It is found that 31% of the people came to know about V-Mart through

49% of majority consumers prefer to visit the store Once in a week.
The main selling area of V-Mart is Garments and Food.

at V-Mart whereas 24% of respondents said that they spend BELOW 500,

Suggestion
Company should try to increase publicity in and around 0-10 kms of VMART with the help of different medias like local FM radio, print media, and
posters especially when there are special schemes for customers.

V-MART should introduce various schemes periodically, say once in forth

nightly.

It is suggested that the company should adopt aggressive marketing

campaigning and advertising during times of seasonal bulk items like wheat,
oil, ghee, spices etc. and provide fair discounts on bulk purchase.

Making stalls in corporate melas like trade fair, maybe beneficial to create
brand image of itsproduct

Company should provide regular training to their staff and aware him with
the modern technique ofselling and customer dealing.

A special discount may be given on purchases exceeding certain limits.

There should be more number of billing machines at the billing counter.

Limitations
Limitation of data.
Limitation of time.
Sample size is limited due to the limited
period allocated for the survey.
Getting accurate responses from the
respondents due to their inherent problem is
difficult. They may be partial or refuse to
cooperate.
Respondents may not be interested to give
the data.
Sometime respondents are not taking interest
in such type of surveys therefore there is
chance that they might be giving wrong
information.

CONCLUSION
In the research I found that Indian retail industry is very complicated
in nature because the taste and preferences of the customers vary a
lot in nature. The customers are very choosy in nature; they are not
ready to compromise with their requirements. The customers have
lots of option related to the choices. There are many competitors in
the retail industry. So the sales and promotion activity of the
company is the only tool to attract the customers.
TO work effectively in the market and face
the challenges in the current marketing situation organization must
have to adopt a very efficient and good
MARKETING STRATEGY.
