...IMPROVING THE RETAIL EXPERIENCE SUBMITTED BY: Siddharth K. Mehta Associate Consultant EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Even with all the money spent in handling the communications around a brand, so much of a consumer’s intellect of a brand comes through the retail experience. This is particularly true in a retail environment where ensuring brand and retail consistency can be more stimulating than with the manufacturing of products. The entire sense of the retail store strengthens the brand’s image of friendly, easy-to-use and stylish computer. Retail today has changed from selling a product or a service to selling a hope, an ambition and above all an experience that a consumer would like to repeat. Whether you call it customer service, customer experience, good selling habits, or simply doing the right thing, in retail you are only as successful as your last customer interaction. Lack of recognition as an industry creates challenges for the retail sector in many ways. Creating a powerful retail experience begins with a commitment to consistency. It begins with an understanding of what the brand is intended to mean. It begins with a gratitude for how the brand meaning should shape the retail experience. It begins with the consciousness that for retail brands, the retail experience is very much the brand experience. It is always useful to have better customer insights, which will help to target the appropriate market segments. Program strategy then can be defined to improve...

Housing sector is experiencing a boom in its credit. The retail loan market has decisively got transformed from a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market. Gone are the days where getting a retail loan was somewhat cumbersome. All these emphasise the momentum that retail banking is experiencing in the Indian economy in recent years. What is Retail Banking? Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of commercial banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides of the balance sheet. Fixed, current / savings accounts on the liabilities side; and mortgages, loans (e.g., personal, housing, auto, and educational) on the assets side, are the more important of the products offered by banks.

...Issue 1, pp: (29-39), Month: April - June 2014, Available at: www.paperpublications.org An Analysis of Indian Banking Industry with Special Reference to ICICI Bank Sana Samreen Abstract: The last decade has seen many positive developments in the Indian banking sector. The policy makers, which comprise the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Ministry of Finance and related government and financial sector regulatory entities, have made several notable efforts to improve regulation in the sector. The sector now compares favorably with banking sectors in the region on metrics like growth, profitability and non-performing assets (NPAs). However, improved regulations, innovation, growth and value creation in the sector remains limited to a small part of it. The cost of banking intermediation in India is higher and bank penetration is far lower than in other markets. India’s banking industry needs to strengthen itself significantly In this paper, I have mainly focused on the overall analysis of the banking industry through framework like Porter’s five forces model. I have also concentrated upon the various developments being done in the industry along with recognizing the upcoming challenges as well as the opportunities to reap the profits even in troubled waters. Keywords: Indian banking industry, Porters five force model, market regulation. I. Introduction The Indian banking industry, which is governed by the Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 can be broadly classified...
