Retail Black Hole Model

The Black hole model is also known as The Retail EST Model. It was developed by J.C Williams Group. According to this model a retailer can win if he is the best in one of the several retail offerings i.e to say that the company is clearly positioned in one or more preferred locations to win and hence they are the strategic differentiators. The losers gravitate to central position, are not best at anything and are sucked into the black hole of retailing

“We have a store opening virtually every fortnight; I have lost count now of how many I have opened”

Kishore Biyani

7 P Analysis of Big Bazaar

Product

There is a wide range of products on offer at Big-bazaar, ranging from apparels, food, farm products, furniture, child care, toys, etc. Products of all the major brands are available at Big Bazaar. A lot of in house brands (private labels) are also promoted by Big Bazaar.

Price

The tag-line of Big Bazaar is “Is se sasta aur accha aur kahin nahi”. The model on which Big bazaar works is one of ‘economies of scale’. “Maximum Market Share” (market penetration pricing) is the major objective of pricing at Big bazaar.

Place

Big-bazaar has a pan India presence with more than seventy-five outlets spread across fifty cities. Big Bazaar has presence in almost all the major Indian cities. Kishore Biyani is very aggressive when it comes to expansion plans of Big bazaar. As per Biyani, the cost of real estate should preferably be less than 5% of total sales of store if one wants to provide maximum benefit to customers. Securing spaces before other retailers join in has been a strategic decision of Big bazaar which has resulted in cost-saving.

Promotion

Many novel cross sell and upsell strategies have been developed by Big bazaar in Indian retail market. Big Bazaar uses various promotional techniques such as “saal ke sabse saste teen din”, Future card, Shakti card, using M.S.Dhoni as brand ambassador, Exchange offers such as ‘junk swap’ offer, POP promotions.

Print media, TV, Radio (FM) and road-side bill-boards are some of the many means used by Big bazaar for advertizing and effective communication.

People

People are considered to be one of the key assets in any organization and their importance is even more profound in the service sector. Big bazaar’s staff possesses some salient features such as: –

The staff is well trained for modern retail.

Innovative thinking among the employees is encouraged at Big bazaar.

Multiple payment counters, availability of store’s staff for keeping baggage and presence of security guard at every gate.

Process

Some of the salient features of dispatch and purchasing area of goods include : –

Trolleys are available for carrying purchased items & sufficient nos of counters for easy check-out are present.

Information hoardings/banners for efficient identification of items at store

Physical Evidence

It deals with the final deliverable or the exhibit of written facts.

The staff has standardized dress code to improve the overall appearance of the store (atmospherics).

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS of PRIL –

PRIL Profit and Loss Statement

Interpretation –

Total revenues have constantly been on the rise. This is partly due to the increasing sales resulting from aggressive expansion plans (opening up of outlets) of PRIL.

PAT has also been on steady rise though it has flattened a bit in recent years probably due to higher operating costs, inability to transfer the increased cost to the customer etc.

EPS has also been on a steady rise apart from a single occasion in 2007 when it went down. The reason could be a rights issue or other similar action leading to equity dilution.

The return on capital employed has been decreasing YoY. This could because of concern for the company.

The debt equity ratio has not been too volatile and has always been below 2 which is an indication of sound financial status of the company.

Aggressive Marketing: Promotions

02

The promotional activity of the company, which says ‘Nobody Sells Cheaper and Better!’ has differentiated Big-Bazaar (as a brand) in the minds of the customer. The punch-line has made its place in minds of customer. As the competition is becoming stiff in the market the activities conducted by the company are unique, that have brought fruitful result to the company. Among them sales Promotions is one of the leading activity or unique among all other activities & has high influence on the customer walk-in.

As sales promotions is the major force for Big-Bazaar, Big Bazaar take it very seriously & especially during festivals & special occasions by focussing aggressively on psychological & emotional promotion strategies as per the demographic profile of the various consumers.

About 60-70% of shopping for apparel, consumer durables, and home furnishing, among other things, happen during festivals. At least 40-50% takes place during the peak festival season, between September and November.

According to Ashni Biyani, 23, a team is set up six months ago comprising experts on Indian mythology and religion, retail and even an expert on “days”, “seriously targeted” one-third of the 150 auspicious days in the Hindu calendar.

They map all the communities in India on how they shop and how these calendars work. They focus to understand intuitively, their customs, their rituals, adding that this is the part of a larger strategy to engage customers and to attract “that India which lives in the deep-rooted communities”.

Sabse Saste 3 Din:

The best watershed for brand Big Bazaar was the introduction of the “Sabse Sasta Din” in January 2005, when the Indian Republic Day holiday was utilized to make sure that hordes of consumers descended on all Big Bazaars across the country to buy all kinds of household items – cheap. There were scenes of customers actually vigorously fighting over items in-store & long queues were seen in the store.

Big Bazaar like previous years, attracted large crowds during its three day ‘sales’ event called ‘Sabse Saste 3 Din’ organised to celebrate the Republic Day. Depending on the results, the event is sometimes extended to 5-6 days as it happened in 2008.

The promotional event being organised by Big Bazaar every year has assumed great significance over the years. A large number of customers look forward to this event as hefty discounts on a range of products are offered to the customers in partnership with the retail chain’s vendors on this occasion.

This is, perhaps, the biggest sales event being organised by any retailer in the country. Big Bazaar, which sold merchandise worth Rs 140 crores in 2007, garnered revenues of over Rs. 280 crores during the year 2008 & the growth still continues unexpectedly.

As mentioned by Kishore Biyani, the whole focus is “low margins & pushing volumes” aggressively during these times which make the Big-Bazaar stick to its core Brand-Personality.

Wednesday and Weekend Bazaar:

One of the most popular events Wednesday Bazaar presents terrific offers and irresistible discounts on majority of the products.

The Concept was to aim at giving the homemakers the power to save the most on this day of the week.

Even on weekends when the footfall is the highest, eye-catching offers and discounts are promoted. The weekend promotions differentiated from the Wednesday bazaar in terms of the offers & cross-selling and not on reducing the price of a particular product.

This way they were able to differentiate both the concepts & focus on avoiding confusion while promoting it to the consumers and also attract different type of consumers during these durations.

Special event promotions:

Maha Bachat Sale: Big Bazaar’s incorporates such as on Independence day by having Maha Bachat Sale which did a business of 1.5 crores in its Bangalore store alone. Maha Bachat focuses on further reducing the price as compared to the Wednesday Bazaar.

Also on auspicious occasions such as Akshaya Tritiya which again did a business of 150Cr on a single day in Mumbai & Ahmedabad last year.

An event offering discounts, benefits and privileges’ to senior citizens were created and promoted on the Senior Citizens Day.

Monthly Bachat Bazaar: Big Bazaar understands clearly the habits of Indian consumers. In Monthly Bachat Bazaar the prices are reduced at the start of every month in order to target those consumers who bulk purchase the products and especially the commodities every month.

Price Challenge Campaign:

Reinforcing Big Bazaar’s USP of value proposition, “Is se sasta aur accha kahin nahi” scheme was launched. The challenges promise to offer twice the price difference, if the cost of any of the item found in the store is found to be higher than the market price.

This doesn’t mean that the consumer actually go to other shops in order to compare the prices, but due to this challenge of Big-Bazaar, the consumers had more faith & trust on the Big-Bazaar and hence were confident seeing the confidence level of Big-Bazaar which again built a strong brand differentiation of Big-Bazaar for low pricing.

Exchange Offers:

This promotion primarily focused on letting people disposing off their junk and to gain something out of it in return i.e. “Bring anything old & take anything new”. They could exchange their products and shop from a huge spectrum of discounted products.

This gave the motivation factor to consumers to give their old belongings for something worth & hence their old is not getting waste or is unvalued. Since the Indian consumers are very much value conscious, this strategy worked out very well. Big-Bazaar also made it sure that the campaign is actually not fooling the consumers around and is actually giving the desired value focusing on the fact that “faith thrashed is never recovered” in India.

In- Store Communications:

To ensure that no one misses out on an opportunity to gain from special offers, service boys ferry around a trolley with the product inside, announcing the scheme. Not only is this entertaining it also helps customers pick up the product from the trolley instead of walking up to the rack where it is on display.

Language Customization:

To make sure that non-English speaking customers don’t feel alienated, the communication is also conducted in the local language. The communication is always unambiguous and direct.

The Power of One Campaign:

This initiative encourages customers to add One Rupee to their bill towards donation to a social cause. Big Bazaar makes an equal contribution and donates the entire proceeds to an NGO called Save the Children India. This is a selfless body which has been working for the welfare of children from marginalized sections of society.

Corporate campaign:

Big Bazaar has recently launched a corporate campaign which revolves around a family having a great time together. The brand anthem “Khushiyon se Bhari Jholi” connects with the customers at an emotional level positioning Big Bazaar as part of the happy moments.

Future Cards:

Specifically for Big Bazaar outlets these credit-cum-loyalty card which offer customers a slew of discounts and benefits across Future Group stores are co-branded with ICICI Bank. Customers receive four loyalty points for every Rs 100 spent at Future group’s retail stores and one loyalty point for every Rs 200 spent outside the group’s retail stores. This creates a vicious cycle for the customers to repeat their purchases and is especially done by the consumers during special occasions.
