EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This training was a great learning for me to relate my theoretical aspects with the practical
knowledge and it gives me an idea regarding reality prevailing in corporate world. Because of
this training I came to know how can I relate my theory with the practical knowledge. This
training was my first hand experience with the corporate world. In this competitive scenario it is
necessary to understand the experience of customers to establish long lasting relationship with
the customers.
There is an opportunity to learn & understand the process how the Louis Philippe deals with the
customers & how they convert them from an another brand to Louis Philippe. Louis Philippe is
the Top leading brand of apparel industry in the India.
Sales promotion is necessary to increase the sales in this competitive market. So this company
also use the consumer oriented as well as trade oriented sales promotion. Though the company is
doing various types of sales promotion then also there might be the scope for not satisfied
customer so I try to analyze it through questionnaire.
From my research I find the good performance on the part of company and they are able to fight
in this scenario where competition is very tough. From my research I came to know that the
overall the satisfaction level is good & it shows the goodwill of the company in the customer
mind.

SKPIMCS Page 11
1.4 Opportunities in Indian retail sector :-
the opportunities in Indian organized retail sector are many for this sector is witnessing a boom.
The retail industry in India amounted to US$ 200 billion in 2006, and out of this amount the
Indian organized retail sector amounted to US$ 6.4 billion. The opportunities in India organized
retail sector can be judged from the fact that by 2010 its is expected to rise to US$ 23 billion.
The various opportunities in the organized retail sector in India are mainly there for the Indian
consumer behavior pattern have changed. Now the Indian consumer gets more hefty pay-
packages, is younger, a large number of women are working, western influences, and more
disposable income have opened a lot of opportunities in India organized retail sector. The Indian
consumer wants to stop, eat and get entertainment in one place and also given Indian organized
retail sector on opportunity to grow.
The Indian government in 2005 allowed foreign direct investment (FDI) in single brand retail to
51% this have opened up a lot of opportunities in India organized retail sector. In fact 325
department stores, 300 new malls, and 1500 supermarket are being built which shows the
tremendous opportunities in the organized retail sector in India.
Many Indian companies seeing the various opportunities in organized retail sector in India have
entered it. Pantaloons have decided to increase its retail space to 30 million square feet with an
investment of US$ 1 billion. Reliance industries limited is targeting for annual sales of US$ 25
billion by 2011. It is planning to invest US$ 6 billion in order to open 1,500 supermarkets and

The opportunities in Indian organized retail sector are varied and it must be fully exploited by
the Indian retailers.
SKPIMCS Page 12
The challengers facing the Indian organized retail sector are various and these are stopping the
Indian retail industry from reaching its full potential. The behavior patterns of the Indian
consumer have undergone a major change. These have happened for the Indian consumer is
earning more now western influences. Women working force is increasing desire for luxury
items and better quality. He now wants to eat shop and get entertainment under the same roof.
All these have lead the Indian organized retail sector to give more in order to satisfy the Indian
customer.
The biggest challenge facing the Indian organized retail sector is the lack of retail space with real
estate prices escalating due to increase in demand from the Indian organized retail sector. It is
posing a challenge to its growth. With Indian retailers having ti shell our more retail space it is
affecting their overall profitability in retail.
Trained manpower shortage is a challenge facing the organized retail sector in India. The Indian
retailers have difficulty in finding trained person and also have to pay more in order to retain
them. This again brings down the Indian retailers profit levels.
The Indian government has allowed 51% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the India retail
sector to one brand shop only. These have made the entry of global retail giants to organized
retail sector in India difficult. This is a challenge being faced by the Indian organized many
Indian companies are also entering the Indian organized retail sector like reliance industries
Limited. Pantaloons and bharti telecoms. But they are facing stiff competition from these global
retail giants. As a Indian retailers. All these are posting as challenges facing the Indian organized
retail sector.
SKPIMCS Page 13
1.5 Role of supply chain in Indian organized retail :-
The role of supply chain In Indian organized retail is very significant for on it depend the growth
of this sector. The Indian supply chain council have been formed to explore the challenges that a
retailer faces and to find possible solution for India.
The role of supply chain in the organized retail sector in India should be a shelf centric
partnership between the retailer and the manufacturer for this will create supply chain that are
loss free. This will also give rise to top and bottom line growth. In the organized retail sector in
India the presence of the fresh product (vegetables and fruits) is very small. This is so far the
nature of supply chain is very fragmented. This shows the important role of supply chain in the
organized retail sector in India.
In the organized retail market in India the role of supply chain is very important for the Indian
customer demand at affordable prices a variety of product mix. It is the supply chain that ensures
to the customer in all the various offerings that companies decide for its customer, be it cost,
service, or the quickness in responding to ever changing tastes of the customer.
The infrastructure in India in terms of road, rail, and air links are not sufficient. And so
warehousing plays a major role as an aspect of supply chain operation.
To overcome these problems, the Indian retailer is trying to reduce to trans portion costs and is
investing in logistics though partnership or directly. The Indian organized retail sector is growing
so the role of supply chain becomes all the more important. It should become all the more
responsive and adaptive to win the immense competition in this sector.
The role of supply chain in Indian organized retail has expanded over the year with the boom in
this industry. The growth of the Indian retail industry to a large extended depends on supply
chain, so efforts must be made by the Indian retailers to maintain it properly.

1.6 Employment Generation by Indian Organized Retail Sector:-
Lots of employment generation by Indian organized retail sector in near future. India is going
through a radical economic change. Through it is very infant stage, people can feel the climate is
Changing. The unorganized retailer takes the lion’s share in the Indian retail sector, but the
organized retailer are growing at a good pace, and promises an increase of proportion of 9-10 %
By 2010, this is to be the largest sector after the agricultural sector.
The increase in the number of consumer twinned with the introduction of organized sector has
brought numerous corporate investments in retail sector. The entries of super markets, enormous
departmental stores. And shopping malls have encouraged the retailers to look at new business
plans of expansion.
An economic growth on a monumental scale is offered by the Indian retail sector, equally in the
national and international market which in turn will generate a huge source of employment and a
variety of options for the consumers. The Ernst & Young’s report the Great Indian Retail Story,
anticipates that the Indian retail sector would come up with 2 million employment opportunities
within the year 2010.
SKPIMCS Page 15
1.7 Benefits to the economic growth:-
• Better quality products and services would lead to better competition
• More exports bring more foreign direct investments
• Organized Indian retail sector would encourage tourism
• Along with the employment boom there would be a vast development in the expertise of
the human resource
• There would remain future scope for improvements in agriculture, small, and medium
scaled with the help of the Indian retail sector
• The present employment in the retail business is nearly 4 cores and around 20 cores
depend on this sector. There is a scope of better exposure to the international standards
with the entry of transnational companies, which in turn is encouraging more & more
retail management programs to open up and help bridging the gap of supply & demand of
talented professional for management.
SKPIMCS Page 16
1.8 Indian Organized Retail Sector’s Impact On Lifestyles:-
The Indian organized retail sector’s impact changed the lifestyle of the Indian consumers
drastically. The evident increase in consumerist is colossal which has already chipped
out a money making recess for the Indian organized retail sector.
With the onset of a globalized economy in India, the Indian consumer’s psyche has been
changed. People have become aware of the value of money. Nowadays the Indian consumers are
well versed with concepts about quality of products & service. These demands are the visible
impacts of the Indian retail sector.
Since the liberalization policy of 1990, the Indian economy, and its consumers are getting whiff
of the latest national & international products, the with help of print & electronic media. The
social changes with the rapid economic growth due to trained personnel’s, fast modernization,
and enhanced availableness of retail space are the positive effects of liberalization.
The growth factors of organized retail in India are:-
• Increase in per capita income which in turn increase the household consumption
• Demographical changes and improvements in the standard of living changes in patterns
of consumption and availability of low-cost consumer credit
• Improvements in infrastructure and enhanced availability of retail space
• Entry to various sources of financing
The non-food sector, segments comprising apparel, accessories, fashion, lifestyle felt the
significant changes with the emergences of new stores formats like convenience stores, mini
marts, mini supermarkets, large supermarkets, and hyper markets. Even food retailing has
became an important retail business in national arena, with format retail stores, establishing
stores all over India.
With the entry of packaged foods like MRT, ITC Ashura, fast foods chains like McDonald’s,
KFC, beverage parlour’s like Nescafe, Tata Tea, Café Coffee and Barista, the India food habits
has been altered. These stores have earned the reputation of being ‘super saver locations’.
India will be a unique business arena in whole of the global economy, for the social and
economic parameters would overrule the big bang of the vivid competition, previously mastered
by the unorganized retail sector, India opened up late as an economy in 1990 until then the idea
of retail formats were spread by the government.
SKPIMCS Page 17
1.9 Emerging trends in Indian organized retail sector:-
The emerging treads in the Indian organized retail sector would help the economics growth in
India.
There is a fantastic rise in the Indian organized retail sector in a very short period of the time
between 2001 and 2006. Eventually, out of the shadows of the unorganized retail sector. India
has a chance of tremendous economic growth, both in India and abroad.
The emerging trends in the Indian organized retail sector are also adding up to the development
of the Indian organized retail sector. The relaxation by the government on regulatory controls on
foreign direct investment has added to the process of the growth of the Indian organized retail
sector.
The infrastructure of the retail sector will evolve radically in the recent future. The emergencies
of shopping malls are increasing at a steady pace in the metros and there are further plans of
expansion which would lead to 150 new ones coming up in India by 2008. As the count of super
market is going up much faster than rate of growth in retail sector, it is talking the lions share in
food trade.
The growth of the Indian organized retail sector is anticipated to be heavier than the growth of
the gross domestic product. Alteration in people’s lifestyle, growth in income levels, and
encouraging convention of demography are proving favorable for the new emerging trends in the
Indian organized retail sector.
The success of the retail sector would also lie in the degree of penetration into lower income
strata to tap the possible customers in the lowest levels of society. The demands of the buyers
would also be enhanced by more access to credit facilities.
With the arrival of the transnational companies (TNC), the India retail sector will undergo a
transformation. At present the foreign direct investments (FDI) Is not encouraged in the Indian
organized retail sector but once the TNC’S get in they inevitably try to oust their Indian
counterparts. This would be challenging to the retail sector in India.
The trends to follow in the future:
• The Indian organized retail sector will grow up to 10% of the total retailing by 2010.
• No one single format can be assumed as there is a huge difference in cultures regionally.
• The most encouraging format now would be the hyper marts.
• The hyper mart format would be further encouraged with the entry of the TNCs.

1.10 Growth of Retail Companies in India: Overview
Growth of retail companies in India s still not yet in a matured stage with grate potentials within
this sector still to be explored, apart from the retail company like Nilgiri’s of Bangalore, most of
the retail companies are section of other industries that have stepped in the retail sector for a
batter business. The growth of retail companies in India is most pronounced in the metro cities of
India. However the smaller towns are also not lagging behind in this. The retail companies are
not only targeting the four metros in India but also is considering the second graded upcoming
cities like Ahmadabad, Baroda, Chandigarh, Coimbatore, cochin, Ludhiana, pune, Trivandrum,
simla, gurgaun, and others.

1.11Apparel Industry
The apparel and textile manufacturing industry has historically been one that has few barriers to
entry, little capital investment needed and a high level of low-skilled labor involved—a few
sewing machines, a bit of training and some dim electric lights were enough to start up a factory.
When China’s wages were extremely low, the nation had a clear advantage in this industry,
particularly in light of its tendency to cluster factories near shipping ports and logistics centers so
that goods could be sent to customers with minimal delay. Today, however, wages are climbing
very rapidly as China’s urban workers have many options in terms of places and industries in
which to work. Demand for workers is high, and they are able to expect much higher pay than
those in less-developed nations
Esquel has manufactured clothing on behalf of brands including Banana Republic, Tommy
Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie & Fitch, Nike, Louis Philippe ,Nordstrom
and Lands’ End, as well as private-label items for retailers such as Marks & Spencer. The
Esquel companies transform their fabric into premium men’s and women’s wear at plants in
China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The company also sells its
products through its proprietary brand, PYE, which markets high-end cotton apparel in China
with a flagship luxury retail store in Beijing. Esquel maintains group sales offices in select
locations around the world, including U.S. offices in New York City and regional locations
convenient to key accounts. Unlike many textile companies, the firm has an expressed strategy
of in-company resource development, seeking to ensure high standards of quality and
consistency across all of its product lines.
Meanwhile, some manufacturers outside of Asia have become both efficient and quick to react to
consumer trends. The most notable company in this category is Spain’s Inditex. The firm is
famous for its lean inventory and fast-fashion strategy. It can get a new item of clothing from its
300-person design team, through its manufacturing plants and into its thousands of stores in as
little as two weeks. The company operates several manufacturing facilities in Spain. Many of its
outside suppliers are located in Spain and elsewhere in Europe. The firm has been opening large
numbers of new retail stores under the Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti and Oyosho brands.
Apparel and accessory retailers generally enjoyed substantial growth in sales around the world
during recent decades. Leading American, Japanese and European brands opened large numbers
of new stores in developing markets in Asia and elsewhere.
During 2015, America exported $23.7 billion in textiles and apparel (down from $24.4 billion
the previous year) and imported $111.9 billion (up from $107.5 billion). These numbers are
from the U.S. International Trade Administration.
In the European Union (EU), the textile and apparel sector is quite large, particularly in Spain,
where global leaders like Inditex have their headquarters, as well as in nations that enjoy lower
operating costs, such as the Baltic States and Eastern European States. Nearby, the textile and
apparel industry remains a major part of the economy of Turkey. South America, Central
America and Africa also play minor roles in world apparel trade. Globally, the World Trade
Organization (WTO) reports that apparel and textile exports were $797.4 billion in 2014, up
substantially from $766.2 billion the year before.
Trade agreements among the U.S. and its trading partners attempt to foster employment in
certain parts of the world (such as low-income areas in the Caribbean) and allow U.S. consumers
fair access to reasonably priced goods, while providing some sort of relief to U.S.-based
businesses. Because trade agreements will never satisfy all parties concerned, they tend to lead
SKPIMCS Page 20
to controversy and much critical discussion. On the retail end, consumers of apparel have long
enjoyed wide selections and moderate prices in North America, Asia, Europe and elsewhere.
During 2015, retail sales at clothing, shoes and accessories stores in the U.S. totalled $223.7
billion (after subtracting jewellery sales of $30.5 billion), according to the Bureau of the Census.
In addition, Plunkett Research estimates that 80% ($132.4 billion) of sales at department stores,
as well as 60% ($27.9 billion) of sales at sporting goods stores were for apparel and shoes.
Assuming that 17% ($59.0 billion) of the goods sold via e-commerce in America consist of
apparel, shoes and accessories, this would put the total retail and online clothing, shoes and
accessories market in America at $443.0 billion.
Apparel retailing has always been a tough, highly competitive business, and many chains rise
dramatically and then fail. Retail fashion merchandising is a vast challenge (witness the recent
ups and downs of retail giant The Gap). Just-in-time inventory, driven by highly computerized
supply chain management systems, is now an immense asset to major retailers.
While Asia, particularly China, has enjoyed a dominant position in shoes, apparel and household
textiles manufacturing for several years, makers of these items located in developed nations such
as the U.S. and Canada have suffered a long period of decline. For example, roughly 98% of the
shoes sold in America each year are imports, and the majority of these imports come from Asia.
To consumers in Europe and North America, this growing reliance on Asia as a low-cost
producer has meant very low retail prices for goods of reasonable quality.
However, recent increases in the cost of doing business in China, including rapidly rising labour
costs, have put Chinese manufacturers in a much less favourable position. Competition from
manufacturing based in very low-cost nations in Africa, as well as Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri
Lanka, Mauritius, Malaysia, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Philippines and elsewhere is
intense, and a large portion of apparel manufacturing formerly done in China is moving to these
areas at a rapid pace.
China’s textile exports soared from $7.2 billion in 1990 to $111.7 billion in 2014, according to
the World Trade Organization’s International Trade Statistics 2015. India is a distant second in
this category, at $18.3 billion in 2014 (up from only $2.1 billion in 1990). Europe as a whole
(the EU28) also had strong exports at $74.8 billion.
In terms of apparel, China enjoyed a 38.6% market share of global exports in 2014, at $187
billion, up from a mere $8.9 billion in 1990. The rest of Asia, not including China, had a 21.3%
market share ($103 billion) in 2014, down from a 25.7% market share in 2013. The EU28
enjoyed a 6.6% market share ($32 billion), when considering only exports made to nations
outside the EU and ignoring intra-EU trade.
The apparel and textile manufacturing industry has historically been one that has few barriers to
entry, little capital investment needed and a high level of low-skilled labor involved—a few
sewing machines, a bit of training and some dim electric lights were enough to start up a factory.
When China’s wages were extremely low, the nation had a clear advantage in this industry,
particularly in light of its tendency to cluster factories near shipping ports and logistics centers so
that goods could be sent to customers with minimal delay. Today, however, wages are climbing
very rapidly as China’s urban workers have many options in terms of places and industries in
which to work. Demand for workers is high, and they are able to expect much higher pay than
those in less-developed nations.

Learning
From the very first week at Louis Philippe i.e. from 26th
of May I have joined Louis Philippe, I
have been given to observe the store, how they have well designed and managed products in
separate place and to observe how salesmen welcoming customer in the store , identify need of
customer how to show them proper garments and accessories .during this week I noted down all
company products available in the store and where everything is placed.
In the another week there was an end of season sale in the organization “End of session sale”
Starting from 9th
june,2017 to around 2 months.I have been given to do the call to the customers
for sale regarding information and new offers. I was doing 200 calls daily. it is like a
promotional scheme in which I need to make calls to the cutomers to invite them to purchase
Louis Philippe garments.That was the first good experience for me to call the premium cutomers
and to communicate with them.
From 9th
June I became more confident and started getting the knowledge of Louis Philippe and
communicating with the employees of Louis Philippe. The employees were very supportive and
cooperative to me. Moreover in Louis Philippe there is always a morning meeting arrangement
to get updated with the sales target and market. Everyone need to present in the meeting and do
give information regarding the sales like what they did yesterday and what is planning for today,
how much sales target are they going to cover today.
On the first day of sale lot’s of numbers of customers are coming in store and they getting
information about offer and start selection of products .On that day store manager Mr.Taranjit
tarehan has given me the freedom like employee empowerment to do the work like how I want to
do but learn the maximum. Eventually that day with my confidence I have started attending
customers and showing them perfect size and style of garments. At the end of day I have done
sell very well.
After day by day of my training I was having the good knowledge of Louis Philippe garments
and accessories and I was also having good communication with the customers who want to buy
it. So I was confident enough to sell any product of store ,i.e. shirts,T-
shirts,trouser,shoes,belts,watches,shots,denim,shocks,hankies,wallet,pocket square, suits &
blessure,pure formal wear ,etc.
But journey has just started, There are also complex questions asked to me by customers about
the material by which particular shirt or anything is made, sometimes I need help by employees
and give satisfied answer to all the customers. Now I have only having the product knowledge
but there are the customers who are asking a lot different question that I need to understand from
housekeeping person, employees, tailor and even my query not solved I need to contact to
Assistant store manager.
SKPIMCS Page 58
Then after week I was going to deliver customer order at there selected home location. I have
learned different work like how to inward products /return or exchange customer product,
weekly counting of products, alteration check and billing.
There are morning meetings in Louis Philippe so they have promoted their employees whose
promotion is good. Actually in the month of June there are scheme offered to the customers due
to End of session so in this month Louis Philippe (Lal Bangla) has achieve the highest target in
Ahmedabad and all over Gujarat so our branch has got the 1st
position in all over Gujarat, so we
have celebrated that month with Cake cutting and having lunch on the same day.
In the last 3 days my store manager has shifted me to Allen solly store at alpha one mall which is
the biggest mall of Ahmedabad. In Allen Solly store it was wonderful experience by getting high
no. of selling by large no. of customer in the mall. I have learned a lot in big Brand showroom
and by communicating with different area and culture of customers.
In nut shell I have made calls, attended events and observe the working style of the Landmark
employees. I have learned a lot from this training which would helpful me to make my career.
o How to greeting or welcome to the customer when they enter in
store.
o How to Communicate with the Customer, Or Deal With the
Customer.

Since the liberalization policy of 1990, the Indian economy, and its consumers are getting whiff of the latest national & international products, the with help of print & electronic media. The social changes with the rapid economic growth due to trained personnel’s, fast modernization, and enhanced availableness of retail space are the positive effects of liberalization. The growth factors of organized retail in India are:- • Increase in per capita income which in turn increase the household consumption • Demographical changes and improvements in the standard of living changes in patterns of consumption and availability of low-cost consumer credit • Improvements in infrastructure and enhanced availability of retail space • Entry to various sources of financing The non-food sector, segments comprising apparel, accessories, fashion, lifestyle felt the significant changes with the emergences of new stores formats like convenience stores, mini marts, mini supermarkets, large supermarkets, and hyper markets. Even food retailing has became an important retail business in national arena, with format retail stores, establishing stores all over India. With the entry of packaged foods like MRT, ITC Ashura, fast foods chains like McDonald’s, KFC, beverage parlour’s like Nescafe, Tata Tea, Café Coffee and Barista, the India food habits has been altered. These stores have earned the reputation of being ‘super saver locations’. India will be a unique business arena in whole of the global economy, for the social and economic parameters would overrule the big bang of the vivid competition, previously mastered by the unorganized retail sector, India opened up late as an economy in 1990 until then the idea of retail formats were spread by the government.
  • 17. SKPIMCS Page 17 1.9 Emerging trends in Indian organized retail sector:- The emerging treads in the Indian organized retail sector would help the economics growth in India. There is a fantastic rise in the Indian organized retail sector in a very short period of the time between 2001 and 2006. Eventually, out of the shadows of the unorganized retail sector. India has a chance of tremendous economic growth, both in India and abroad. The emerging trends in the Indian organized retail sector are also adding up to the development of the Indian organized retail sector. The relaxation by the government on regulatory controls on foreign direct investment has added to the process of the growth of the Indian organized retail sector. The infrastructure of the retail sector will evolve radically in the recent future. The emergencies of shopping malls are increasing at a steady pace in the metros and there are further plans of expansion which would lead to 150 new ones coming up in India by 2008. As the count of super market is going up much faster than rate of growth in retail sector, it is talking the lions share in food trade. The growth of the Indian organized retail sector is anticipated to be heavier than the growth of the gross domestic product. Alteration in people’s lifestyle, growth in income levels, and encouraging convention of demography are proving favorable for the new emerging trends in the Indian organized retail sector. The success of the retail sector would also lie in the degree of penetration into lower income strata to tap the possible customers in the lowest levels of society. The demands of the buyers would also be enhanced by more access to credit facilities. With the arrival of the transnational companies (TNC), the India retail sector will undergo a transformation. At present the foreign direct investments (FDI) Is not encouraged in the Indian organized retail sector but once the TNC’S get in they inevitably try to oust their Indian counterparts. This would be challenging to the retail sector in India. The trends to follow in the future: • The Indian organized retail sector will grow up to 10% of the total retailing by 2010. • No one single format can be assumed as there is a huge difference in cultures regionally. • The most encouraging format now would be the hyper marts. • The hyper mart format would be further encouraged with the entry of the TNCs.

  • 19. SKPIMCS Page 19 1.11Apparel Industry The apparel and textile manufacturing industry has historically been one that has few barriers to entry, little capital investment needed and a high level of low-skilled labor involved—a few sewing machines, a bit of training and some dim electric lights were enough to start up a factory. When China’s wages were extremely low, the nation had a clear advantage in this industry, particularly in light of its tendency to cluster factories near shipping ports and logistics centers so that goods could be sent to customers with minimal delay. Today, however, wages are climbing very rapidly as China’s urban workers have many options in terms of places and industries in which to work. Demand for workers is high, and they are able to expect much higher pay than those in less-developed nations Esquel has manufactured clothing on behalf of brands including Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie & Fitch, Nike, Louis Philippe ,Nordstrom and Lands’ End, as well as private-label items for retailers such as Marks & Spencer. The Esquel companies transform their fabric into premium men’s and women’s wear at plants in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The company also sells its products through its proprietary brand, PYE, which markets high-end cotton apparel in China with a flagship luxury retail store in Beijing. Esquel maintains group sales offices in select locations around the world, including U.S. offices in New York City and regional locations convenient to key accounts. Unlike many textile companies, the firm has an expressed strategy of in-company resource development, seeking to ensure high standards of quality and consistency across all of its product lines. Meanwhile, some manufacturers outside of Asia have become both efficient and quick to react to consumer trends. The most notable company in this category is Spain’s Inditex. The firm is famous for its lean inventory and fast-fashion strategy. It can get a new item of clothing from its 300-person design team, through its manufacturing plants and into its thousands of stores in as little as two weeks. The company operates several manufacturing facilities in Spain. Many of its outside suppliers are located in Spain and elsewhere in Europe. The firm has been opening large numbers of new retail stores under the Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti and Oyosho brands. Apparel and accessory retailers generally enjoyed substantial growth in sales around the world during recent decades. Leading American, Japanese and European brands opened large numbers of new stores in developing markets in Asia and elsewhere. During 2015, America exported $23.7 billion in textiles and apparel (down from $24.4 billion the previous year) and imported $111.9 billion (up from $107.5 billion). These numbers are from the U.S. International Trade Administration. In the European Union (EU), the textile and apparel sector is quite large, particularly in Spain, where global leaders like Inditex have their headquarters, as well as in nations that enjoy lower operating costs, such as the Baltic States and Eastern European States. Nearby, the textile and apparel industry remains a major part of the economy of Turkey. South America, Central America and Africa also play minor roles in world apparel trade. Globally, the World Trade Organization (WTO) reports that apparel and textile exports were $797.4 billion in 2014, up substantially from $766.2 billion the year before. Trade agreements among the U.S. and its trading partners attempt to foster employment in certain parts of the world (such as low-income areas in the Caribbean) and allow U.S. consumers fair access to reasonably priced goods, while providing some sort of relief to U.S.-based businesses. Because trade agreements will never satisfy all parties concerned, they tend to lead
  • 20. SKPIMCS Page 20 to controversy and much critical discussion. On the retail end, consumers of apparel have long enjoyed wide selections and moderate prices in North America, Asia, Europe and elsewhere. During 2015, retail sales at clothing, shoes and accessories stores in the U.S. totalled $223.7 billion (after subtracting jewellery sales of $30.5 billion), according to the Bureau of the Census. In addition, Plunkett Research estimates that 80% ($132.4 billion) of sales at department stores, as well as 60% ($27.9 billion) of sales at sporting goods stores were for apparel and shoes. Assuming that 17% ($59.0 billion) of the goods sold via e-commerce in America consist of apparel, shoes and accessories, this would put the total retail and online clothing, shoes and accessories market in America at $443.0 billion. Apparel retailing has always been a tough, highly competitive business, and many chains rise dramatically and then fail. Retail fashion merchandising is a vast challenge (witness the recent ups and downs of retail giant The Gap). Just-in-time inventory, driven by highly computerized supply chain management systems, is now an immense asset to major retailers. While Asia, particularly China, has enjoyed a dominant position in shoes, apparel and household textiles manufacturing for several years, makers of these items located in developed nations such as the U.S. and Canada have suffered a long period of decline. For example, roughly 98% of the shoes sold in America each year are imports, and the majority of these imports come from Asia. To consumers in Europe and North America, this growing reliance on Asia as a low-cost producer has meant very low retail prices for goods of reasonable quality. However, recent increases in the cost of doing business in China, including rapidly rising labour costs, have put Chinese manufacturers in a much less favourable position. Competition from manufacturing based in very low-cost nations in Africa, as well as Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Malaysia, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Philippines and elsewhere is intense, and a large portion of apparel manufacturing formerly done in China is moving to these areas at a rapid pace. China’s textile exports soared from $7.2 billion in 1990 to $111.7 billion in 2014, according to the World Trade Organization’s International Trade Statistics 2015. India is a distant second in this category, at $18.3 billion in 2014 (up from only $2.1 billion in 1990). Europe as a whole (the EU28) also had strong exports at $74.8 billion. In terms of apparel, China enjoyed a 38.6% market share of global exports in 2014, at $187 billion, up from a mere $8.9 billion in 1990. The rest of Asia, not including China, had a 21.3% market share ($103 billion) in 2014, down from a 25.7% market share in 2013. The EU28 enjoyed a 6.6% market share ($32 billion), when considering only exports made to nations outside the EU and ignoring intra-EU trade. The apparel and textile manufacturing industry has historically been one that has few barriers to entry, little capital investment needed and a high level of low-skilled labor involved—a few sewing machines, a bit of training and some dim electric lights were enough to start up a factory. When China’s wages were extremely low, the nation had a clear advantage in this industry, particularly in light of its tendency to cluster factories near shipping ports and logistics centers so that goods could be sent to customers with minimal delay. Today, however, wages are climbing very rapidly as China’s urban workers have many options in terms of places and industries in which to work.

  • 57. SKPIMCS Page 57 Learning From the very first week at Louis Philippe i.e. from 26th of May I have joined Louis Philippe, I have been given to observe the store, how they have well designed and managed products in separate place and to observe how salesmen welcoming customer in the store , identify need of customer how to show them proper garments and accessories .during this week I noted down all company products available in the store and where everything is placed. In the another week there was an end of season sale in the organization “End of session sale” Starting from 9th june,2017 to around 2 months.I have been given to do the call to the customers for sale regarding information and new offers. I was doing 200 calls daily. it is like a promotional scheme in which I need to make calls to the cutomers to invite them to purchase Louis Philippe garments.That was the first good experience for me to call the premium cutomers and to communicate with them. From 9th June I became more confident and started getting the knowledge of Louis Philippe and communicating with the employees of Louis Philippe. The employees were very supportive and cooperative to me. Moreover in Louis Philippe there is always a morning meeting arrangement to get updated with the sales target and market. Everyone need to present in the meeting and do give information regarding the sales like what they did yesterday and what is planning for today, how much sales target are they going to cover today. On the first day of sale lot’s of numbers of customers are coming in store and they getting information about offer and start selection of products .On that day store manager Mr.Taranjit tarehan has given me the freedom like employee empowerment to do the work like how I want to do but learn the maximum. Eventually that day with my confidence I have started attending customers and showing them perfect size and style of garments. At the end of day I have done sell very well. After day by day of my training I was having the good knowledge of Louis Philippe garments and accessories and I was also having good communication with the customers who want to buy it. So I was confident enough to sell any product of store ,i.e. shirts,T- shirts,trouser,shoes,belts,watches,shots,denim,shocks,hankies,wallet,pocket square, suits & blessure,pure formal wear ,etc. But journey has just started, There are also complex questions asked to me by customers about the material by which particular shirt or anything is made, sometimes I need help by employees and give satisfied answer to all the customers. Now I have only having the product knowledge but there are the customers who are asking a lot different question that I need to understand from housekeeping person, employees, tailor and even my query not solved I need to contact to Assistant store manager.
