RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATIONS

Long Queues at the Billing counters:

Customers usually face problem in billing their purchased goods. Waiting in long queues forces them to leave certain products thereby loss of sale to Big Bazaar. So billing counters must be increased and employees at the billing should be given training so that they could bill the products in much lesser time and the people at the billing stations should have the information about the special offers and the events that are being conducted at the store so that the customer inflow can be accordingly handled.

More brands should be included.

Exchange offers must be made clear as the consumers are often not clear about how to use them.

Seating arrangements must be made for customers as well as for employees also.

Invest in supply chain infrastructure.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ease distribution – infrastructure creation.

Care to be taken to maintain proper inventory levels and the varieties and offer the customer what is needed rather than offering what is available.(Brands like Nike, Adidas, Reebok, etc)

Added on facilities like Home Delivery and to an extent credit it plays an important role in Customer Acquisition and retention programs.

The Store personnel should be more friendly and easy approachable ,they can also offer drinking water, lime soda or tea to the customers once they enter in the store.
