FABULOUS FRIDAY- “AD Mad” (Dr.Priti Hingorani, Faculty – Retail, Jodhpur)
"Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances".
The chirping of birds, the brightness of the
Sun, the blooming of buds and glory of
God marks the beauty of a day, 'the
Friday'.
This Friday was yet another day of fun and
learning on the same scale
with the activity of 'Ad-mad'.
To createan interesting twist in this activity
we asked students to build new creative
products out of the existing ones. Students
were divided into groups and given to
choose any product and then renovate it
with their own creative skills followed by creating an ad for the same. This not only
enhanced the creativity of students but also provided them a good learning experience.

When Fridays come, it has to be fabulous at FDDI,Kolkata.
The party game of tambola is always a crowd gatherer and an immensely popular one.
But Product Tambola had a new dimension all together. Gathering articles, messages and
recreating a meaningful idea was a challenge in itself.
Thanks to the young and creative minds like Rahul Jha, Shreya Das, Riddhi Pratim

Private labels crucial for fashion retailers success
(Source-Economic Times)
High-margin private labels are crucial to a fashion retailers' success, said British
businessman-turned politician Waheed Alli, who is the chairman of Indian fashion e-
tailer Koovs. Alli, a former chairman of British online fashion and beauty store Asos, was in
India on to meet investors and suppliers.
“Most successful fashion retailers including Zara, Asos and Topshop have a large chunk of
their business coming from private labels,“ said Alli.
“When you are serious about private labels, it makes you a fashion business and not a
marketplace.“ Alli's India venture Koovs has increased its share of contribution from
private labels to 40% from 35% last year. “We would like to take it to around 50%,“ he said.
“You don't want to make the share bigger
because customers would also want choice.“
Koovs has struck a partnership with Souq,
arguably the largest ecommerce site in the Arab
world, to take its private label collection to the
Middle East.It reported that its sales went up by
87% to around Rs 150 crore for the year ended
March, 2017. Koovs, which raised funds of around
Rs 93 crore from investors, including the Times
Group, last year, is listed on London's Alternative
Investment Market, a submarket of the London Stock Exchange.
Commenting on the current status of India's startup ecosystem, Alli said, “It's not a great
time for startups here because investors ha ve tightened their pur se strings. It's time for
consolidation and cost-cuts.“ However, he was optimistic abo ut the country's potential. “I
don't think Indian entrepreneurs have done anything wrong. Everybody here is building
new things. There are bound to be failures. It is definitely harder to raise capital but not
impossible,“ he said.
Alli said he is glad to have invested in India. “America is going into protectionism, Russia
has political problems and Europe has Brexit. The only two markets that seem to have
tremendous potential are India and China”.

Shoppers stop : Digital influence to contribute 20% of
sales (Source- The Hindu)
Lifestyle retail major Shoppers Stop expects to make 20% of its revenue by 2020 through
consumer purchases made as a result of ‘digital influence.’
“Physical stores are called offline, but there is nothing offline today... We say digital
influence as a customer may shop online but collect the product at the store,” Shoppers
Stop CIO Anil Shankar said at the Cisco India Summit 2017 here. “So, there is a digital
influence. By 2020, we expect that 20% of our revenues will have a digital influence from
the current levels of about 1%.”
Digital influence refers to the role that the digital medium plays in influencing purchases,
irrespective of whether the purchase is made online or offline. Mr. Shankar explained that
a buyer may buy a voucher online and come
to the store to make the purchase, this too
was an example of digital influence.
The listed firm is also likely to complete
implementation of its omni-channel model i.e.
retailing both online and offline in the next 2-3
quarters. With 80 outlets across the country,
Shoppers Stop has earmarked about ₹60
crore for the process that includes digitisation
of its stores and adding capabilities like
“contactless payment” and a more personalised shopping experience.
“We started the omni-channel journey in 2015 and we have already started piloting a lot
of features such as enabling users to make contactless payment using audio technology,”
he said. The firm has partnered with ToneTag for the technology wherein audio signals or
‘tone tags’ are used for making payments.
As part of the transformation, Shoppers Stop has partnered with networking major Cisco
to implement the latter's wireless solution across stores. This will enable Shoppers Stop to
also offer Wi-Fi at its stores. “We are excited to collaborate with Shoppers Stop as they
digitally transform their business, deliver hyper-relevant customer experiences and
enhance workforce efficiency to emerge as the retailers of the future,” Cisco India and
SAARC President Dinesh Malkani said.

Indians rate customer service quality as top factor
when choosing Businesses (Source- Financial Express)
In the dynamic economic environment in India, businesses should focus on not just
providing a good value for money product, but an equally excellent customer service
experience to attract and retain customers. According to the findings of the American
Express® 2017 Global Customer Service Barometer released today, 84 percent Indian
consumers say the quality of customer service is very important when they’re deciding to
become or remain a customer.
This significance of customer experience can also be observed from the willingness of 86
percent of Indians to spend more with a company providing excellent customer service
experience; much ahead of United States (70 percent), UK (59 percent), Singapore (72
percent) and Japan (33 percent).In addition, Indian customers talk much more about
their positive experience (59 percent), compared to their counterparts in any other
country Mexico (43 percent), United States (43 percent), Hong Kong (19 percent) and
Canada (38 percent).
“Companies across the country pay a lot of
emphasis on product value proposition but it is
time for them to give an equal or more
importance to customer service for a real
competitive advantage. Putting customers’
needs first to deliver great service experience is
not just the right thing to do, it also makes great
business sense,” said senior vice president,
American Express Global Servicing Network –
Japan and Asia Pacific, Pradeep Kapur.
“At American Express, our stated vision is to be the world’s most respected service brand.
Happy customers today are far more willing to share their positive experiences with their
social network and are also willing to spend more,” added Kapur. The American Express®
2017 Global Customer Service Barometer survey has been conducted across nine
countries including India, United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy, Hong
Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
The survey also reveals:
Happy customers are brand ambassadors
On average, 96 percent of Indians tell 38 people about their good experiences at least
sometimes, but 83 percent are vocal about their bad experiences, telling an average of
31 people. Indians are way ahead than their market counterparts when it comes to
sharing their good customer service experience on social media.

Amazon seeking a way to reach Indian Hearts
(Source- Economic Times)
When Flipkart cofounder Sachin Bansal, speaking at the Economic Times Global Business
Summit last month, raked up again the issue of creating a level playing field for home-
grown companies, the reason behind the demand was clear. Local units of companies
like rival Amazon have been capturing the market in India at a fast clip, with the money
being pumped in by their deep-pocketed foreign parents offering them, what critics say,
an unfair advantage.
Amit Agarwal, head of Amazon India, didn't like the 'foreign' tag and said his company
was very much Indian. "I just want to reiterate that Amazon (India) is a company
incorporated in India, domiciled here. It follows all mandated laws, such as two-factor
authentication, and pays service tax as well," he told the participants.. The policy is not
just reflected in the corporate approach, but also in its advertising.
Clearly, Amazon wants to deflect any effort to target it for its foreign roots. The approach
serves dual purpose, said social commentator and brand consultant Santosh Desai.
"It makes sense from two different perspective in terms of consumer connect and cultural
comfort. It helps that with the kind of we understand India and even from a pure
consumer marketing lens, there is a logic to it," Desai said. "The other is also for proactive
strategy that is more PR kind of sense, which is when there are a lot of people making a
case when there is a domestic/international fault-line. It also becomes a way to forestall
this in a way. That is why they are over-lining it a bit overtly."
Stakes are high for Amazon in India as the Seattle-based company pins great hopes on
the South Asian country after losing out in China to home-grown Alibaba.com.

Case Study : William Penn to stock more men’s luxury
accessories (Source : Business Line)
Bengaluru-based William Penn is planning
to stock more lifestyle products,
particularly men’s luxury accessories, even
as it re-brands the store logo.
Apart from the logo, there will be new
store patterns. The exercise is expected to
be completed in at a cost of INR 1-2 crore.
The portfolio break-up between
accessories and writing instruments and
premium stationery is expected to be 50-50. The accessories that the company stock
include cuff links, scarves, cravats, and collectibles travel items and so on. The mix varies
depending on the store and demand.
There is also an increasing interest towards luxury accessories which we are now tapping
into. The company has a portfolio covering 30-odd brands which include the likes of
Cross, Victorinox, Lamy, Cruiser, Fisher Space Pen, Hugo Boss, Lapis Bard, Shaeffer, Troika,
Philippe, Moleskine.
The average customer spending is around INR 5,000 consisting of two units across
categories. A store would have 20-odd brands and around five to six new accessory
brands have now been added.
Between pens and accessories the turnover break-up stands at around 70-30. This will
change with accessories expected to have a faster growth. The turnover mix is expected
at 60-40 (pens to accessories).
The company, is expecting a turnover of INR 100 crore by the end of this fiscal (FY-18). The
target got delayed by a year because of demonetisation.
In terms of retail presence, Willaim Penn has 30-odd stores across nine cities that include
the four metros, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, Pune, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad.
The company will also tap tier-II cities like Chandigarh, Lucknow and Coimbatore this year
onwards.

Case Study : How brands are using tech in marketing (Source : Business Line)
As consumers tend to use an increasing range of tools and technologies, from
smartphones to social media, to make informed purchasing decisions, corporates are
transforming their marketing into an increasingly technological function.
Like Tata Consultancy Services, which recently teamed up with SATS Ltd, a provider of
airport ground handling and food solutions services, to develop a smart watch, in what is
being termed the world’s first mobile solution for airport operations. The smart watch will
support SATS’ operations at Singapore’s Changi Airport.
To help propel sales in the domestic market,
Maruti Suzuki launched its Ignis simultaneously
on the physical as well as digital medium. The
result: 20 per cent of pre-launch bookings came
from digital in the first 10 days.
KFC, with its 3D selfie figurines and electronic
headsets, in a bid to attain the ‘wow’ factor
with consumers.
Speaking about the activation, Lluis Ruiz Ribot,
Chief Marketing Officer, KFC India, said the company is looking to push the boundaries on
the traditional QSR (quick service restaurant) meal. KFC, in association with digital agency
Blink Digital, introduced a limited edition meal accompanied by a personalised smart toy.
With better informed consumers, KFC decided to be relevant to this target audience. As
did Maruti Suzuki with its Ignis launch.
Given that social networking sites are proving to be a rich resource to reach Gen Y, a
simultaneous launch on the physical and digital medium got “astounding results with the
millennials,” said Sanjeev Handa, VP and Head of Marketing, Maruti Suzuki.
The auto launch was viewed digitally over 10 million times.
The way consumers consume content and interact has changed. Customers have started
consuming content on the net before they come to physical stores. Advertisers need to
leverage digital effectively.

Watch out : Artificial intelligence will make your Flipkart
experience enriching (Source: Business Insider)
A little after Binny Bansal took over as Flipkart's
CEO from co-founder Sachin Bansal, he penned
down his vision for using new technology so that
Indians’ shopping experience can be made more
enriching.
The topics that they pondered upon included their
ease of search, personalised recommendations, an
interactive shopping experience, as well as the
comparison of online with offline shopping
experience.
The answers to these open-ended questions were
found in Project Mira, an AI-focused effort from team
Flipkart.Internationally, ecommerce
giants Amazon and eBay have invested heavily in AI
so that their marketplaces and customer experience
can be strengthened.
Project Mira, named to suit any common Indian, also
addresses similar complexities, albeit for Indian
shoppers and their apprehensions with online
shopping.
Mira was a result of the shift in the shopping trends of
Indian customers and how they searched for what
they wanted.
As of now, Flipkart processes more than 400,000
shipments a day, and out of this, 10-11% are
returned. This led to experts at Flipkart considering
the need to think of attributes that could be
prompted to buyers instead of having them search
using filters.
With Project Mira, if someone searches for an air-conditioner, Flipkart now asks buyers
about what kind of AC they want, the tonnage, room size, brand, and such, just like an
executive in a brick and mortar would.

PayU India launches deferred payment facility (Source : Financial Express)
Digital payments platform PayU India
launched ‘LazyPay’ that allows a
deferred payment option to users who
transact digitally for amounts ranging
between Rs 500-2,500.
The company, which aims to reach
out to over five million consumers over
the next one year, plans to invest USD
50 million on the product over the
next few years.
The aim of the product is to drive
faster purchase experiences and
convenience by reducing friction on
online checkouts and achieving a zero drop situation for online payments.
Depending upon customer behaviour, the facility could be extended for amounts from
Rs 3,000 and up to Rs 10,000.
“PayU India plans to invest USD 50 million in LazyPay over the next couple of years. The
company aims to get over 5 mm users onboard in the next one year,” it said.
LazyPay would appear as a payment option at the time of checkout on the websites and
apps that integrate the product.
It would provide users with a deferral payment facility for 15 days with a transaction limit
decided as per the purchasing behaviour of every individual. PayU conducted a pilot for
LazyPay last month and has onboarded merchants like Zomato, Box8, Jazz Cinemas,
Netmeds and Innerchef.
In 2015, USD 4.4 billion revenue was lost due to 20-30 per cent of transactions failing at the
payment page. Hence, there was a need for a product which is faster and can give
higher conversions,” PayU India Managing Director Jitendra Gupta said.
The aim is to recreate the kirana store experience where a shop owner allows users to
take products home and pay later because he is acquainted with them, he added. In
the range of Rs 500-2,500, consumers generally pay online for movie tickets, food,
groceries, small bills (phone, electricity, water or DTH), etc, the statement said.

be difficult, but there are steps you
can follow to make it easier.

clean and presentable. Ensure there are no clothes or untidy objects in view of the
webcam before the interview begins.
3. Have a backup plan: Reduce the risk of any issues occurring by conducting a test
interview with a friend beforehand and setting up early. However, you should have
a backup plan ready in case anything goes wrong – including a backup device
and Internet connection.
4. Dress smart: Dress professionally for your Skype interview, as this will make a good
impression on the interviewer. Wearing formal attire also has the advantage of
helping you to adopt a more serious approach to the interview.

interviewer in order to make a good first impression. Make eye contact, sit up

environment such as your home.
