The Positioning Challenge
The biggest challenge for these retailers is on how to differentiate.
There can only be one or two winners on
best price position
The Positioning Challenge
The Location Challenge
Lack of availability of stores locations convenient to shopper
The infrastructural problems to get to a store
The rising cost of leasing
Mad rush to open stores contributing to increased cost
The Format Challenge
Multiple formats being experimented on which are the few formats that will be future
Convenience versus supermarkets versus hypermarkets
Size versus experience versus viability
Specialty stand alone stores to formats in malls and hypermarkets
Emerging trends with Retailers
Format Diversification
Rapid Scale Up
Source: Mindscape
By 2013, Modern Retail would have reached at least top 600 Indian cities and towns
The Manpower Challenge
Big disconnect between quality of personnel and customer experience desired
Floor Personnel, Managing staff, visual merchandisers big - gap in skill sets required
Where is retail going to find skilled personnel when there is a total lack of organized training
and understanding of the consumer experience desired
The Viability Challenge
The biggest question? Is Modern Retail Viable if so over what period of time
Will there be a fall out ? Who will survive?
Is the path leading to mergers and acquisitions?
Where are we heading?
