Philips Electronics India to revitalise Retail Strategy

cyrus — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 07:41:43 +0000

Philips Electronics India has decided to revitalise its retail strategy to maintain robust growth rate amidst the economic slowdown. The Dutch company is planning to set up exclusive ‘experience zones’ in multi-brand electronic stores and modern retail chains across four key segments — health, home cinema, water solution and personal grooming.

This will be in addition to a revamp of its exclusive brand stores ‘Arena’ which will henceforth focus on building the Philips’ brand in the health and well-being segment in India.

“There will be a huge thrust on our retail strategy to grow market share and sales this year. Such a strategy will help to increase sales conversions at the retail level,” Philips Electronics India vice president and head (consumer lifestyle) Mahesh Krishnan told ET.

For starters, Philips plans to set up 400 experience zones across the country by December 2009. It has already set up 35 such zones in the National Capital Region (NCR) in the pilot phase. These experience zones has been designed by the Philips India design team and may be replicated by the company in other emerging markets.

“These zones are currently built around health with our range of small appliances like juicers and mixers and home cinema with LCD TV and home theatre systems. Eventually, we are planning to showcase water purifiers and personal grooming products through these zones,” said Mr Krishnan.

In sync, Philips has drawn up a mega in-store retail initiative where over 250 Philips employees will visit more than 1,800 stores across 18 cities in India to connect with consumers and promote Philips products.

“This is part of a global activity in which Philips has decided to undertake the initiative in some 10,000 stores across markets like China, India, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, UK, US and Sweden,” said Mr Krishnan.

Philips is also tying up with both national and regional retail chains like Reliance Digital, Croma, eZone, Viveks and Vijay Sales to set up the experience zones. “The 25 Arena brand stores in India will henceforth help us to build new product categories like digital photoframes,” Mr Krishnan said.

Is it right time to buy that house in Delhi that you’ve always wanted but couldn’t afford? From property developers to experts, the general opinion seems to be – the time is right now. Over the last six months or even one year, property sales have fallen in the National Capital Region by 50 per cent. And that has forced builders to drop their prices.
