comparison, supermarkets account for a
minuscule proportion of food sales. This is
because of the strong competitive strengths
that traditional retailers possess. These
include low operating costs and overheads,
low margins, proximity to customers, long

opening hours, and additional services to
customers (such as home delivery).
Nevertheless, supermarket sales expanded
at a much higher rate than other retailers.
This is because greater numbers of higher
income Indians prefer to shop at
supermarkets because of convenience,
higher standards of hygiene and the
attractive ambience.
Leisure and personal goods retailers
Rising household incomes due to economic

growth spurred consumer expenditure on
leisure and personal goods in India. There
are specialized retailers for each category of
products in this sector. A few retail chains
also emerged particularly in the retailing of
books and music products. Another key
feature of this sector is the popularity of
franchising arrangements between
established manufacturers and retailers.
Alternative selling channels
Sales through most alternative selling

channels are tiny or non-existent. The only
exception was direct selling, which grew
rapidly over the review period. The main
reason for this was that direct selling
companies could easily attract a huge
number of "distributors", who constitute the

key element for the success of any direct
selling company. Many of these are
unemployed Indian housewives who
welcomed this opportunity to earn
additional income for their households. The
low start-up costs meant that they could
easily start this business.
Durable goods retailers
The entry of a large number of foreign

consumer durable companies into the
Indian market during the 1990s after the
government liberalized its foreign
investment and import policies transformed
this sector dramatically. A much larger
variety of consumer electronic items and
household appliances became available to
the Indian customer. Competition among
companies to sell their brands provided.
Clothing and footwear retailers
Numerous clothing and footwear shops are

to be found in Indian cities and towns,
especially in shopping centres and markets.
These are a mix of traditional and modern
stores. Traditional outlets are small and
cramped with little emphasis on alluring

displays. They basically stock a limited
range of cheap and popular items. In
contrast, modern clothing and footwear
stores are spacious with sample products
attractively displayed in windows,
sometimes with mannequins. Just as in the
case of food retailing, there are also a huge
number of retailers selling clothing and
footwear in makeshift stalls or on footpaths.
Because of their rock-bottom prices, which
are much lower than prices of branded
products, they attract a large number of
customers.
Forecast total retail sales
Retail sales (in real terms) are predicted to

rise more rapidly than consumer
expenditure during 2003-2008. The forecast
growth in real retail sales during 2003-2008
is 8.3% per year (compared with 7.1% for
consumer expenditure). Inevitably,
modernization of the Indian retail sector will
be reflected in rapid growth in sales of
supermarkets, department stores and
hypermarkets. This is because of the
growing preference of the affluent and
upper middle classes for shopping at these
types of retail stores, given the
conveniences they offer such as shopping

ambience, variety and a single-point source
for purchases. Hence, sales from these
large format stores are predicted to expand
at growth rates ranging from 24% to 49%
per year during 2003-2008. However, such
rapid growth is from a small base. Hence,
they will continue to account for only a
small share of total retail sales in 2008.
