Secondary Data

The competition intensified as several new brands entered and existing national brands
aggressively expanded into Peter England's territories. For example, Koutons, one of the
existing branded players, spent 4 times more than that of Peter England in advertising to and
offered low priced products, luring customers away who were more price sensitive and less
brand loyal. These competitors devoted significant resources to acquire retail space, setting up
their own EBOs. The number of Peter England products sold through EBOs surpassed that of
MBOs. These changes in the market revealed that Indian customers not only wanted a smooth
transaction when they shopped, but also a wider range of in-shop services and a more
immersive brand experience. The brand’s advertising budget also had a negative downstream
effect, which in turn affected sales.

In Eastern India, the Turtle Brand was well known for its apparel. It was perceived as offering
better designs and had a much wider distribution coverage in that region. Its advertising
focussed exclusively on casual wear, targeting young people. The brand was on par with Peter
England in terms of pricing, product range, in-store environment and the staff cooperation.

14
In Southern India, Oxemberg was a major competitor to Peter England. It had similar product
lines but advertised more aggressively. With a wider distribution network, it was growing faster
(15% annually) than Peter England (10% annually). While Oxemberg’s price levels were below
that of Peter England (around Rs. 1000), Its products were mostly made of polyester rather than
cotton. (Yang, n.d.)
