Economic growth of world economy

The economic slowdown in India is one of the world's biggest economic stories, but it is commanding only a modicum of attention in the United States. It may not even look like a slowdown because by developed standards, India's growth - estimated by the International Monetary Fund at 6.9 percent for 2012 - is still strong. But a slowdown it is: The economy has decelerated from projected rates of more than 8 percent, and negative momentum may bring a further decline. The government reported year-over-year growth in the Octoberthrough-December quarter of only 6.1 percent.

Indian economy
Confirming fears of a slowdown, India's economy grew by just 7.8 per cent in the fourth quarter ending March this year, mainly due to poor performance of the manufacturing sector, as against 9.4 per cent in the same three-month period of the previous fiscal. However, economic growth, as measured by the Gross Domestic Product, improved to 8.5 per cent in 2010-11 from 8 per cent in 2009-10 due to better farm output and construction activities and financial services performance

Concept of jsw shoppe

In an endeavor to expand retail base and ensure the easy availability of quality and branded steel in all its market, JSW Steel has setup 350 exclusive JSW Shoppes across the length and breadth of the country till 2012. It has launched JSW Shoppe all over india in 2 years and at present there are more than 400 shoppes in the country Mr. Sajjan Jindal, vice chairman and managing director, JSW steel has inaugurated two exclusive JSW Shoppe in Hubli, Karnataka on December 4, 2007. The concept originated from the fact that the company wants the end consumer to get the right quality of product at competitive prices at the right place. It will help in building trust with the end user and provide them steel at their doorstep. All technical specification and details on manufacturing ranges are available in JSW Shoppe. Information of all types of JSW steel product, ranging from HR coils to Colour Coated Steel and Long Products would help in enhancing the awareness on wide usage of steel among cross section of society & industries.

At JSW Shoppe, end consumer will also know about different applications of different steel products being manufactured by M/s JSW Steel through actual components and pictures from Automobile, White Goods Sectors, Construction.

The major objectives of establishing JSW Shoppes Could be enlisted as follows: To have an organized retails network Branding of distribution channels Consumer awareness on product ranges and influence their decision making Establish long-term association with dealers Provide a pleasurable shopping experience to the customers Provide customers with value for their money

In the words of Mr. Sajjan Jindal VC & MD, JSW Steel Ltd., "The concept of the Shoppe originates from the fact that we want the customer to get the right quality of product at the right price and at the right place." This novel marketing initiative will go a long way in creating brand awareness about the superior product quality and will ensure that the customers get full value for money.

Organized retailing

With organized retail growing by the day in the country, can manufacturers of steel be far behind? Seems not. JSW Steel has come up with a unique steel-retailing format in the form of JSW Shoppe, to forge a PAN-India presence and to de-commoditise steel. Being the countrys largest private steel producer JSW Steel has decided to brand its product and sell it through its exclusive retail outlets called JSW Shoppe, so that consumers not only have a pleasant buying experience but in the process steel also gets a brand status. Such retail outlets would stock all the products and also educate the customers about the various end-applications of Steel. Combining innovation with functionality, and versatility with style, JSW Shoppe will provide a one-stop destination for consumers intending to go steel shopping. JSW Shoppe envisions creating a unique organised, retail experience that displays the versatility of steel from its functionality, to its aesthetics. Further, it will bring innovation to steel products and make steel buying pleasurable. JSW Shoppe is a mid-size specialty store, which will retail a range of steel oriented products, all under one roof. It will offer: better shopping experience better quality of products greater time and money value to the customer comprehensive range customer delight through its, services, and in-store facilities

Well-displayed and stocked shelves, signage, and competitive prices will help them browse and choose. New designs and innovative products will engage them. Information, consultancy service, and advice, will facilitate right selection. Concept kiosks and displays, which showcase the product, will enable them to visualise and promote impulse buying.

Buying steel for ones home in India has often not been very pleasurable or memorable. The place from where the purchase is made is not always comfortable and may lack credibility. The customer is always worried about the quality of the product, and bargaining is no guarantee that one has got a fair deal. Therefore, purchase of steel items is mostly outsourced to fabricators, masons and other influencer groups. Consumers may end up paying more but that is the "price" of convenience of not having to buy directly. And shopping with the family for steel products is quite unthinkable. However, the boom in real estate coupled by the retail revolution has seen most categories in the home market explore new retail formats and give the end consumer more choice, convenience and comfort. This will be achieved by understanding consumer needs and help vendors innovate and develop such products. This store will also showcase steel as a material of choice that is environmentally friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally resilient.

In addition to this, it is recommended that JSW Shoppe should come up with an Info Centre, which will spearhead dissemination of information on a wide range of subjects related to steel for a discerning audience. It will also provide a platform to learn and understand buyer needs and behaviour, and develop systems and processes that would be shared with retailers and distributors of steel products to help enhance the steel retail environment at large.

Need for branding in steels

To beat the industry trend in a situation of over-supply we felt the need to move away from selling commodities into marketing brands. Even as we will continue to leverage and take to greater heights the value of the JSW brand, there will be efforts to create new images and associations for our services and products in current as well as new businesses. Branding will give rise to customized products in terms of value, performance and pricing; it will meet our customers' needs better. Branding will go a long way in meeting the challenge of gaining a sustainable competitive edge. We feel that branding Steel would help JSW Steel in three big ways: 1) it would help stabilize the flow of revenues even during business downturns, 2) it would make premium pricing possible and 3) this JSW Shoppe format will help in developing long term relationship with dealers. Prior to launching branded steel products, through organized retailing format, JSW Steel took necessary steps to become more customer-focused. There are several benefits that come from branding and marketing a product as opposed to just distributing a commodity. Apart from tangible benefits such as a better price, players can also build a loyal customer base. If the brand is positioned and developed, it will create a segment in the market that is loyal to the brand. This, in turn, will offset the uncertainties brought about by that segment of customers who buy products on price considerations alone. The loyal customer is able to build a stable relationship with the brand, thus reducing the vagaries of price for the supplier while assuring himself of a good product. Branding products will synergise with the company's brand image. The economic benefits of branding lie both in the protection of the price lines of a company's products, as well as in the protection of the company's market capitalization. This creates a Win-Win situation for all The Customers The dealers JSW Steel and The Steel Industry as a whole
