“It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop.”

Today's blog is about a general observation, to project the opportunity for small and medium sized retailers.

Before we start please read the below observation and continue reading if you agree: 

  • Indians on an average spend more than half of their expenditure on FOOD.
  • Organized Retail has very - Very less share of FOOD sales in India (India is beyond Metro's as well).
  • Still Maximum Indian Populations lives in Tier 2, Tier 3 and rural areas.
  • The maximum portion of sales of Big retailers is apparels and life style products maximum of which comes from metros and High Income group individuals or earning singles or DINKS (dual income no kids) and so on.

Organised Retailers are surrounded by SBRs

The Point to make is, it’s not all about the Big Retailers, but it is about our own store based retailers (SBRs) the new avatar of mom n pop shops & other not too big stores which are targeting the masses of India.

Yes it is the new avatar. They are adopting technology, how many of us have seen a CCTV or a small machine in such stores 5-10 years back, very few, but now they are quite common, they understand the use and importance.

As pointed in my earlier posts http://retailgraph.blogspot.in/2013/04/every-skyline-has-its-own-special-story.html, with time mindset also changes and it must change.

SBRs can make a difference to themselves by changing their own mind set. Your biggest obstacle might be closer to home than you think or it could be you yourself. So mindset to adopt change for good should be carried. 
Change is for good. RetailGraph makes it Possible

In today’s world, the traditional store-based retailers (SBRs) need to employ analytics to understand their customers and most importantly themselves.

Changing Time--changing Customer---So adopt Change & move on
