By: fibre2fashion The Indian retail industry is thriving today. There is stiff competition among Indian and foreign retailers to attract customers and retain them. In this tug-of-war, quality retailing has emerged as the solution. The retailer who provides quality products and services along with a quality shopping experience succeeds in the long run.The quality of the product offered by the retailer has two aspects – the perceived quality and the actual quality. Perceived quality or point of sale quality refers to the image that the customer has about the product while buying it. The actual quality or the point of use quality is the quality of the product that the consumer experiences while using it. The retailer plays a very important role in building up perceived quality with the use of attractive display. The retailer is in direct contact with the customers and so he can play a significant part in helping the manufacturer reduce the gap between actual and perceived quality. The r

Most e-commerce websites focus on increasing their traffic rate, but it’s just as important to convert this traffic into actual customers. After all what is the point oh attracting visitors who make no or very few purchases. We aren’t talking here just about products, we are talking about services too. This is the point of view shared by Jack Love, Publisher of Internet Retailer Magazine. He states that :
If your web site is converting to buyers 3% of shoppers who visit it, congratulations—you’re hitting the average conversion rate for retail web sites. But think how much more money your site would make if you could just double that rate. You’d get twice the online revenue from the same number of visitors, same investment in marketing, and same web staff. The incremental ROI would go off the charts.[…] We think doubling of conversion rates should be an indus
Largest retailer of cell phones in India, Univercell was started a decade back with merely five employees and today they are 1000 employee strong and have opened 100 showrooms across South India. "When I entered the cell phone retail market, my belief in myself was my strongest selling point,” says D Sathish Babu, MD, Univercell, “In 1997 I started out with just five employees and we were mainly dealing with selling phone connections. But it was just a matter a time that I realized that there was a dearth of legal retail outlets for handsets. Customers went to the grey market looking for variety but I gave them retail therapy they could never get at the grey market – a charming ambience, cordial service, phones with warranty and after sales service. This is also the basis of our brand identity” Despite a competitive market, Univercell continues to grow exponentially, Sathish babu explains, “It is simple, we sell more; we buy more. Because of the volumes we deal in, we are in

In an article from Small Biz, an online winery found a way to offset its carbon emissions and boost its eco-cred.
J.J. Buckley Fine Wines, an online wine retailer, based in Oakland, California wanted to offset all (if not most) of its co2 emissions and in order to do this, first they had to find out how much was their annual greenhouse gas output. It took them all of two months to find this out, with the help of FedEx and UPS they were able to determine the energy output of their wine bottle shipments. They then looked into their warehouse and headquarters operations and what emissions were being created there.
In all they pay CarbonFund.org, a carbon reduction organization, $2,000 monthly to offset a great deal of their Co2 emissions and besides being socially-responsible, this also helps set them apart from their competition.
