PUNE: Players in the retail apparel segment have learned a lesson from the crowded
Indian market it's cheaper and more effectively adopting a discount strategy than

strategy to good effect, offering `buy two, get four free' on its products.
"Effectively, it means a 67% discount and we know this will give us net profit margins of
7-8%, unlike those who sell at the maximum retail price (MRP) and have net profit
margins of 17-18%. But it is a better strategy than getting a brand ambassador,
because this ensures us a repeat footfall .
