Significance and needs of retail industry

Focusing on customer service
The retail industry provides various ranges of goods and products. They also have the link and coordination with large number of suppliers. This type of retail industry helps to resolve from the economic crisis as they keep the materials in the stock. They store the goods and use it only in the time when customer wants it. To provide the goods and services to people in large quantity it is very challenging task. As large scale industries produce large quantity of goods the retail industry can store the excess goods and help them to utilize at the time of crisis. It is very important for the organization or the industry to provide all the information to the retailer it is because retailer deals directly with the people or customer. The retailer should have all the taste and experience about the goods because the retailer deals directly with costumer and the retailer will be able to convince the people properly. If all are done properly then the distribution of goods to all the channels from organization will run properly. For an organization to succeed it mainly depends upon the retailer. Retailer holds the prior information of each and every product. Good customers should be focused properly and the retailer should respect their loyalty toward the product. The retailer should not show heavy or bad attitude towards the customer. The retailer should be able to impress and keep the customer satisfied. The more customers are satisfied retailer keeps on profiting. If the customer is satisfied the positive message goes to the relatives, family and friends. Then the number of customer will increase more. As for every retailer the first priority should be given to satisfy the customer. The negativity of retailer toward the customer may cost him a lot. The loyal customer will help to profit in the business. The nature of the retailer determines either the business goes into success or fails. Each and every customer should be given equal priority. The loss of even a single customer may cost a lot. If retailer provides the poor service then the customer may never shop there and the retailer may pay a bigger price. The retailer should always have positive and good attitude toward each and every customers. The retailer should be able to describe about all the goods in an easy way. The more fluent and simple retailer becomes while speaking and at attitude the more people prefer that retailer. The customer responds to the retailer by observing his attitude. Each and every member working in the retail industry should always have the positive attitude toward customer. The retailer should learn to pay more respect and value to the customer who is loyal to the goods. The retailer should not show any suspecting attitude in front of customer. The more retailer becomes faithful the more retailer progress.

The important aspect of retail industry is a good customer service. The business analysis can be done by taking the feedback of the customer who uses that product. This helps the retailer to know the economic condition of that business. The retailer should always be fair with the price of the product. The retailer should always provide the reasonable price for goods. The customer chooses to prefer the retailer who tries to offer the best price in that area. Any kind of change in price or any mischievous conducted at the price rate may cost the retailer. As a result the retailer may lose heavy number of customers. Fair and reasonable price is the main reason to attract the customer. The more retailers become fair with the price the more number of customer increases. The fair price helps the retailer to earn the trust of the people. People mostly want the material with good quality at reasonable price. Higher the price the retailer gets lower customer. In order to attract existing as well as other customers the main thing that retailer must do is provide the best product in a reasonable price or fair amount.

Structure of retail sector

Organization and structure of retail sector:
Retailing is considered as the sale of goods or commodity in a small quantity to customer. It is simply the process where the customer gets the goods as per their demand and the retailers provide it to them. Retailing simply is an intermediate guide or distributor between an Organization and Customer. The goods firstly produced by the organization or industry are made through different series of process. That product after the finalization then is given to the wholesaler and wholesaler provides it to the retailer. In some cases the organization provides the product directly to the retailer. Retailer has direct approach with the people or customer. As per the demand of people the retailer gets the goods or products from organization and sells it to the customer. In UK the retail industry covers all the business that sells goods and provides good service to the customer. The main organization consist of lots of branches and these branches may be divided into further sub-branches and provide the goods in different part of the county. The final branch may be in the form of store. In UK the retail industry employs over ten percent workforce in total workforce of the country. Annually it adds the contribution of 17.5 billion pound to the entire UK economy.
The size of the organization also determines the pattern of retail industry. Bigger organization produces the goods in larger quantity and the aims or goals of this organization are high. As this organization has to gain lot of profit its organization will be different than other small one.  Bigger organization usually gives their goods to wholesaler and the wholesaler provides it to retailer and finally it reaches to the customer. If the production is large then it reaches to the wholesaler. If the production is low then the goods directly goes to the retailer. The sales of the organizations depend upon the retailer as retailer has the upper hand to know all the queries of the customer and promote the product.

Methods of distributing goods to different branches from the manufacturing organization to the customer:
Each and every organization needs a proper plan to distribute their products in the market. The organization should be able to satisfy their targeted customer. Most of the business industries sell their goods through the retailer. This is also known as the distributing channels. The products prepared by business organization have to go through different stage and processes before it reaches to the customer. All the error has to be solved out before the goods reaches to the customer. Most of the large business organization decides to sell their product through the wholesaler. It is because the number of products or goods manufactured by the company is in large scale and to store it the wholesaler is required. Then the wholesaler provides it to retailer and through retailer it goes to the customer who demanded that product. The other way is when business organization supplies its goods or product to the retailer and retailer provides it to the customer. In this process there is no wholesaler. It is considered as the effective way of selling since it do not involve the wholesaler the retailer can directly communicate with the customer and tell their feedbacks to the organization. The final way is organization selling its product directly to the customer. Here there is the direct communication between the members of the organization and the customer there is no any presence of the wholesaler and the retailer. The retailer plays an important role to promote and publish the business. However in most of the cases it has been found that the wholesaler sell the product to retailer in certain amount and when the same amount reaches to customer then it becomes more costly. Some people therefore try to contact and deal directly with the wholesaler. For some they find dealing with the product straight from the organization more trustworthy then others.
The distribution of the products or goods and services are shown in the figure below:                                           
It may be a challenge to supply the product from the organization. The diagram above represents the methods how the business organization sell their products to customers by using different branch. The manufacturing organization supplying it’s good directly to the customer. This type of method is generally used by the small industry. The industry or small organization produces fewer amounts of goods which can easily be sold into the local market and they earn the profit. Larger industries mostly do not relay on this technique. Larger industries or organization mostly give their products to the wholesaler and the wholesaler to the retailer. However besides the larger scale industries and small scale industries there are medium scale industries or the medium scale organization which distribute their products to the retailer and retailer then provides it to the customer. The final and ultimate goal of every producer or producing organization is customer. The retailer plays an important role to convince the customer. Some customer is loyal to the products which they buy each and every day. It is the work of retailer to keep them satisfied and happy with that product. The negativity of the retailer may lead to the downfall of the product. The organization can use any path or branch to sell their products. It mostly depends upon the size and economic rate of the organization. There is no any compulsion that all the organization has to use the same way to sell their goods or products.  The simplest way of selling the goods is the straight sell through the producer to the customer.

After analyzing the business positive and negative point, management can easily find out the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat for the company (SWOT). The business plan is to work hand in hand with the staff member and employees to develop the concept of health club in a positive way.

Proposed Plan of Action

Each and every business organization should have an action plan so that they can properly formulate in the later life. Mostly the success of the business depends on the plan that is initially established. This will also help the business firm to set specific objectives and see what the main focuses in it are. Each and everyone’s thought will be shared prior to taking any action that would help in executing only the best ideas for the development of the business. Similarly, planning can help the management to set up a backup plan that would be necessary for the business if the expected plan didn’t work out.
The first step of establishing the health club is finding out the proper area or the location where the business can be started. Location of the health club will play very important role in finding out the right customer for them. For making the business plan each and every one important to the business should agree with the plan’s content. The main importance of the business plan should include major three questions:
1.    Where is our current status?
2.    Where do we want to be?
3.    How can the goals be achieved?
The business plan of the business should revolve with in this. If these three topics are monitored then the company can easily look after plan the business well. Similarly, different equipment’s will be set in the location selected above. After all the set up work are completed the business will start its advertising campaign. This will attract the maximum number of customers for the firm. Even though the initial inflow of the members might be less but this does not mean the business is performing bad. Those members will act advertisers if services provided to them is good.
Management should have a plan that would be helpful not only for themselves but also for everyone.

Discussion of Critical Success/Failure Factors

When starting the health club the management should also consider the failure factor and act accordingly. Some of the reasons for the failure are:

Lack of proper business plan

Before starting the business the management should come up with the perfect business plan that would provide the knowledge of short-term, long-term goals. The company should have the plan that is flexible in nature and change according to the time and situation occurring. If the company is stated with improper plan the management will face a huge problem and sometime won’t survive at all.

Lack of capital

Capital is considered as the life blood of any business. If the health club is started without sufficient amount .The club might have to buy new equipment, or employ the right people but due to lack of the fund those opportunities can’t be grabbed.

Not keeping track of finance

For all kind of businesses it is must to have a different section for account who will keep track of all the finance. The management team must be responsible when it comes to spending the amount on the business. The expenses should be done according to the priority and the requirement of the work.

Unsuitable location

The health club should be established in such a place where there are potential customers. Places near the school colleges are the appropriate location for establishing the health club rather than the places where old people live.

Unachievable goals

The goals and objective of the business should be within the achievable range. Even if the club is earning profits more than the expected the management should not expand its target.

Not considering about the competition

For any business the competitions that exists in the market will always affects negatively. Taking that competition too lightly will provide great opportunity for the competitors. It won’t take time to lose our customers if a better health club is established near. So the customers should be provided with best services.

Lack of proper supervision

A good supervision form the manager will make effective work in the organization. The functioning of the business will be effective and proper. In addition to that a proper supervision will directly as well as indirectly affect the membership base of the club. Health club business required proper supervision all the time so all the members are motivated enough to come back again and again to the gym.

Insufficient marketing and promotions

Only having a great club all the facilities will not make the business successful. We need to let the people know about the facilities we have and target marketing should be done. Once the initial marketing is done and members are acquired, if we are able to stay consistent with the services those members will provide the aid as a promotion.
