    As customers tastes and preferences are changing, the market scenario is also changing from

    time to time. Todays market scenario is very different from that of the market scenario

    before 1990. There have been many factors responsible for the changing market scenario. It is

    the changing tastes and preference of customer which has bought in a change in the market.

    Income level of the people has changed; life styles and social class of people have completely

    changed now than that of olden days. There has been a shift in the market demand in todays

    world. Technology is one of the major factors which is responsible for this paradigm shift in

    the mark. New generation people are no more dependent on heat market and far off

    departmental stores. Today we can see a new era in market with the opening up of many

    departmental stores, hyper market, shoppers stop, malls, branded retail outlets and specialty

    stores. In todays world shopping is not any more tiresome work rather its a pleasant outing

    phenomenon now.

    Mall is a new type of market which came into existence in Bangalore since 2005. It is a type

    of market where various kinds of products are available under one roof. My study is on

    determining the customer satisfaction levels towards Total Mall and the satisfaction level of

    customers towards Total Mall. My study will find out the current status of Total Mall and

    Limitations of study

    Certain limitations do creep in a research study due to constraints of the time, money and

    human efforts, the present study is also not free from certain limitation, which were

    unavoidable.

    Although all effort were taken to make the result of the work as accurate as possible as

    survey but the survey have following constraints.

    Some customers were not willing to give appointment due to their busy schedule.

    Due to very large size of the population, only a selected sample of customer could be

    contacted.

    Due to time constraint and other imperative work load during the period it could not

    be made possible to explore more area of concern pertaining to study.

    Also impossible for company to prove information is confidential.

    Due to fast pace of life, some customers were not able to do justification to the

    questionnaire.

    Personal biases might have come while answer the questionnaire.

    As per company rule many information was not disclose as the manager are busy in

    their daily schedule. It is not possible for us to spend more time in interaction with

    them.

    ANALYSIS

    I have done a market field survey on Total Mall. I have surveyed around 150 respondents of

    Bangalore in SARJAPURE who come to visit Total Mall. A specific questionnaire is

    prepared for the customers and data is obtained from them by moving around Total Mall and

    personally interacting with them. The customers gave me valuable information regarding

    their consumption pattern towards Total Mall. I collected all those information and a proper

    analysis is done.

    All the analysis and its interpretations are discussed below. Each of the analysis is done as

    per the information obtained from the customers and a serious interpretation has been done to

    best of my effort.

    CHART1:representing Customers monthly income

    Analysis:The above diagram shows the distribution of income level of customers coming

    in to Total Mall. Among the 150 respondents 50% of customers are of middle income level

    that is between Rs10000 40000 per month. Least number of customers visiting Total Mall

    are the higher income level people (> Rs.60000 pm) that constitute only 5%. The lower

    income level of people coming to Total Mall constitutes of 20%. 25% of people belong to no

    income group which mostly consists of students

    No Income Group(< Rs.10000)

  • 8/2/2019 Restructured Project Report

    30/80

    30

    Interpretation:Total Mall is the hub of shopping for middle level income group people

    because of its reasonable price on its each product category. The higher level income group

    people dont prefer to do shopping towards Total Mall as it doesnt deal with branded

    products. The higher level income group people are very status conscious and their

    psychology is such type that they dont prefer much to visit Total Mall as it is a discounted

    store. The lower income group people come in to Total Mall as they get goods at a discounted

    price. Hence Total Mall should include branded products in its product category which will

    encourage higher income group people to come in to Total Mall. Probably not much of lower

    income group people come to Total Mall as they dont like to have any shopping experience

    rather they just go for nearby store where they can get their necessity goods. Even they

    purchase goods on a regular basis on a small quantity. So they dont have much interest to

    come to Total Mall and do shopping.

    monthly basis. 23% of customers are visits on quarterly once in a year. And 14% of

    customers visit on unplanned basis

    Interpretation: From this I interpret that towards Total Mall 34% customers visit

    monthly, 29% customer visit weekly 23% customers visit quarterly and 14% customers visit

    on planned basis , it means mostly customers visit weekly and monthly basis for purchase

    their requirements.

    Analysis:The above diagram shows thevisit to apart from Total Mall retail outlet among

    the 150 respondent 64% of customers visits other than the Total Mall.36% of customers not

    visit other mall than the Total Mall

    Interpretation:From this I interpret that 64% customers of Total Mall visit other retail

    stores for their requirements and 36% customers of Total Mall generally do not visit other

    retail stores. It shows that customers satisfaction level is more towards Total Mall.

    Analysis: Out of the 150 respondents 60% of respondents visit Total Mall for shopping,

    10% for outing and 30% visit Total Mall for both the purposes.

    Interpretation: From this I interpret that Total Mall is purely a shopping complex but

    it also facilitates a certain kind of ambience and decorum to the people that they also visit it

    for the purpose of outing. The infrastructure and ambience of Total Mall is so that people

    even like to go there even also they dont have to purchase anything. People enjoy doing

    shopping towards Total Mall. This is very nice for it as often customers.

    Total Mall. 20% of the people go to footwear outlet in a mall other than Total Mall. 20% of

    people also go to mall for entertainment purpose. Some people that are 10% each also visit

    gift corner store and jewelers & watches store in a mall other than Total Mall.

    Interpretation: From this analysis I come to know that most of the people tend to visit

    garment outlets in a mall other than Total Mall as it has some exclusive branded outlets.

    People also go for footwear stores as malls have branded footwear stores in it. People go for

    watching movies to mall for entertainment. Yet a few people visits gift corners and jewelers

    stores in a mall. This is of course a threat for Total Mall that it is not able to attract customers

    from other retail outlets and retain them with it. Total Mall should definitely include more of

    branded products in its product category in order to bring in the customers of mall to it and

    retain them with it. It can include some of the exclusive branded outlets of cloths and

    jewelers in it in order to attract the brand choosy customers.

    of demand and gift items and other items has a demand of only 10% by the customers of

    Total Mall.

    Interpretation: From this analysis I interpret that customers demand are high for

    grocery and clothes followed by food items towards Total Mall. Electronic items have a little

    demand by the customers. Gift items and other items are not much in demand by the

    customers. I can interpret that clothes, grocery and food items are the major products which

    hold maximum number of customers. So Total Mall should maintain its low pricing and

    product quality to keep hold of the customers and also it should keep more qualitative

    products of gift and leather items so that people would go for more purchase of these items

    from it. Total Mall has many local branded products of grocery and cloths and it is

    successfully selling it. It should also include branded products so that more sales can take

    place.

  • 8/2/2019 Restructured Project Report

    39

    Analysis: We can clearly see from this graph that majority of the customers spend a lot

    towards Total Mall that is 29% of people spend more than Rs2000 in a single visit to Total

    Mall. Equal number of people that is 22% of people each spend Rs 1000-1500 and Rs 1500-

    2000 respectively in a visit to Total Mall.16% of people spend Rs 500-1000 and only 11% of

    customers are there who spends less than Rs500 in their visit to Total Mall.

    Interpretation: From this I interpret that most of the customers purchase goods in bulk

    which leads them to spend a lot. Volume sales are high towards Total Mall. Customers tend

    to purchase more goods from Total Mall as it provides goods at a discounted rate. Probably

    those persons who spend more in a visit to Total Mall are purchasing on a monthly basis.

    Those customers who are spending very less money that is below Rs 500 are mostly coming

    in just to move around Total Mall and spend time. In the process they used to spend money

    on food items and also purchase some products while roaming in it. Impulse customer

    satisfaction comes in to play to a large extent. More discounts shall be provided to a person

    who does bulk purchase. This will encourage people to purchase more products.

    Analysis: People spend a lot of time in shopping towards Total Mall. Majority of the

    respondents (35%) said that they spend at least 1 hour to 1 hours towards Total Mall. 22%

    respondents also said that they spend 1 hours to 2 hours in their visit to Total Mall. Only

    10% of people said that they spend very little time that is less than half an hour towards Total

    Mall.

    Interpretation: As per the given data I interpret that customers are very product choosy

    now a days and thats why they spend a lot of time in shopping towards Total Mall. Probably

    customers might even be spending more time towards Total Mall as it provides a very nice

    ambience and atmosphere for the people to shop in. Hence those persons who spend half an

    hour or less than half an hour towards Total Mall are those persons who just come to

    purchase limited products and come only because of low pricing of products. People also

    spend much time in it but purchase very few goods. The sales personnel should focus on the

    people who take long time in shopping and purchases a lot and provide special kind of

    service to them as they are the major customers.

  • 8/2/2019 Restructured Project Report

    Analysis: The above graph shows that more number of people comes to Total Mall in

    weekends than that of week days .40% of people visits Total Mall in weekdays where as 60%

    of people visit Total Mall in weekends.

    Interpretation: I can clearly interpret from this that most of the people tend to visit

    Total Mall in weekends rather than that of week days. There are more footfalls towards Total

    Mall in weekends than that of week days. Though there is not much difference as 40% of

    people visit Total Mall in week days hence in weekends the footfalls SARJAPURE raises by

    10%. As people come more in weekends, so Total Mall should keep it open for more time in

    weekends. The infrastructure can be changed a bit in weekends so that customers can see

    more products clearly and can move around comfortably. In order to bring in more number of

    customers in week days Total Mall should provide some schemes in week days which will

    encourage people to come in to it in week days also. Hence the crowd is more in weekends

    and Total Mall should avail more parking spaces for its customers in weekends. It can make

    some temporary arrangement for parking every weekend. It should not spend much money in

    advertising and displaying of products in weekdays rather it should advertise and display

    products more in weekends as more number of people comes in weekends.

    Interpretation: From the above analysis I interpret that evening time is the peak time

    for Total Mall and day time is the off peak time for Total Mall. There is more number of

    people found towards Total Mall during evening time than that of day time. Probably more of

    products are being sold during evening time towards Total Mall than that of day time. Total

    Mall shall provide some special offerings during day time so that more people should come

    in during day time. It could offer some special kind of product in daytime which will be not

    available during evening time. In this way it will bring in more number of people during day

    time for getting the special kind of products but along with that it will be able to sale other

    products as people do a lot of impulse buying at Total Mall

    Analysis: As shown in the graph out of my total respondents of 150, 50% of customers

    come to Total Mall with a planned list of products. 40% of people come in to Total Mall

    without any planned list of products to be purchased from Total Mall.

    Interpretation: As per the data obtained from the customers of Total Mall I interpret

    that most of the customers comes in to Total Mall with a planned list of products. Few

    customers come to Total Mall without any planned list of products and purchases products

    depending on their selection. These people basically come to the mall and hence get in to

    Total Mall. Depending on the product category and brand and quality of products they

    purchases goods. Some couples come to mall and go to food bazaar to have food together and

    to have chit chat among them. The customer who comes with a planned list of products

    purchases more products than that of the customers who comes without any planned list of

    products. So Total Mall should provide more variety and essential goods so that more number

    of people should come in with a planned list of products.

    Interpretation: From this I interpret that customers dont opt for much brand

    preference while purchasing products towards Total Mall. A few customers search for brands

    but depending on the product category. Customers probably dont decide for brands on

    products as there are not much of known branded products available at Total Mall. On

    product categories like grocery and clothes, Total Mall has many local branded products.

    Customers purchase a lot of these as its cheap in price even though its quality is not so good.

    As most of the customers belong to lower class and middle class people, they purchase those

    local branded products as it gives them value for money. Different products of the same

    category have different prices. Quality of products varies with the price. This enables

    customization of products for various types of customers. Customers search for brands

    mostly in apparel section. Some customers also pre decides the brand on the local

    manufactured grocery and food products of Total Mall. Total Mall should include more of the

    branded products in its each category so that customers have more options to choose among

    the brands. This will bring in more number of people to Total Mall which will definitely

    SARJAPURE raise the sales.

    Analysis: This graph shows that cloths and grocery are the only two items on which

    customers mostly prefer the brands that is 40% each. 33% brand preference is on gift items

    and 25% is on electronic items. Brand preference on leather items is 2% and 12% on any

    other item.

    Interpretation: From this I interpret that some of the products brand are pre decided in

    advance and for some of the products customers dont at all pre decide any brand. As per

    electronic goods are concerned customers pre decide the brand as many branded electronic

    products are available towards Total Mall. The customers pre decides brands on cloths and

    grocery most as Total Mall produces much of local brands and also have some well known

    branded products of clothes with it like flying machine jeans.

    and 26% of the people makes payment towards Total Mall through their debit card.

    Interpretation:As per the obtained data I interpret that more number of people makes

    cash payment towards Total Mall. A fraction of people uses their credit card for payment

    towards Total Mall and a very few people uses their debit card for payment. I can interpret

    that quick exchange of money for goods is done towards Total Mall as most of the people

    mode of payment is cash payment. Hence sometimes Total Mall has to wait for a short time

    customers also said that they feel good about the service and ambience provided by Total

    Mall. Around 35% of customers also said that convenience is also another factor which leads

    them to come to Total Mall. Product quality is rated at very low that is only 20% which

    encourages the customers to come to Total Mall.

    Interpretation:From this analysis I interpret that Total Mall is a well known for its

    variety options. People mostly come to Total Mall as they get various kinds of products under

    one roof. It is also clearly known that Total Mall sales its goods at a discounted price as

    compared to the market. Even it provides a good service and ambience to its customers who

    encourage them to visit Total Mall more and more times. I can also interpret from this that

    Total Mall has located itself in a good place from where it is able to attract customers. As a

    hypermarket which is to be located far off the city, Total Mall has located itself in a good

    place from where it is convenient for people to visit Total Mall. Total Mall should try and

    produce more qualitative products so that customers can get more satisfaction and would

    never think of not doing shopping towards Total Mall.

    parking Total Mall. Only 10% of people say that more than adequate space is available for

    parking towards Total Mall.

    Interpretation: Analyzing the above data, I interpret that customers are not satisfied

    with the parking space availability provided by Total Mall. Hence its a threat forTotal Mall

    as it may lose its customers because of less parking space availability. Even though many

    customers say adequate space is available for parking towards Total Mall but also it is a

    threat for Total Mall as it is seen more number of people are expected to come in to Total

    Mall. In holidays probably it will be very difficult for customers to park their vehicle towards

    Total Mall.

    Analysis: Out of my total respondent of 150 customers, 65% of them say they go to their

    nearby more hyper market and 35% said that they dont at all go to any more hyper market.

    This shows that majority of people go to more hyper market even though they visit Total

    Mall. But some customers are there who never goes to any more hyper market.

    Interpretation: As per the given data I analyze that most number of people tend to

    purchase goods from nearby More hyper market even if they come to Total Mall. I can

    conclude from this that a more hyper market is a competitor of Total Mall. Some customers

    never go for shopping in more hyper market as of it does not have much variety option

    available with it. Probably they are more interested in having a shopping experience rather

    than to just go and purchase goods from more hyper market.

    and every customer that is 100% agrees that there is more variety of products available at

    Total Mall than that of More hyper market. As per quality of goods is concerned 60% of the

    customer say More hyper market provides better qualitative products while 40% of the

    customers say Total Mall also provides qualitative products. 75% people say it is more

    convenient for them to go to a more hyper market while 25% of them say going to Total Mall

    is more convenient for them. 90% of respondents said it is a good shopping experience at

    much nice ambience than Total Mall while 5% of them said that ambience provided by More

    hyper market is also equivalent to that of Total Mall.

    Interpretation:I interpreted from this that a more hyper market is one of the competitor

    of Total Mall. It is a threat for Total Mall as some of the attributes of a more hyper market

    provides more satisfaction to customers. Total Mall should try to improve on each of its

    attributes and out compete the more hyper market so that it can convert the customers of

    more hyper market to be the customers of Total Mall.

    SWOT Analysis is a method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and

    Threats for a business concern. It involves identifying the internal and external factors that are

    favorable and unfavorable to that particular business concern.

    The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending on their impact on

    the organizations objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may

    be weaknesses for another objective. The factors may include personnel, finance,

    manufacturing capabilities, and so on. The external factors may include macroeconomic

    matters, technological change, legislation, and socio-cultural changes, as well as changes in the

    marketplace or competitive position. The results are often represented in form of a matrix.

    63

    The SWOT Analysis is as follows:

    Strengths:

    TOTAL has the highest brand equity in market; known for its aggressive pricing

    and best value for money

    There is a set of loyal customers to TOTAL; there are high percentage of customers

    who comes to TOTAL more than once in a month

    TOTAL also scores among its peers in terms of the space of each of the property;

    each property is around 150,000 square feet. This enable the consumer for a hassle

    free shopping

    Also the space advantage enables TOTAL to merchandise an array of products at

    one single stop point

    TOTAL is one of the highest spender in marketing(advertisements)

    TOTAL enjoys the best relation with vendors because of the flexibility it offers to

    the vendors (because of a lien organization and regional approach). This makes

    TOTAL to get best inputs (margins, trade discounts, extended credit, preference in

    offer stocks, etc)

    Weakness:

    TOTAL is a regional player; this makes in certain cases to get discriminated

    treatments from stakeholders

    High attrition rate and untrained manpower; being in service industry having well

    trained manpower is very critical

    Lack of well defined processes; currently TOTAL has only 5 stores, able to manage

    without a well laid process. When it expands a well laid down process is very

    important

    64

    Opportunities:

    Indian organized retail is still at 4% to 5% of countrys retail market. There is

    enormous growth left unexplored.

    With the growing GDP, double income families, changing consumer behavior

    organized retail is bound to grow

    Recent governments policy change of allowing 51% FDI in retail

    Threats:

    Increase in competition; leading global players like Wall mart, Carrefour are to enter

    into India who have the rich experience of Retail worldwide

    Adoptability of so called mom & pop stores to compete with organized retail
