2. Value Pricing

• It sets selling prices on the perceived value to the customer, rather than on the actual cost of the product, the market price, competitors prices, or the historical price.

in which producers charge different rates for a given good or service depending on the time, day, month, and so on.

Kishore Biyani is reported to have said that the word ‘Bazaar’ ‘Bazaar’ was mandatory for the name as they wanted to replicate the Indian Mandi or Market feelMandi or Market feel, and ‘big’ came about because this was a much larger concept than just a regular market.

2.BIG BAZAAR AT BCG MATRIX……….




• Strengths:

1) Variety of products available under one roof.

2) Good brands available at affordable prices.

3) Cheap goods available to the consumers due to the absence of middlemen.


• Weakness:

1) High attrition rate.

2) Employees are not well trained in handling esteemed customers.

3) They don’t use costly methods of advertising.


• Opportunities:

1) Huge potential rural market to be tapped

2) Opportunities available in the cosmetics industry


• Threats:

1) Many major players are foraying in the retail sector like walmart, reliance which may hamper their margins

2) Customers may lose their trust on the company due to the supply of substandard products and may even switch to some other company


RECOMMENDATIONS
