Definition of Retail Marketing

Retailing is defined as a conclusive set of activities or steps used to sell a product or a service to consumers for their personal or family use. It is responsible for matching individual demands of the consumer with supplies of all the manufacturers. The word ‘retail’ is derived from the French work retailer, meaning ‘to cut a piece off’ or ‘to break bulk’.

The successful implementation of the components of the traditional marketing mix (product, place, price and promotion) is essential for success in retail marketing. The savvy marketer must have a thorough understanding of his or her customers to answer the questions that are implied by each of the 4 P's.

A retail business typically opens within a specific business category, such as men's clothes. The retailer must decide questions relating to price range, fashion and selection. All of these issues are answered by the assumptions that the retailer makes on the products most likely to attract his targeted customer base. The ability to match products and customers is as much art as science.

Approximately 60% of the Indian population is below 30 years of age. Thus, India has the largest ‘young’ population in terms of sheer size and this young segment is the major driver of consumption as they have the ability (disposable income) and willingness to spend.
