Big Bazaar is known as the “Indian Wal-Mart”, because they also use Every Day Low Pricing (EDLP) strategy, with a promise to save on a basket of goods.
Their pricing strategy is as follows:
Pricing decisions for all the products are taken at the Corporate Office. For only some special products like groceries, store manager’s decision is also taken into account

• Charges different rates for a given good or service depending on the day, month, and so on.
• E.g. Wednesday Bazaar, Sabse Sasta din etc.
Time Pricing
• Difference in rate based on peak and non-peak hours of a particular day of shopping
Differential Time Pricing
• Selling combo-packs at discounts• E.g. 3 Good Day family packs at Rs 60
(Price/pack = Rs 22)Bundling

Relationship Management Programs
Big Bazaar uses loyalty schemes for customer retention: Profit Club
Pay Rs. 10,000 upfront & shop for Rs. 1000 every month for an year Profit Club Rs. 5000 card was also launched with Rs. 5000 paid upfront & shopping for
Rs. 400 per month for 15 months PAYBACK

Big Bazaar has tied up with Tata Teleservices Ltd. and rolled out its T24 program through which customers will be rewarded with free talk-time for every purchase at Big Bazaar stores
Supply Chain Management
Big Bazaar uses following processes to make its supply chain effective: Safety Stock
Minimum inventory of 9 days so that there does not arise the stock out situation MEQ Purchase System
Purchase order directly placed with the supplier when quantity of a product falls below a minimum level
Automated Replenishment Systems (ARS) Automatic Replenishment System generates purchase order automatically when
quantity falls below minimum level Bi-Weekly Replenishment
Local vendors replenish inventory twice a week after receiving purchase order Dedicated Distributors
Big Bazaar gets its orders fulfilled from 15-20 local distributors (for Sahara Mall) which cater specifically to the modern trade channel members, offering them deep discounts
Improvement Areas & Recommendations
Increase Awareness of Loyalty Programs• Big bazaar makes use of a 3rd party loyalty program i.e. Payback in addition to its own. The Payback
system has high awareness but this is not true for the internal loyalty program• Even the employee’s push customers towards opting for the Payback rather than big bazaar’s own
loyalty program• Need to balance internal & external loyalty programs
Crowd Management• Poor Crowd Management during high discounts period • Long queues at billing counter• Need to introduce multiple billing options for store billing during high discount periods
Improve Customer Experience• Credit Card Agents running after customers inside the store, which disturbs customers• Have dedicated kiosks for these
Prevent Stock outs after promotional schemes• Stock outs observed immediately after promotional schemes• Need to link inventory replenishment model with promotional schemes rather than just historical
sales data
