 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.

Different Types of Store:-
I. Specialty Stores

II. Department Stores

III. Supermarkets

IV. Convenience Stores

V. Superstores

VI. Category Killers

VII. Hypermarkets

Specialty stores are small stores which specialize in a specific range of merchandise and
related items. Specialty stores in India are: Pantaloons, Ganguram, Steel junction ,Metal
Junction, Music world, Raymonds, Khadims, Bata, Apollo Pharmacy, Addidas, Sony world ,
Nokia world, Food Bazar ,Haldiram Bhujiwala, Sifyiway, KC Das ,Bausch and Lomb.

Department Store is a retail establishment which specializes in satisfying a wide range of

consumer’s personal and residential durable goods product need, and also offers consumer a
choice of multiple merchandise lines at variable price points in all product categories.
Department Stores sell products including apparel, furniture, home appliances, electronics and
additional select product line such as paint, hardware, toiletries, photographic equipment,
jewellery, toys and sporting goods.

A supermarket is a form of grocery store, a self -service store offering a wide variety of
food and household merchandise, organized into department. It is larger in size and has a wider
selection than a grocery store and it is smaller than a hypermarket or superstore. Supermarket
typically comprises of meat, fresh produce dairy and baked goods departments along with shelf
space reserved for canned and packed goods as well as for nonfood items such as household
cleaners, pharmacy products. Most of the supermarket sell variety of other household products
that are consumed regularly, such as alcohol (where permitted), household cleaning products,
medicine ,clothes and some sell a much wider range of non food products. It usually offers
products at low prices by reducing their economic margins.

6
Convenience store is a small store or shop that sells items such as candy, ice- cream, soft
drinks, lottery tickets, cigarettes and other tobacco products, newspapers and magazines along
with a selection of processed food and perhaps some groceries. They are often located alongside
busy roads, in densely-populated urban neighborhood at petrol stations or near railway station

Category Killer is a large retail chain store that is dominated in its product category. This
type of store generally offers an extensive selection of merchandise at prices so low that smaller
stores cannot compete. Which is also known as Big Box Store?

Hypermarket is a superstore which combines a supermarket and a department store.

Hypermarkets are like other big-box stores, typically have business model focusing on high-
volume, low margin sales.

The Organization has given a choice of different aspects or topics, as the title is
“Comprehensive Study” & asked us to choose any one of them.

Under the guidance of respective Store Manager, we have chosen the following topic.

“Customer feedback based on products and services available at the store .”

Retailing in India is evolving rapidly, with consumer spending growing by

unprecedented rates and with increasing number of global players investing in this sector.
Organized retail in India is undergoing a metamorphosis and is expected to scale up to meet
global standards over the next five years.

India’s retail market has experienced enormous growth over the past decade, more than
doubling in size to US$ 311.7 billion in 2005-06. The market was estimated at US$ 1.1 trillion
(in PPP terms) in 2005-06.

History of Automobile Industry in India

7
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.) Ltd., and Yamaha etc.

Indian automobile industry has matured in last few years and offers differentiated products for
different segments of the society. 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.

Some of the major characteristics of Indian automobile sector are:

• Second largest two-wheeler market in the world.
• Fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world.
8
• 11th largest passenger car market in the world
• Expected to become the world's third largest automobile market by 2030, behind only
China and the US

History of Two Wheeler In India

9
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.

Benefits of two wheelers

10
Two-wheelers are the most popular and highly sought out medium of transport in India. The
trend of owning two-wheelers is due to its-

• Economical price
• Safety
• Fuel-efficient
• Comfort level

However, few Indian bike enthusiasts prefer high performance imported bikes. Some of the
most popular high-speed bikes are Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki Ninja, Suzuki Zeus, Hero
Honda Karizma, Bajaj Pulsar and Honda Unicorn. These super bikes are specially designed for
those who have a zeal for speedy drive.

JIVE PROMOTION
31
 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.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK OF JIVE

32
 I had visited 5 people, who have purchased Jive in their residents on 22nd June, 2010. I
had collected their feedback on Jive. I had collected feedback from the customers on the
following mentioned points. I had asked them to rank the following options:

 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

From the collected feedback I had prepared a collage with the photos of the responders and it
was displayed in the Medinipore Krishna Motors.

Recommendations

36
  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.
37
 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.

38
Conclusion
The 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.
