Traditional Retailing Scenario in India.
3. The Product Advantage
Though the range of products sold by them is
only limited, they have the advantage of
selling in small denominations which majority
of the customers favor.
This keeps them the most understanding retailer
than the modern retail.
1. The Location advantage
Grab it from the next door shop is always
possible as the spread of traditional store is so
strong.
This is one advantage which the modern
retailers would be interested in adapting.
Almost every street in the country has a retail
identity.
2. The Familiarity Advantage
The traditional retailers are the familiar
one to generations.
Interestingly, this familiarity leads to building the
strongest relationship as well as the trust
mutually.
4. The Credit Advantage
Another interesting area is that they offer
monthly credit to the customers.
“This not only helps the salaried class but also it
relieves our worries for keeping the change
ready every time we purchase”.
