Abstract
The Indian retail industry is now beginning to evolve in the line with the transformation that has swept other large economies.
There is a change a foot in Indian retail too, the liberalization of the consumer goods industry initiated in the mid-80's and accelerated through the 90's has begun to impact the structure and conduct of the retail industry. The concept retail which includes the shopkeeper to customer interaction, has taken many forms and dimensions, from the traditional retail outlet and street local market shops to upscale multi brand outlets, especially stores or departmental stores. Store Retailing as the departmental store, which is a store or multi brand outlet, offering an array of products in various categories under one roof, trying to cater to not one or two but many segments of the society and nonstore retailing as the direct selling, direct marketing, automatic vending.
Therefore, this concept of retail marketing through departmental stores, which is coming up in a big way in India was decided to be studied in detail, through an exploratory and conclusive research. The objective being to assess the various parameters that influences a buyer to visit or shop at departmental store thereby contributing to its turnover (in terms of sales and profits) hence leading to its overall success. The extensive research brought me to conclude that departmental stores are soon emerging on the top priority lists, amongst the shopping spree in Delhi, as they seem to derive immense pleasure of convenience and exposure to variety under one roof, in their extremely busy lives, when they don't have time for things.
Though some of the customers perceive departmental stores to be expensive and only high income category's cup of tea, the stores make constant efforts to induce them to at least visit the store at once during the sale period, or discount offers. Most of these stores believe in creating not just a marketing activity with its customers, but rather favor relationship building with him so as to convert first time customers into a client.
