Big bazaar shouldkeep offers in regular intervals so that there should
not be a long term gap, because offer is the most influencing factor
which is responsible for customer purchase decision.
Big bazaar should start emphasizing more on internet shopping
along with the formal retail shopping because a large population of the
country likes to shop online in order to save time.
Along with the different discounts and offers it should pay attention
towards the students and provide some offers for them also because
half of the Indian population is of youths and students.
It should work on its billing counters and customer service in order
to solve the problem of long queues and waiting customers.
