KEY WORDS: Customer Acquisition, Customer Retention Management, Retail Industry, Customer Preferences, Organised Sectors INTRODUCTION Consumers play a vital role in business. They are the backbone of a business. Sale of any product or service comes from two ways. One is through existing customers (repeat sales) and another is through new customer (fresh sales). Nothing may seen more obvious than the need to keep customers coming back as cultivating loyal customers can lead to increased sales and customer share and lower cost. But here the challenge is to retain the existing customers. Retaining existing customers needs a totally different set of strategies than attracting new customers every time. Now - a - days, it is very difficult to retain customers owing to reasons like competition in the market place, customer education and awareness about the products and brands, deficiencies in Page 41
2 customer care, ever changing customer preferences for products, accessibility of products in the market, etc., Hence marketers are equally focusing on attracting new customers into their fold, which is relatively easier one. As a result, sales are mostly through first time purchases also. Now the question before the marketers is how to drive customers towards their products. Advertising, sales promotion, personal selling are some of the important strategies being used for this purpose. In some cases, they bring desired sales to the firm. Now, the crux of the problem with business houses is how to acquire new customers on one hand and on the other, how to retain existing customers. Retail Retail is the process of selling consumer goods and/or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit. Demand is created through diverse target markets and promotional tactics, satisfying consumers' wants and needs through a lean supply chain. Retail is defined as relating to the sale of goods directly to consumers. An example of retail is selling shirts to customers in a clothing store. Acquisition of Customers A customer acquisition strategy defines the best mix of media and engagement tools (lead generation and product offers) to gain new customers through targeting them and reaching them through online and offline customer journeys. Customer acquisition refers to gaining new consumers. Acquiring new customers involves persuading consumers to purchase a company s products and/or services. Companies and organizations consider the cost of customer acquisition as an important measure in evaluating how much value customers bring to their businesses. Customer acquisition management refers to the set of methodologies and systems for managing customer prospects and inquiries that are generated by a variety of marketing techniques. Customer Retention Customer retention is the strategic objective of striving to maintain long-term relationships with customers. Customer retention is the mirror image of customer defection. A high retention rate is equivalent to a low defection rate. The number of customers doing business with a firm at the end of a financial year expressed as percentage of those who were active customers at the beginning of the year. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Wang and Lo (2002) identified the Service Quality, Customer satisfaction and behaviour intentions, relationship between the Service Quality Factors, Overall Service Quality, Customer Value, Customers Satisfaction and Behaviour Intentions. The significant impact is identified between the tangibles, reliability on overall service quality; assurance and empathy on overall service quality, tangibles, empathy, network quality and customer sacrifice on customer value, reliability, assurance and Network quality on customer satisfaction and customer value and satisfaction on behaviour intentions. Lather and Kaur (2006) in their study on Malls in India analysed the influence of selected attributes on store patronage for doing shopping. The authors highlighted that shopper decision on retail format depends upon store characteristics. Keeping these facts, the researchers had studied the nine characteristics of Malls to elaborate the enthralling shopping experiences. The study provided academics, Mall developers and retailers a richer understanding of various components that contribute to malls experiences. Angana Borah and A.P.Singh (2008) Emerging Issues in the Organised Retail Sector: A study of Guwahati city opined that a retail image that appeals to part of retailers. The retail image is strengthened through the shopping experiences that a customer. Page 42
3 Sengupta and Noopur Agarwal, (2008) In-Store Promotion - A relevant Promotional tool in Organised Retailing, estimated the organised retail pie to comprise clothing, textiles and fashion accessories 40 per cent, food and grocery 19 per cent, durable 13 per cent, footwear 9 per cent, Jewelry and watches, home doctor 7 per cent, books, music and gifts 3 per cent, beauty products 2 per cent and others 7 per cent. Jai Awatramani, and et.al (2009) Customer Shopping Behavior - Organised & Unorganised Retail in Mumbai, India, They concluded that items which are purchased on daily basis will be preferred on basis of closeness to the stores- organised or unorganised, for items which customers prefer to purchase once in a week have a higher probability in going in for organised retail. Mahesh, D and et. al, ( 2011) A Study on Intention and Attitude of Consumer Behaviour towards Retail Stores in Chennai District, The study found out that there was significant difference among the gender, age of the respondents and factors of shopping intention. The study concluded that an understanding and knowledge of various factors that led to shopping intention and attitude of the consumer would help the retailers to climb the high ladder in the market. NEED FOR THE STUDY In order to sharpen the marketing mix companies have been moving from marketing at the aggregate level, called Mass Marketing, to Mass customization to the level of 1-to-1 marketing where each customer is treated as a separate segment. The factors that have weighed heavily on this decision are the need to fine-tune the marketing strategies and the realization that the cost of retaining customer (read servicing) an existing customer is much lower than acquiring a new customer. SCOPE OF THE STUDY The Indian market has seen vast changes in political, economical and social environment, which has a great impact on consumption. With the Indian as well as international corporate entering into the Indian retail scenario the market has been divided between the traditional and the organized sector. The Indian retail scenario is presently facing the similar situations as the mom and pop stores in the developing nations faced at the emergence big box retailers. There are various issues that need to be addressed, like what would be future patterns of consumption, which formats of retail would be preferred by customers and will the rise of organized retail affect the traditional retailers. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM In the present scenario, customer motivation and satisfaction is under the control of business people and especially retailers. The situation of market and trends in price of commodities, mainly, under the control of these departments. They can raise the prices and they can down the prices according to the market situation. The growth and development of any retailers are depending on their marketing skills and business performance. The marketing skills depend on two factors, i.e. nature of commodity and attitude of customer towards the commodity and the business performance depends on marketing situation and schemes introduced to attract the customers. These two factors are depending on role and performance of neighborhood shops. It is necessary for a retailer to measure the sort and long term activities performed to attract and motivate customers. This is very much needed in retailing especially neighborhoods shops to develop significant sales of food and grocery to the customers. The researcher identifies the following problems are as under: changing economic environment, heavy initial investments, Malls to elaborate the enthralling shopping experiences, expectations and store atmosphere evaluations, financial and mobility restrictions, Influence patronage intentions, affects consumer format choice decisions, modern technology is another problem the retail industry faces, Despite security measures, theft, shoplifting, and fraud are ongoing problems for retailers, Consumer tastes and preferences can change rapidly and greatly affect demand for retail items. Fashion fads and product life cycles can be unpredictable and companies Page 43

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Customer retention strategies are not strictly independent of each other; value is function of not just price, quality and service but can also be enhanced by personalization and offering a memorable experience. Customers generally complain that full knowledge is not provided to them. Thus the retailer should properly disclose the features of the product and services to the customers. The retail sector is concerned they should make a careful study before making investments because the need of the hour and biggest challenge is the retail space and the cost of rentals. A maximum population residing in rural area in the Villupuram district and it is also observed that the consumers are price sensitive. The sales person retail selling is the major role to acquisition and retaining the customers. Retailers must take pain to make sure that sales person are educated, trained, experiences, and helping nature, has a neat and clean outlook and is cheerful knowledgeable. The study reveals that the customer acquisition in the electronic sector is very low. Therefore, the electronic products sellers need more attention on customer acquisition process. The study also reveals that the retaining the customer is in the textiles is difficulty due change life style, fashion etc, Hence, the textile industries is to provide wide range of products options with quality and reasonable price.

13 CONCLUSION The present article concludes that, the customer acquisition and retention is the vital goal for every business firms that emphasize on the relationships with customers. While the precise meaning and measurement of customer retention can differ by industries and firms there appears to be a general agreement perceiving customer retention is a tool to yield several economic benefits.

This results in a decrease in the cost of maintaining relationships with customers. Customer retention is beyond satisfying and maintaining existing customers. Hence, attention on this area is greatly needed in order to further improve the firm s performance. It is believed that customer retention strategy will be a great management tool for retailers to survive and grow in the very competitive retailing industry. The findings of this study in addition to the implications given are expected to enlighten the practices of customer retention within retailing sector. REFERENCES 1.
