    products with the same quality as branded ones, at a much cheaper rate. Commentingon this, Biyani said, "We are not in the business of selling ambience, but in the businessof giving the best possible deals to our consumers."...

    Radio Ads:Â This technique is used in cities like Sangli (Tier 1 / Tier 2 cities).Now-a-days, itis replaced by advertisements on FM channels. This informs customers about all newhappenings at

    Big Bazaar.

    For example:The departmental store chain Big Bazaar has launched a commercial sometime back topromote 'The Great Exchange Oer'. The commercial portrays how customers canexchange any old and broken items (junk) and get new products at a discounted pricefrom Big Bazaar.

    Facilities like online booking and delivery of goods: It is not just a chain of retail shoppingbut also provides online shopping facility to the consumers.

    Weaknesses:

    ÂOvercrowded: During oers, promotions and even on weekends the place isovercrowded with people and sometime even there is the situation of closing the storedue to it.

    Checkout can be extremely slow: There can be seen a long queue on the billing countersmaking the consumer wait for hours due to the slow service and the crowd.

    Perception of low price=low quality: Generally people think that if any product has lowprice then the quality of the product will be low as they think quality comes with price.

    Targets at the middle class and upper middle class only: It targets at the middle andupper middle class due to which it ignores the upper and elite class people as they arethe cream of the society who are ready to pay any price for the quality and product theyneed.

    Opportunities:Big Bazaar can enter into production of various products due to its in depthunderstanding of customers' tastes and preferences.

    Nowadays people prefer going to one big store and buy everything instead of visitingdierent places for dierent items and waste time. So Big Bazaar can expand thebusiness in smaller cities as there is a lot of opportunity.

    Lot of potential in the rural market.

    Threats:High business risk involved: Big Bazaar investment is very large so it is obvious that

    there is high business risk involved.

    Lot of competitors: There are a lot of countries which are planning to enter the Indianmarket like Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco which is a big threat to Big Bazaar.

    Less Parking Space: Customers are not satised with the parking space availabilityprovided by Big Bazaar. Hence it's a threat of Big Bazaar as it may loose its customersbecause of less parking space availability. In holidays it will be very dicult forcustomers to park their vehicle in Big Bazaar.

    Unorganized retailing: Unorganized retail stores are a threat to the business of bigbazaar as now also people prefer to go to the local stores which are convenient enoughfor them.
