12. Rahul started a new retail shop. The plan is to establish a retail shop with less physical space and more on home delivery. In order to increase the business he has been using the social media and local friends circle excessively. The model is to take orders through telephone calls, Whats App or through an app. However, after three months of these efforts, the response from the customers have not been very encouraging. This made him worried and was discussing the matter with his professor from the college. The professor has suggested to pay attention to both visual merchandising and the online marketing simultaneously since he is working on the concept of neighbourhood store. The idea, his professor explained is to make an impact in the minds of the customers in the neighbourhood and then offer them the facility for the home delivery. Rahul took this advise and made changes in the lay out of his store, paid attention in arranging the goods in a better way. In order to popularise his store, he started printing and distributing pamphlets. He personally spoke to the customers visiting his store and offered them the service of home delivery using the online facilities. Over a period of six months he found his business growing manifold.
