Introduction To Marketing
 MEANING:
Before moving to the main topic, the term marketing
should be understood formerly. Today marketing is the
pivotal function of any business. Whether small or large,
simple or complex, public or private – the real test of every
business is in the market.
 WILLIAM STANTON DEFINES:

“Marketing is a total system of interacting business
activities design to plan promote & distribute want
satisfying products and serve as to present and potential
customers.”
 FEATURES:
 Marketing creates time, place & possessions utility.
 Includes all activities from manufacturing to

consumption.
 Aims at satisfying human wants.
 Marketing creates customer.

 IMPORTANCE OF MARKETING:
 Marketing raises standard of living.
 Marketing creates employment.
 Marketing acts as a source of new ideas.
 Marketing acts as a source of income.
 Marketing helps in development of economy.
 CONSUMER ORIENTED MARKETING:
Modern concept of marketing is more than the physical

activity. The modern concept is consumer oriented.
Marketing is the function of the business which is concerned
with the creation of the customers.
According to Modern Concept:

“A fi rm makes continuous & organized eff orts to fi nd out
what the members of the community needs and how it can
provide maximum satisfaction.”
CLASSIFICATION OF MARKETING FUNCTION

INDIAN CONSUMER’S WALLET ALLOCATION
Fig: Courtesy:
Consumer Outlook Survey
The above mentioned chart shows the distribution of
disposable income of an Indian consumer. The above chart
clearly shows that an indian consumer allocates only 1.8%
of his income to the footwear needs.
1.8% income of 100million customers makes the

footwear industry one of the biggest market players. A cut
throat competition is observed. Basically it is divided in
organized and unorganized sector – of which the
unorganized rule.
In the organized sector there are national as well

multinational brands which are competing for they larger
share of pie i.e. bigger indian market share.

BATA’S SHARE IN FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY :

Chart: 1 MARKET SHARE OF BATA INDIA LTD.
The Indian footwear industry is mainly dominated by the

unorganized sector. The non branded items are more popular
and economical to the Indian crowd.
As the income of the Indian customer is considerably low
as compared to other developing nations, the consumers
prefer cheaper goods which are sold by the street hawkers
and road sellers. Hence, the unorganized sector eats the
major share of the pie.
Bata has the major share amongst the organized brands
in the market. It accounts for near about 9%

MARKETING SETUP OF BATA

Introduction:
Marketing is an integral an the vital component of

todays business unit. Marketing is a channel by which the
needed product travels from the manufacturers to the
market customers.
Bata Marketing:
The marketing division of Bata employs around 4,400
persons directly. In addition to selling footwear
manufactured in its factories, the Company also markets
footwear, accessories and other merchandise purchased by
it from contract manufacturers.
RETAIL
Bata India Ltd. has special division which looks after the
retail sector. This segment primarily looks after the
marketing eff orts of the Company operated outlets.
Bata specially targets the individual customer world
wide. Bata gathers 98% of its revenue collection from such
retail outlets..
For greater effi ciency andcoordinated marketing eff orts
this group is further divided in two sub groups.
 FLAGSHIP CITY:
This group caters to the higher end products and to
premier dealer outlets.
 FAMILY & BAZAAR

Bata mainly aims at satisfying the needs of the
individual customers. It tries to reach the maximum
customers with as many outlets are possible. For e.g. in
Nasik it self we have 8 company retail outlets. This family &
bazaar outlets are generally designed by keeping in mind
the average income groups of the indian consumers. The
indian consumers are generally of middle class nature.
Hence family & bazaar furnish with the economical products.
These groups caters to economy products and are more
dependent on sales volumes. This group accounts for over
80% of the Company’s sales in volume terms.
 NON RETAIL
This segment caters primarily to the non exclusive

dealer outlets which market the Bata range of products.
 EXPORTS:
The company operates in both the national as well as

international markets. The main focus of the company is the
domestic market but it also pays it attention to the world
market which makes it a global brand.
The share of exports in total revenue of the company
is only 2%. The company is not totally export oriented.
 WHOLESALE:
This group looks after sales carried out through non

exclusive dealers across the country. The company allows
some of the dealers to stock the company’s product in their
own private shops. The dealers sell the goods from their own
private retail shops. Company appoints them on the
commission basis on the volume of the sales.
 ADVERTISEMENT & PROMOTION
Introduction:
The main aim of today’s business organizations is to

create a customer. The customer has a wide range of
products to choose from. The customer has to be informed
about positives of the company’s product. Advertisement is
now a days an integral function of every organization. The
company’s have to fi ght in the market arena hence they
continuously induce the customer to buy their product.
Companies expend a lot of their amount in

advertisement. They adopt new and innovative means to
reach the customer. In order to survive in this market
competition they put continuous eff ort in this fi eld.
Modern Trends:
In modern times, the company advertises on, T.V.

commercials, Radios, SMS, Internet. Companies advertise
their product through hoardings and boards which are placed
on the signals, buildings, on buses & trains. To reach the
individual customer directly distribution of leafl ets,
broachers, salesmanship are commonly observed practices.
To attract customers the company organizes various sales
and introduces some interesting festival schemes.
Footwear Advertisers:
Bata has an advertising and sales promotion department to

look after sales promotions, brand management and other
marketing tools engaged by the Company to aid its product
marketing eff orts. This department works closely with both
the Retail and well as Non Retail segments of the marketing
division of the Company.
 HOARDINGS & BOARDS:
Hanging the boards on the roadside is one of the

common practices. It creates the awareness amongst the
residents and the pathwalkers about the branch and its
availability. The Boards are economical, fl exible, and
feasible in nature. Boards even acts as a permanent
asset .
The Bata company retail outlets advertise their branch

through hoardings and boards. At a nearby distance of
every retail outlet a board directing towards Bata shoe
store is observed.
In Nashik, at all retail the sign boards are common.

Some Pictures are attached below.
 CATALOUGES:
Bata Catalogues contain essential information

regarding the product off ered by the company. Well designed
catalogue provide complete information regarding products,
their pictures, size, specifi cations, colors, packing, uses and
prices. The products are properly listed and indexed in order
to facilitate order book and processing.
 SALES & SCHEMES:
The business organizations try to attract the

customers by various promotional off ers, sales, festive
sales & schemes, stock clearance sales. The company
provides huge discounts and concessions to induce the
customer to buy their products.
The Indian consumers are in general we can say

“Discount Oriented”. As we see no. of sales & off ers
throughout. The main success mantra of Big Bazaar
departmental stores is the ‘Sell at Discount’.
In Nashik Bata Outlets we observe schemes like:-

* Autumn Sale * Stock Clearance Sale * Heavy Discount .
 DISCOUNTS COUPONS & CONCESSIONS:
The company off ers small chits or certifi cates which

off er price reductions to consumers for certain items. They
are distributed through newspapers, magazines, package of
the merchandise or even by direct mail. They off er special
functions like they enthuse the consumers to exploit the
bargain and serve as an inducement to the channel to stock
the merchandise through introducing coupons. They are
useful in introducing a new product and strengthening the
sale of an existing product.
Bata Off ers the special discount round the year to the
shareholders of Bata India Ltd. A coupon is attached…
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Introduction:
Marketing aims at satisfying the ultimate needs of the
customers. It acts as a channel of distribution to deliver the
goods to the ultimate consumer. Dispersing function
includes Selling, Transportation, Storing, Grading, Financing,
Risk bearing…etc.
Bata’s Distribution Channel:

Bata markets its products through 3 distinct channels .
 Dealers Network:
The Company also uses the dealer network of the
footwear industry to market its products. Through this
channel, the Company supplies its products to non-
exclusive wholesale distributors who in turn distribute the
Company’s products to independent dealers across the
country. The dealers covered under this channel are non-
exclusive Bata dealers and hence sell footwear and related
products of other companies also.
 Market Extension Programme:

Under this programme, the Company appoints
authorised dealers, subject to certain selection criteria
who run outlets which exclusively market the Company’s
products and adhere to rules and regulations of the

Company. As on date, there are 470 such outlets in the
country. The dealer outlets are not manned by Bata
employees but are manned by the employees of the
private dealer.
 Company Operated Retail Outlets:
The company operates its own channel of distribution

network. It establishes is own retail outlets across the globe.
It sells its own produced products and others merchandise
products.

Competition In
The Market
The footwear industry is a very competitive market.
The major share in this market is of the unorganized sector.
The Indian consumer generally prefers the non- branded
goods which comes with a reasonable quality and at much
cheaper rates as compared to the branded goods.
At present unorganized sector holds the biggest piece of the

pie i.e. 74%, Bata holds 6%, Lakhani 1.5%, Khadims
1%.Competitor: KHADIMS
COMPETITORS
With its foray in IN NASIK
footwear retailing
in 1993 Khadim’s has
scripted one of the biggest success stories in the footwear
industry. With the birth of independent India began a
journey that was to set an example for others to follow.
Growing from strength to strength, Khadims have converted
every obstacle they encountered into a stepping-stone
towards success.
Khadim’s is among the top three national players

in terms of organised footwear retailing. It has more than
250 exclusive retail outlets accross the country. Khadims
also has a retail outlet in College Rd. – Nasik.
Competitor: UNORGANISED SECTOR
In the Indian Market, The biggest competitor is the

unorganized sector. It attracts a large quantity of consumers
because of its reasonable rates and aff ordable quality.
The unorganized sector holds the major share of

74% in the Indian footwear industry.
In Nasik, we fi nd such shops on a large scale. In

Shalimar, M.G. Road, College Rd., RK, Panchvati we fi nd such
shops. Majority of the customers purchase non branded
items. Where in showrooms we fi nd Daily Customer Walk in
of 40-45 persons, it is 110-115 for street sellers. The
advertisement is basically done by mouth to mouth publicity
& shouting on streets.
Observations & Findings

After intensive fi eld work and anlaysitation, the
marketing strategies are well designed but they seem to
prove in effi cient to tackle the cut throat competition of this
footwear industry.
Here, I present some of my observations.
1) Bata’s shoe designs are outdated and not as per the

current fashion statement.
2) Due to import of inferior quality goods the product

quality has decreased over a period.
3) The frontline sales forces have been curtailed by 70%

which aff ects the customer service. Company has
fi red 300 employees last year.
4) The company does not expend enough much on store

renovation as required.
5) The reach of the brand is not wide. The rural areas

are covered under the spectrum.
6) The leaves and off days are many as compared to

other competitive fi rms.
Suggestions &
Recommendations
It is well said, “Nothing Is Permanent Except Change”
Here, I recommend some steps.
1) Bata should carry on research to study the current

design demands. The designs can be imported from
China, Malaysia, Indonesia.
2) The production cost of those products which are high

can be imported from other countries.
3) The human resource should be appointed as required.

Curtailment aff ects customer satisfaction.
4) The Bata Shoe Stores, should be renovated as per

market requirements.
5) Instead of opening retail outlets, it should provide

agencies with good profi t margin to private
shopkeepers.
6) Company should provide agency in rural areas to

increase their sales. Bata should enter the Malls.
7) The outlets should operate 365 days with extended

working hours.
Customer Satisfaction
The prime aim of any business organization is to create a life
long customer. The product should satisfy the needs of the
customer and give them utmost satisfaction so they are attracted
towards other brands.
Bata holds the honor of being “ THE MOST PREFERRED

BRAND (FOOTWEAR)” – Images Magazine 2006.
During the field work, I collected some of the responses from

the customers using this brand.
I present some of the comments of the valued customers.
1)
Conclusion
The marketing strategies of Bata are well designed,
but with the passing time they are required to be amended
as per the current competitive demand.
The Bata Company should concentrate on increasing

its sale through agents and dealers instead of increasing its
outlets which ultimately increases overheads.
Bata, because of superior quality and customer

preference is the leader of the industry. Slight modifi cations
in current strategies will assure that it remains on the top.
