FINDING AND ANALYSIS
Shopping for myself: 42.5% (largest portion, blue) – A significant portion of
visitors are primarily focused on shopping for themselves. This suggests that
the majority of customers are directly purchasing products for their personal
use.
Shopping for family/friends: 30% (second-largest portion, red) – A notable
number of visitors are purchasing items for others, indicating that gifting or
purchasing on behalf of someone else is also a key purpose for visiting
Croma.
Buying a gift: 12.5% (orange) – A smaller portion of visitors are specifically
shopping with the intention of buying a gift. This could indicate potential for
Croma to expand their gift-oriented product offerings or marketing strategies
during peak seasons (e.g., holidays).
Window shopping: 15% (green) – This group of visitors is not necessarily
purchasing anything but is instead browsing products. This may represent
potential future sales if these window shoppers are convinced to buy.
Phones and Laptops: 52.5% It is the largest with red, so over half of them are
looking to buy mainly phones and laptops. This is a very healthy level of demand
in personal technology, which forms the core of what Croma sells.

can be phone cases, chargers, cables and other tech accessories which depict a
in-demand market for smaller, supplementary products.

means household and kitchen appliances are somewhat less in demand than
personal tech but still leave a mark in the market.

headphones, speakers etc. This might indicate that either the demand for this
end is lesser or that customers who require audio products have already
purchased them or are purchasing elsewhere.

- 10% of respondents rated the assistance as "Bad," signaling that some staff
service experiences are quite poor and require attention.

"Good," a fair number of respondents still gave a high proportion of ratings as
"Average" (32.5%), with 10% of respondents giving "Bad" ratings, this is an area

respondents (22.5%)* giving this rating.

Conclusion:- A majority viewed the store ambiance under a positive light as
reflected in their ratings: 17.5 percent rated it as high as 7 while another 17.5
percent gave it a 9, but the fact that the most common rating is 5 signifies that
many customers find the ambiance merely average or just satisfactory.- The
presence of a few very low ratings (negative values and low scores like 1 and 3)
suggests that the ambiance may not appeal to a small segment of the
audience.Therefore, some aspects of the atmosphere of the store may have
improved and will push the neutral category (5) further.

organize the store environment, or additional staff assistance.
