The team conducted retail survey based on 3 components


1. Observation
Core Objective
To conduct a comprehensive assessment of the presence and performance of Meme Western
Clothing Brand in selected retail outlets.
Actions used to achieve objective
Conducted physical visits to selected retail outlets featuring Meme Western Clothing Brand for
firsthand insights into brand presence and performance. Evaluated Meme's prominence against
competitors and ensure consistent data collection by assessing inventory levels during store
visits.
The major factors and constructs
The retail report examines major constructs including brand visibility and placement, inventory
levels, availability, personal space, traffic flow, colors, lighting, and overall store environment
and presentation.
Findings
Brand Visibility and Placement: In analyzing major constructs and quantitative statistics for Meme,
the brand has strategically positioned itself for high visibility and accessibility, particularly
within larger malls with complex layouts like Dolmen Mall Clifton, Luckyone. Despite potential
challenges in navigating such spaces, Meme's focus on prominent locations near or beside
competitors ensures convenient access for customers.

Inventory Levels and Availability: Inventory management appears robust, with 80% of products
deemed sufficient, 0% reported unavailability, and a minor 20% falling into the category of
excessive inventory. Notably, the inventory for men and women adequately meets customer
demand while maintaining a balance between sufficiency and excess. However, there is a
noticeable gap in inventory for kids, indicating potential room for improvement in catering to
this demographic.

Personal Space and Traffic Flow: The analysis of personal space and traffic flow indicates that the
store layout is generally organized to facilitate easy navigation, providing ample space between
displays and aisles. During peak times or special events, larger outlets may experience increased
foot traffic, with an average of 40-50 purchases per day recorded on Tariq Road outlet.

Colors and lightning: Regarding colors and lighting, the majority of respondents find them
appealing (40%) or sufficient (50%), but concerns arise from the absence of aroma, music issues,
and a low vibe—particularly significant given the target market is Gen Z.

Store Environment and Presentation: In terms of the store environment and presentation, a majority
of respondents express positive sentiments, with 23% finding it attractive and 75% considering it
good. However, there is room for improvement, as 2% of respondents perceive the environment
as bad, and some customers note that it falls somewhat short compared to competitors.
2. Retail store insights
Core Objective
To conduct a thorough analysis of sales trends for our modern fashion wear brand across selected
retail outlets. This assessment will involve identifying popular product categories, evaluating
price ranges, and analyzing generated revenue. Additionally, we will assess inventory levels and
gather insights into customer perceptions of value for money.
Actions used to cater objective
Possible Insights collected via physical interviews of the POC(Available in stores that time) .
Information collected in the light of approved questionnaire designed to gather meaningful
insights.
The major factors and constructs
The analysis encompasses key aspects of Meme's operations, exploring the effectiveness of its
store layout, staff interaction and engagement, competitive positioning, product placement
strategy, cross-selling initiatives, visual merchandising efforts, and its adaptability to seasonal
variations.
Findings
Store Layout: Quantitative analysis of Meme's store layout reveals a division with 35% allocated
to the Men's section, 45% to the Women's section, and 20% to the Kids' section. Despite clear
section labeling, customer feedback emphasizes a need for a more strategic layout. Concerns are
raised about the positioning of the Kids' section at the end, potentially inconveniencing
customers seeking children's wear. This insight highlights an opportunity for Meme to optimize
its store layout for enhanced customer navigation and satisfaction.
Customer Interaction and Engagement: The data indicates that customer interaction and
engagement at Meme are reported as 16% engaging, 77% sufficient, and 7% dull. The qualitative
feedback sheds light on a significant concern – limited staff engagement. Customers note a
perceived lack of energy and motivation among the staff, particularly in comparison to
competitors. Addressing this aspect is crucial for Meme to elevate the overall shopping
experience and foster positive interactions with customers.
Competitor Comparison: Competitors like Outfitter, LAMA, and BREAKOUT showcase higher
staff diversity, vibrant atmospheres with pleasant aromas and energetic music. The welcoming
and busy demeanor of competitor staff contributes positively to the shopping experience. Meme
can draw valuable lessons from these competitors to enhance its own staff dynamics and store
ambiance.
Product Placement: Quantitative data on product placement reveals that hanger shelves account
for 50%, display racks for 35%, and mannequins for 15%. However, customer feedback
recommends reorganizing product placement to enhance the customer journey. The specific
mention of the Kids' section suggests a need for a more strategic arrangement, potentially in line
with the placement of Men's and Women's sections. Additionally, increasing visual
merchandising efforts could contribute to a more appealing presentation of products.
Cross Selling Opportunities: Customer feedback indicates limited cross-selling opportunities,
with responses stating that there are no significant initiatives beyond undergarments. Meme has
an opportunity to explore and implement strategic cross-selling strategies to encourage
customers to explore a broader range of products during their shopping experience.
Visual Merchandising: While the availability of visual merchandising is acknowledged,
qualitative feedback suggests that its placement is not effective. This insight provides a clear
opportunity for Meme to assess and refine the strategic positioning of visual merchandising
elements, ensuring they enhance the overall aesthetics of the store and attract customer attention
effectively.
Seasonal Variations: The report highlights that Meme successfully implements seasonal
variations for both summer and winter across all three categories – men's, women's, and kids'
wear. This demonstrates adaptability to market trends and customer preferences, contributing
positively to the store's overall appeal.
3. Consumer Insight from retailer
Core Objective
To estimate the customer footfall in the respective outlet and clinch customer behavior from
seller’s perspective.
Actions used to cater objective
Engage with Point of Contact (POC) at Meme stores in malls to gather crucial data on customer
preferences, purchasing behavior, and promotional activities for a comprehensive analysis.
The major factors and constructs
The comprehensive evaluation covers the spectrum of pricing dynamics, ranging from the least
expensive to the most expensive products, as well as identifying the top-selling items and
assessing their perceived value for money. Additionally, the report scrutinizes footfall patterns,
delving into brand preferences among customers, analyzing the impact of promotions on brand
switching behavior, and exploring the influence of TV commercials and celebrity endorsements
on consumer perceptions.
Findings
Least Expensive: Meme's product range includes basic T-shirts, identified as the least expensive
items, serving as popular and affordable choices for both men and women. This category's
affordability and wide appeal contribute to its status as a high-volume, budget-friendly offering
within the store.
Most Expensive: In contrast, the most expensive items identified are Men's Leather Jackets
priced at Rs. 12,490 and Women's Tracksuits at Rs. 10,190. These higher-priced items may cater
to a more niche market seeking premium quality or specialized products, contributing to a
diverse pricing strategy within Meme's inventory.
Most Selling: Basic T-shirts remain the best-selling items, priced at Rs. 2390 for 2 pieces,
highlighting their popularity and affordability. Additionally, Women's Spaghetti, priced at Rs.
1090, demonstrates a strong market demand, emphasizing the effectiveness of Meme's pricing
strategy and product positioning.
Value for Money: Customers perceive Meme's products as offering excellent value for money
across the board, reflecting positively on the brand's ability to provide affordable options without
compromising quality. This perception enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Footfall: The footfall analysis indicates that 13% of customers visit in the afternoon, 38% in the
evening, and 46% at night. The detailed count, with around 200 visitors in the afternoon, 500 in
the evening, and 600 at night, provides valuable insights into peak hours, allowing for strategic
planning of staffing and promotional activities.
Brand Preference: Outfitter emerges as the preferred brand, with customers noting the appeal of
seasonal and festival promotions as well as promotions for new arrivals
Brand Switching (Promotion Effect): Customer responses indicate a 100% brand switching rate,
emphasizing the significant impact of effective marketing on customer behavior. The correlation
between effective TV commercials (TVC) and increased brand switching is highlighted,
showcasing the importance of promotional efforts in influencing consumer choices.
TVC/Celebrity Impact: The impact of TV commercials (TVC) is reported to be 50%, with
retailers attributing multiple times increase in sales to effective TVC campaigns. Celebrity
endorsements also play a significant role, with 49% of retailers expressing belief in their positive
impact on the decision-making process. This insight underscores the importance of strategic
marketing efforts, including TVC and celebrity endorsements, in enhancing brand visibility and
sales.
Key Findings from Retail Survey
In summary, while Meme demonstrates strengths in brand visibility, inventory management, and
store layout, there are opportunities for improvement in areas like inventory for kids, ambiance
enhancements, and addressing concerns related to aroma and music to better align with the
preferences of the Gen Z target market.
Meme exhibits strengths in seasonal variations and well-labeled sections but should address
opportunities in optimizing the store layout, improving staff engagement, refining product
placement, exploring cross-selling initiatives, and strategically placing visual merchandising
elements to elevate the overall shopping experience and stay competitive in the market.
Overall, these detailed insights into pricing, customer preferences, footfall patterns, and the
impact of marketing efforts provide a comprehensive understanding of Meme's market
positioning and opportunities for further growth and refinement.
