    History of the Retail Industry

    The major trend in the history of the retail industry has been the transfer of sales from individual,

    independent, single-product merchants to chain stores, department stores, supermarkets, malls,

    and catalogs. (The chain store actually dates back as early as 700 B.C. in China.) Modern

    retailing began in the United States in 1859, when The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company

    (A&P) became the first chain store in the country, selling tea in New York City. Soon afterward

    department stores and catalog stores appeared the latter making use of the first direct mail lists to

    reach customers in rural areas. By the early 1900s the beginnings of retail industry in the United

    States were well established.

    The A&P tea emporiums were typical of early food stores which specialized in one type of item.

    A&P purchased tea in New York dockyards and sold it at substantially lower prices (50 percent)

    than competitors. A&P was sophisticated in promoting its single product. Their tea emporiums

    were unlike the typical general store of the nineteenth century, for they tried to create the

    atmosphere of an oriental palace, evoking the Asian origins of their product. A&P also brought a

    new concept into food trade when it assigned brand names to bulk teas. It popularized these teas

    even further by organizing tea clubs in various cities. Tea club members received special

    discount rates on A&P products. The stores also printed colorful advertising pamphlets listing tea

    prices and delivery dates along with literary flourishes like poetry and essays. A&P offered

    money-back guarantees and it advertised in big national publications like Harper's Weekly as

    well as smaller religious publications.

    When coffee became popular in the 1880s, A&P offered its own brand, Eight Oclock breakfast

    coffee, which was sold in signature red bags. Though A&P would eventually expand into a chain

    of supermarkets, its tea emporium beginnings contributed much to the basic understanding of

    how a successful chain store should promote itself and its product.

    The catalog sales were no doubt helped by direct mailing lists, which appeared as early as 1903.

    Multi-Mailing Company of New York gathered lists from phone books around the regionfrom

    New England to Ohiowith a total of 600,000 names. This was valuable information because

    farmers in rural areas installed their own telephone lines which were used by entire communities

    with as many as 100 people serviced by one line. Companies like Multi-Mailing sought out these

    telephone-line owners, believing that the rural telephone system identified prominent community

    members who held influence over their fellow villagers.

    Around 1900 retailers owned either small general stores or grand downtown department stores.

    By World War I (19141918) the department stores were prominent. In the 1920s Sears,

    Roebuck & Company and Montgomery Ward opted to add retail stores to their catalog

    operations. As the number of stores spread, reaching even the more rural areas that had come torely on catalog shopping, people increasingly opted to shop in the department stores themselves.

    A century after their beginnings, Sears and Montgomery Ward earned over three-fourths of their

    profits in their retail stores.

    In the 1930s supermarkets appeared, imitating the department stores by offering the customer

    one-stop shopping. They quickly dampened business for individual merchants or single-item

    shops like A&P's tea emporiums. It was far easier to go to one place and pay once, than to make

    individual trips to the butcher, various produce stands, the bakery, and dry goods store.

    In 1930 the King Kullen supermarket was founded in New York City. Boasting that it was the

    first U.S. supermarket (a claim viewed skeptically by some industry historians), it was

    nevertheless a pioneer in that type of store. Its decision to outsource, or hire out, warehouse work

    led to a three-month labor strike. But the company maintained that the outsourcing decision was

    good because it allowed King to be more competitive by opening more new stores and by selling

    more products. In the years after World War II (19391945), the supermarket growth rate had

    peaked and small independent food retailers were driven out of business by tens of thousands of

    newly-opened super-markets. Many remaining independent, individual, or small-chain retailers

    survived by pulling together into retail cooperatives.

    Indian Retail Industry

    The India Retail Industry is the largest among all the industries, accounting for over 10 per cent

    of the countrys GDP and around 8 per cent of the employment. The Retail Industry in India has

    come forth as one of the most dynamic and fast paced industries with several players entering the

    market. But all of them have not yet tasted success because of the heavy initial investments that

    are required to break even with other companies and compete with them. The India Retail

    Industry is gradually inching its way towards becoming the next boom industry.

    The total concept and idea of shopping has undergone an attention drawing change in terms of

    format and customer buying behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping in India. Modern

    retailing has entered into the Retail market in India as is observed in the form of bustling

    shopping centers, multi-storied malls and the huge complexes that offer shopping, entertainment

    and food all under one roof.

    A large young working population with median age of 24 years, nuclear families in urban areas,

    along with increasing workingwomen population and emerging opportunities in the services

    sector are going to be the key factors in the growth of the organized Retail sector in India. The

    growth pattern in organized retailing and in the consumption made by the Indian population will

    follow a rising graph helping the newer businessmen to enter the India Retail Industry.

    In India the vast middle class and its almost untapped retail industry are the key attractive forces

    for global retail giants wanting to enter into newer markets, which in turn will help the India

    Retail Industry to grow faster. Indian retail is expected to grow 25 per cent annually. Modern

    retail in India could be worth US$ 175-200 billion by 2016.

    India is the country having the most unorganized retail market. Traditionally it is a familys

    livelihood, with their shop in the front and house at the back, while they run the retail business.

    More than 99% retailers function in less than 500 square feet of shopping space. The Indian retail

    sector is estimated at around Rs 900,000 crore, of which the organized sector accounts for a mere

    6B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

    2 per cent indicating a huge potential market opportunity that is lying in the waiting for the

    customer-savvy organized retailer.

    Purchasing power of Indian urban customer is growing and branded merchandise in categories

    like Apparels, Cosmetics, Shoes, Watches, Beverages, Food and even Jewellery, are slowly

    becoming lifestyle products that are widely accepted by the urban Indian customer. Indian

    retailers need to advantage of this growth and aiming to grow, diversify and introduce new

    formats have to pay more attention to the brand building process. The emphasis here is on retail

    as a brand rather than retailers selling brands. The focus should be on branding the retail business

    itself. In their preparation to face fierce competitive pressure, Indian retailers must come to

    recognize the value of building their own stores as brands to reinforce their marketing

    positioning, to communicate quality as well as value for money.

    There is no doubt that the Indian retail scene is booming. A number of large corporate houses

    like the Tatas, Rahejas, Piramals, Goenkas, Ambanis, etc. have already made their foray into this

    arena, with beauty and health stores, supermarkets, self-service music stores, new age book

    stores, every-day-low-price stores, computers and peripherals stores, office equipment stores and

    home/building construction stores. Today the organized players have attacked every retail

    category. The Indian retail scene has witnessed too many players in too short a time, crowding

    several categories without looking at their core competencies, or having a well thought out

    branding strategy.

    Growth of the Retail Sector in India

    An increasing number of people in India are turning to the services sector for employment due to

    the relative low compensation offered by the traditional agriculture and manufacturing sectors.

    The organized retail market is growing at 35 percent annually while growth of unorganized retail

    sector is pegged at 6 percent.

    The Retail Business in India is currently at the point of inflection. Rapid change with investments

    to the tune of US $ 25 billion is being planned by several Indian and multinational companies in

    the next 5 years. It is a huge industry in terms of size and according to management consulting

    firm Technopak Advisors Pvt. Ltd., it is valued at about US $ 350 billion. Organized retail is

    expected to garner about 16-18 percent of the total retail market (US $ 65-75 billion) in the next5 years.

    India has topped the A.T. Kearneys annual Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) for the

    third consecutive year, maintaining its position as the most attractive market for retail

    investment. The Indian economy has registered a growth of 8% for 2007. The prediction for

    2008 is 7.9%. The enormous growth of the retail industry has created a huge demand for real

    estate. Property developers are creating retail real estate at an aggressive pace and by 2011, 500

    malls are estimated to be operational in the country.

    With over 1,000 hypermarkets and 3,000 supermarkets projected to come up by 2011, India will

    need additional retail space of 700,000,000 sq ft (65,000,000 m) as compared to today. Current

    8B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

    projections on construction point to a supply of just 200,000,000 sq ft (19,000,000 m), leaving a

    gap of 500,000,000 sq ft (46,000,000 m) that needs to be filled, at a cost of US$15-18 billion.

    The retail stores have mushroomed in the Tier II and Tier III cities. The participants in the retail

    market hold the presence of market in the cities as a signal to their growth. It has been seen that

    the retail companies have invested in the IT sector for their growth and development. The IT

    sector has contributed greatly to the growth of the retail sector in India. The retail firms have

    made lumpy investments in Enterprise Resource Planning System as a strategy for their growth

    and development. SAP has also assumed a significant role in the growth and development of the

    organized retail industry.

    The sudden growth of the organized retail sector can be attributed to the ushering of the domestic

    retail giants like Reliance, Pantaloons, ITC, RPG, Rahejas and the Bharti Group. The foreign

    companies continue to wait in the sidelines. These prominent retail chains have adversely

    affected the farmers in some states. Another viewpoint is that the farmers have rather benefited

    since they were eager on the market intervention of the big retailers for the purpose of marketing

    and processing of their output. Since the big retailers reap the benefits of buying directly from

    the farmers, the customers can purchase the products at minimal price rates. In places like

    Uttarakhand, the big retail chains are welcomed for the same purpose by the farmers. They have

    helped in putting finances in the right channels of processing and packaging.

    Retailing formats in India

    1. Malls:

    The largest form of organized retailing today. Located mainly in metro cities, in proximity to

    urban outskirts. Ranges from 60,000 sq ft to 7, 00,000 sq ft and above. They lend an ideal

    shopping experience with an amalgamation of product, service and entertainment, all under a

    common roof. Examples include Shoppers Stop, Pyramid, and Pantaloon.

    2. Specialty Stores:

    Chains such as the Bangalore based Kids Kemp, the Mumbai books retailer Crossword, RPG's

    Music World and the Times Group's music chain Planet M, are focusing on specific marketsegments and have established themselves strongly in their sectors.

    3. Discount Stores:

    As the name suggests, discount stores or factory outlets, offer discounts on the MRP through

    selling in bulk reaching economies of scale or excess stock left over at the season. The product

    category can range from a variety of perishable/ non perishable goods.

    4. Department Stores:

    Departmental Stores are expected to take over the apparel business from exclusive brand

    showrooms. Among these, the biggest success is K Raheja's Shoppers Stop, which started in

    Mumbai and now has more than seven large stores (over 30,000 sq. ft) across India and even has

    its own in store brand for clothes called Stop!.

    5. Hypermarts/Supermarkets:

    Large self service outlets, catering to varied shopper needs are termed as Supermarkets. These

    are located in or near residential high streets. These stores today contribute to 30% of all food &

    grocery organized retail sales. Super Markets can further be classified in to mini supermarkets

    typically 1,000 sq ft to 2,000 sq ft and large supermarkets ranging from of 3,500 sq ft to 5,000 sq

    ft. having a strong focus on food & grocery and personal sales.

    limited range of high-turnover convenience products and are usually open for extended periods

    during the day, seven days a week. Prices are slightly higher due to the convenience premium.

    7. MBOs :

    Multi Brand outlets, also known as Category Killers, offer several brands across a single product

    category. These usually do well in busy market places and Metros.

    Players in the Indian Retail Industry

    Nanz in North India, Nilgiris in the South, Pantaloon in the East and Crossroad in the West were

    the pioneers of the retail revolution in India. Nanz faced several obstacles in their business andhad to finally down their shutters. Nilgiris, due to some strange reason, did not see any logic to

    expand beyond the southern frontiers. Pantaloon went to scale up and become bigger and bigger

    to form the Future Group, that is now omnipresent in almost all formats right from small

    groceries to e-tailing. Crossroads in Mumbai imparted some valuable lessons to their parent, the

    Piramyd Group, who has since then gone on an expansion drive with other formats of retailing in

    different cities.

    The big players in Indian retail landscape now are the Future Group, Shoppers Stop, Westside,

    Subiksha and RPG Spencer. The newcomers who are knocking at the gates are Reliance Retail,

    Bharti Walmart and Aditya Birla Trinethra. Here, we intend to do a brief profiling of the major

    players in order to understand the retail business in a better manner.

    Top Companies: An Analysis

    1. The Future Group

    The Future Group, which was earlier known as PRIL (Pantaloon Retail India Limited) began as atrouser manufacturer in the mid 1980s. The Future Group is divided into six verticals Future

    Retail, Future Capital, Future Brands, Future Space, Future Media and Future Logistics. The

    Future Group started operations in the mid 1987s by incorporating the company as Mens Wear

    Private Limited. The company went on to manufacture ready made trousers under the

    12B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    Pantaloons brand name. It came out with a public issue in 1991 and later changed their name to

    Pantaloon Fashions (India) Limited (PFIL).

    The first exclusive mens store called Pantaloon Shoppe was inaugurated in 1992. Pantaloons

    went for a franchisee route to expand the number of retail outlets and by 1995, it had reached to a

    crucial number of 70. The first departmental store called Pantaloons was opened in Kolkata in

    1997 with an investment of Rs 0.7 million. The store was a success and recorded revenues of Rs

    100 million within the first year of operations. In 1999, the companys name was changed to

    Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited (PRIL).

    The success of Pantaloons departmental stores encouraged PRIL to come up with other retailing

    formats such as Big Bazaar to retail low cost general merchandising, and Food Bazaar to

    retail food products. As of 2005, the Future Group has 3.5 million sq ft of retail space and over

    100 stores across 25 cities in India. It employs more than 12,000 people and has a customer base

    of more than 120 million.

    Kishore Biyani, the promoter of the group who likes to address himself as Chief Knowledge

    Officer has plans to launch 18 formats and over 3,340 stores, thereby turning the Future Group

    into a US$7 billion company with over US$1 billion in profits by the year 2010.

    It should be noted that the word "Research Methodology" is frequently used when research

    method" would be more accurate. (This is a classic example of word inflation.) For example,

    "Since students were not available to complete the survey about academic success, we changed

    our methodology and gathered data from instructors instead". In this instance the methodology

    (gathering data via surveys, and the assumption that this produces accurate results) did not

    change, but the method (asking teachers instead of students) did.

    Research Methodology includes the following concepts as they relate to a particular discipline or

    field of inquiry:

    1. A collection of theories, concepts or ideas,

    2. Comparative study of different approaches, and

    3. Critique of the individual methods.

    Methodology refers to more than a simple set of methods; rather it refers to the rationale and the

    philosophical assumptions that underlie a particular study relative to the scientific method. This

    is why scholarly literature often includes a section on the methodology of the researchers. This

    section does more than outline the researchers methods.

    Another key (though arguably imprecise) usage for methodology does not refer to research or to

    the specific analysis techniques. This often refers to anything and everything that can be

    encapsulated for a discipline or a series of processes, activities and tasks. In the documentation of

    the processes that make up the discipline that is being supported by this methodology that is

    where we would find the "methods" or processes. The processes themselves are only part of the

    methodology along with the identification and usage of the standards, policies, rules, etc.

    Research can also fall into two distinct types:

    Primary research

    Secondary research

    Research is often conducted using the hourglass model Structure of Research. The hourglass

    model starts with a broad spectrum for research, focusing in on the required information through

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    the methodology of the project (like the neck of the hourglass), then expands the research in the

    form of discussion and results.

    The Research Process

    Step 1 - Formulation of Research Problem

    Identification of the problem is the starting point of the research process. This is the 1 st step in the

    research process. It is the most important step in the research process. In business researches are

    basic researches, which are done to augment the knowledge of that particular discipline. In most

    of the cases business researches are the applied researches. They can be seen as Problem

    Solving Process or Opportunity Tapping Process or Customer Analysis Process.

    My research problem is to study the market analysis of mens wear of [G-3].

    Step 2 - Learning Objective

    Each work/task/project is done by some or the other reason. Each work is done with some or the

    other specific objective. Each project has its own certain objective. Here, in this project, the

    objective for the project is divided into two basic points. The first is the Primary Objective and

    second being the Secondary Objective.

    Primary Objective:

    The Primary objective or I can say the main objective of the project is market analysis of mens

    wear of [G-3].

    Secondary Objectives:

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    34/68

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    1]To understand as to what is the image of the [G-3] among the general public, this will help in

    determining its market share.

    2] For knowing the people views and comments about [G-3] store why do people like the

    store/which are the factor that make good image of [G-3].

    3] To ask the respondent whether what factor makes the [G-3] a good cloth retailer.

    Step 3 - Formulations of Research Design

    After formulating of the Research Problem, the next step is to formulate the Research Design. In

    this it include the types of method that will be used for conducting the study for the particular

    problem. The research design is classified in to 3 types of design

    1. Exploratory Design.

    2. Casual Design.

    3. Descriptive Design.

    Exploratory Design

    This type of design is used for only discoveries and invention of information which is generally

    based on the secondary data.

    Causal Design

    Causal Design is used when researcher is interested in knowing cause and effect relationship

    between the two or more variables.

    Descriptive Design

    This type of design is used when one want to study the characteristic of certain groups such asage, income, occupations, perception, behavior, etc. Descriptive design are well structured as

    compared to exploratory designs

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    35/68

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    As my project is entitled asmarket analysis of mens wear of [G-3], here I need to know the

    perception and response of the respondents, which form a characteristic description. My project

    topic also falls under the category of Descriptive design.

    Step 4 - Selections of Sources of Data

    The third step in the Research Process includes selections of Sources of Data. This step is related

    to from where the data will be selected. It is very much important to select the appropriate source

    of data which is very much necessary while conducting the survey. There are two types of

    sources are available from which one can select the data.

    Primary Data

    Secondary Data

    Primary data are those data that are collected for the first time. This data is never used before by

    any one. According to my topic for accessing the market analysis of mens wear of [G-3], I

    have collected primary data through Personal Survey.

    Secondary data are those that are not collected for the first time. They are gathered and collected

    through various sources such as newspaper, magazine, radio, etc. In my project I have collected

    secondary data from the Internet to get the information about my topic.

    Step 5 - Decisions on Data Collection Techniques

    The fourth step of the research process is about decision on data collection techniques. Data

    Collection Techniques are the ways in which information is gathered. Also, there are various

    ways to collect the data. Some of them are Observational Method, Experimental Method,

    Etc. According to my topic, I have chosen to do Personal Survey as it the best method for my

    survey.

    35B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    36/68

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    To know the market analysis of mens wear of [G-3] one needs to contact local people and

    local users and collect the data, as it is the response of the respondents only on which the my

    topic is being judged. Survey Method proves beneficial in this type of survey where a particular

    no. of population is under study.

    Data Collection technique needs to be done or performed with due care as it is very much

    necessary to determine the answer of the data in an appropriate and accurate manner.

    Step 6 - Determining Sampling Design & Sampling Size

    Next step in the research process to determine the sampling design & sampling size. When a

    marketing research is to be carried out it has to decide whether it would be census survey or

    sample survey.

    When a survey is undertaken and when it is not possible to cover the entire population, the

    marketing researcher has to answer a basic question; how large should the sample be? As large

    sample size leads to higher cost and time consumption and lower sample size leads to

    ineffective results that do not reflect the characteristics of the population. Therefore it is of

    paramount importance that the sample size must be adequate.

    Sample size decision when estimating proportion p is based on non-probability random sample

    of size n is

    n = (1- )

    [S.E. (p)] 2

    Suppose we are interested in finding out feasibility of selling Branded ready to eat food items.

    We believe that is 20 percent. Further, we decide that a standard error should not be more than

    4 percent.

    We now apply the formula.

    Total Population of the Surat district urban area 20,00,000.

    = Proportion of total population = 20%

    S.E. (p) = Probable Error = 4

    n = (1- )

    [S.E. (p)]2

    = 20(100 20)

    (4)2

    = 20*80

    16

    = 100*

    Step 7:-Organizing and Conducting Field Survey

    After preparing the questionnaire and selecting the sample design and sample size, the next step

    was to organize and conduct the field survey. Two very important aspects had to be looked after

    while conducting the survey.

    1] Interviewing.

    2] Supervision.

    Interviewing seems as child play and very easy, but on the other side it is a very difficult task

    because the respondents are generally resistant in giving information. It may be possible that they

    37B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    38/68

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    may provide inaccurate and ambiguous information. They had to be tackled with tact, initiative,

    patience and intelligence. Information is to be taken from the interviewee within certain specific

    time.

    Supervision of the fieldwork is very important to ensure timely and proper completion of the

    survey. Also supervision in a survey is to be done very carefully. Also, supervision is a lengthy

    and tedious task and hinder somewhat in the survey process.

    As the customers were busy and lazy creatures, it become more necessary to supervise the survey

    otherwise the survey could not have got completed in proper time. Moreover, I had to run after

    every individual who left half questionnaire and give silly excuses like getting very late, not

    interested, feeling very sleepy and bored.

    Step 8 - Processing and Analyzing of Data

    The next step after completing the field survey is to process and analyzed it. The processing and

    analyzing of the collected data should be done in such a manner that it reveals the main

    characteristic. After completing the survey I analyzed the questionnaire response from the

    respondents.

    After completing the survey, I had done statistical tally marking. This helped me to get

    the exact no. of frequency.

    The next step what I did was that I prepared a table showing the Percentage and

    Frequency.

    After that I had presented the data by preparing various graphs like Pie charts, Bar charts

    etc.

    Step 9 - Preparing a Research Report

    38B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    39/68

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    Once the data has been tabulated, analyzed and interpreted; according to the market research

    process, the report is to be prepared carefully. It should be taken care that the objectively,

    coherence and clarity are followed. To make a good report the use of graphs are made.

    Moreover, different techniques are used. The graph and techniques are self interpreted and

    suggestion is given. The report should be prepared with great care otherwise, all the efforts

    invested throughout the project will be vein or may not yield the eligible fruitful results.

    Analytical Techniques

    Analytical Techniques are the way or the manner in which the collected data is arranged,

    classified and analyzed in a manner in which they can be understood. There analyzed data are

    then presented through various Charts such as Bar charts, Pie charts, etc. so that the

    understanding of the analyzed data is done effectively.

    [1] Survey-

    I had done the Survey of 100 respondents through personal survey. I had met various people and

    collected information from them. The questionnaire being somewhat complicated to fill, I had to

    make the respondent understand how the rating and the selection of a particular point or a feature

    is to be done.

    [2] Data Analysis

    After the survey, the main purpose was to arrange, classify and analyze the information collected

    from various respondents. Firstly I made the statistical tabulation of the information. Then I

    proceeded with the making of various charts and graphs for which I took the help of Microsoft

    excel. In Microsoft excel I entered the information, done the calculation and then made the

    graph. Thus I completed my data analysis in this manner.

    Limitations of the Project

    39B.M COLLEG OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

  • 8/9/2019 Market Analysis on Men's Wear [G-3]

    40/68

    K. S. TRADING [G-3]

    The first limitation is the Limitation of Field under Survey. It is because Levis is an

    International Brand falling in the Worldwide Market and the field under survey was Surat

    which a city in Gujarat [India]. So, I got response from only a particular slice of people.

    The second limitation is Time limitation. As it is known that Surat is a wide city and is

    continuously expanding day by day and the time period of the survey is 2 months. So, the

    task of collecting, analyzing, processing and presenting information takes a lot of time

    going to each and every nook and corner of the city is difficult. Thus, it acts as a

    limitation.

    The third limitation is the designing of the Questionnaire with relation to this topic. The

    people of Surat are not well equipped with the higher level english and filling

    Questionnaire with complicated aspects. So, it is a limitation for my project.

    The fourth limitation is the gathering of information. As I have done the whole process of

    survey on my own, I know it is very difficult to contact respondents in large no. and

    analyze them.

    The fifth limitation is the genuineness of the information. I cannot assure about the

    genuineness of the information as I cant predict a persons mind. The information given

    by the Respondent may or may not be correct.

    Suggestions:-

    Many respondent or people have said that during their purchase they have problem in

    parking because it is on main road and traffic gets jam many a times. So parking facility

    should need a attention.

    costly so I would like to suggest that they should have local brand.

    People are demanding good amount accessories so that should be taken into

    consideration.

    I would like to suggest them to open there branches in various other city of Gujarat. Sothat they can increase there more customer.

    I would like to suggest that they should give a token of gift to every customer so that they

    can build up a good relationship between them and customer

    Conclusion

    From the survey conducted by me I have come across many conclusions. The first thing I would

    like to tell that people are aware of different brands. They know which the most stylish and most

    comfort wearing brand.G-3 which the most know stores in Surat provides with various different

    ranges in mens wear ,ladies wear, and for kittens.

    I can conclude from the suggestions from the respondents that they are very much impressed

    with the style of the cloths provided by G-3, especially the shirts. From my analysis, I have

    concluded that people are satisfied with the brand provided by store. Also many customers are

    demanding more and improved collection from the store, this tells us that they are ready to

    purchase. The Comfort and Style is the main factor which people considered while purchasing..

    What I have concluded is that the Image of the G-3 as A Status Symbol is excellent.

    Lastly, G-3 is definitely one of the strongest competitors having a cutting edge over the other

    stores.
