Bazaar. Close to two lack products are available under one roof at prices lower by 0
to 60 per cent over the corresponding market prices. The high quality of service,
good ambience, implicit guarantees and continuous discount offers have helped in
changing the face of the Indian retailing industry. A leading foreign broking house
compared the rush at Big Bazaar to that of a local suburban train.

success in many Indian cities and small towns. Big Bazaar provides quality items but
at an affordable price. It is a very innovative idea and this hypermarket has almost

Six Ways in Building Customer Loyalty
1. SERVICE NETWORK
The mantra for marketing professionals is service, service and more service!
Thats right! One of the best ways of ensuring your customers keep coming
back to you is providing impeccable service. This includes everything from
service at the point of sale to after-sales service, which builds a lasting
relationship with the customer. Most manufacturers of white goods
understand relationship marketing like no one else. The peculiarity lies in
the product itself, where it might need to be serviced long after it is bought.
Moreover, the purchase might have taken place somewhere different from
where the service is required. Companies like
Whirlpool
levels.

and

country. Remember, the customer is smart. He will judge your

company even on small things like whether the salesperson reached in time.
If he is late, the customer will never trust any claims of zero error
quality made by you. So, watch out for service, the buzzword of the industry.

2. QUALITY CONTROL
You never get a second chance to make a first impression was the
tagline for Head and Shoulders shampoo years ago. Impeccable
service too cannot save you if you do not deliver a good quality product each
and every time. This is true especially for restaurants, where the food
served has to be of the same quality time and again to keep customers
coming back to you. Here, quality is conveyed via word-of- mouth. One bad
experience is enough to ruin the impression forever. Another good way of
assuring customers value the quality of your product is to get an
outside agency or someone else to endorse the results. For instance,
Colgate Toothpaste continually reminds the customer that it is endorsed
by IDA, the Indian Dental Association and it is the brand trusted by most
dentists. HLL gets customers to talk about their Ponds Age Miracle
range of cosmetics and Dove soaps in their television ads, to endorse the
quality of their products. That is also the psyche behind prompting a
customer to try out the product. If a Vim Bar is a good dishwashing bar for
Mrs X, a housewife, it has to be good for you too! If others say that your
product is good, its gotta be good!

3. CONSTANT INNOVATION

Once a customer, always a customer, is no longer true in these days

of fluctuating brand usage. Customers

now have more choices than

before and are more willing to try out new brands. This fickle-minded buying
warrants a constant focus on the changing mindset of the customer. The
brand too has to change with customer tastes. Nestle India does it best with
its brand of Maggi food products. They now have variants for their instant
noodles like Dal Atta Noodles and Rice Noodle

Mania.

Their

competitors in the food segment, HLL (Hindustan Lever Limited, now

called Hindustan Unilever Limited) tickled the Indian palate by making
multiple variants of the traditional Tomato Ketchup in flavors like mint,
tamarind and chilli. Amul, which has a strong presence in the ice-cream
segment, sensed the need to keep the health-conscious customer in its kitty
by adding the new Probiotic range of sugar free ice-creams! Kelloggs
Chocos are now available in a new flavour Chocos Toffee to keep the
children happy and dedicated! Innovation is the name of the game and
timing is everything!

4. DIVERSIFICATION INTO SIMILAR PRODUCT LINES

If a customer feels that Dove Soap is the best for her skin, why not
make her think the same way about shampoos as well? Thats exactly why
the brand name has now been extended to shampoos in the Indian
market. Stretch the loyalty and benefits associated with a brand to include
other similar products.
Lotus Herbals, for instance, makes chemical-free skincare products
like creams, lotions and sunscreens. It has a strong base of happy
customers because of its USP - herbal ingredients. Now, it has also launched
its herbal range of cosmetics on the shelves. So the same IBSAR Pune

customers have a choice of using herbal preparations for their lipsticks

and eye shadows as well. Chances are, they will be only too eager to try them
out! Even when it comes to food products, brand loyalties can be stretched
further. Knorr Soups, manufactured by HLL, extended their instant

soup

powder mixes to include instant make-a-meal powders for Chinese

recipes. They now offer instant Chinese Manchurian, Hot & Sour, Chilli
and other preparations for a quick meal at home. Amul too capitalized
on its distribution network to deliver different products to its customers.
They started from milk and now provide butter, ghee, cheese and even icecreams.

5. STRONG DISTRIBUTION CHAINS

If I want to buy a product, it must simply be available. For fast moving

consumer items, it means availability at the nearest grocer. From personal
experience, I can tell you how important this is. I like Nestles Munch
chocolate a lot, but many a time I end up coming home with a Cadburys
Perk in hand, due to unavailability of the other brand. Perk tastes just as
good, and pretty soon I ended up asking for Perk at the local grocery shop
instead of Munch. This shows how just availability or lack of it can affect
the customers brand choices forever. For a long period Amul faced a
similar

problem

with its products.

Originating from

Gujarat,

the

availability of its products was restricted to the home state and a few
neighboring ones. Consciously, after a lot of effort Amul successfully
expanded its distribution chains throughout IBSAR

the country. An effective media campaign helped pass this advantage

on to the customers. If you want people to keep buying your brands, make
sure the grocery store around the corner stocks it.

6. REINFORCE THE DECISION

Lastly, after people have tried your product, tell them that they have made
the right decision. What better example to give you than the Pepsi ad
which said, Yehi hee hai right choice baby, aha! You will have
customers hanging on to you forever. The human mind looks for signals to
reinforce the decision made by it, to tell itself that yes, you were correct! Its
no wonder then that the LOreal ad shows Aishwarya Rai spouting the phrase
Because youre worth it!
Customer loyalty towards your brand can give you the advantage of
decreased cost of advertising. You can also increase the price of your brand
to capitalize on the same. So, go ahead and take the plunge into the world of
brand loyalty!
Benefits

Customer Loyalty programs need to stay fresh, be easy to administer, and

tightly integrate with the central price file and all the customer touch points.

consumers engaged and avoids the attitude of entitlement.
The Retalix customer loyalty application suite, however, is not your runof-the-mill solution. It is comprehensive, easy to administer, and effective.

UNDERSTANDING PLANOGRAM

A planogram is a diagram of fixtures and products that illustrates how and

where retail products should be displayed, usually on a store shelf in order
to increase customer purchases. It is an arrangement of different
products in the most appropriate order with optimum utilization of
available space. It also shows the exact quantity of each product in the
store as well as its position on a particular bay & shelf. They may also be
referred to as plannograms, plano's, plano-grams, plan-o-grams,
schematics (archaic) or POGs. A planogram is often received before a
product reaches a store, and is useful when a retailer wants multiple store
displays to have the same look and feel. Often a consumer packaged goods
manufacturer will release a new suggested planogram with their new
product, to show how it relates to existing products in said category.
Planograms differ significantly by retail sector. Fast-moving consumer
goods organizations and supermarkets largely use text and box based
planograms that optimize shelf space, inventory turns, and profit margins.
Apparel brands and retailers are more focused on presentation and
use pictorial planograms that illustrate "the look" and also identify each
product.
Since the purpose of a planogram is to communicate how to set the
merchandise to increase customer purchases, much research often goes
into the layout of a planogram. Attention is given to adjusting the visibility,
appearance and presence of products to make them look

more desirable, or to ensure sufficient inventory levels on the shelf or

display. There are some consulting firms which specilize in retail space
layout and planogramming. Some chain stores and wholesalers also
create and maintain planograms for their stores.
Planogramming is a skill developed in the fields of merchandising and
retail space planning. A person with this skill can be referred to as a
planogrammer.
