Executive Summary
Fabindia has a wide variety of product lines ranging from garments to home furnishings. The brand
has a good footfall in comparison to its competitors like Khadi Gramudyog, Good earth, Kilol, Anokhi
and Central Cottage Industries Emporium. However, it is observed in the following study that out of
all the product lines of Fabindia, home furnishings, organic food and personal care products are less
preferred than product lines like garments, accessories and gift sets.
Promotion refers to the activity which helps in communicating the product, brand or any service
to the consumers. After the primary and secondary research, it was found that Fabindia lacks in
promoting the home furnishings, organic food and personal care products less than its other major
product lines.
The research has been done accordingly and it is recommended that Fabindia should expand itself
by opening separate or more stores for home furnishings, organic food and personal care products
so that the consumers get to know more about the product lines which will further increase their
sales.

1958, as a consultant for the
Ford Foundation to advise the
Government of India to run Central Cottage Industries
Corporation. He was then given a two-year grant to instruct
Indian villagers in making goods for export. He firmly
believed in the emerging Indian textile industry and was
determined to showcase Indian handloom textiles with a way to provide
employment to traditional artisans.

home furnishing retail company Habitat, soon

States, supplying their products to mom-and-pop
stores.
2.1.2 History
Fabindia was founded in 1960 by John Bissell to market the
diverse craft traditions of India. It started out as a company
exporting home furnishings. The first Fabindia retail store
was opened in Greater Kailash, New Delhi fifteen years later
that is in 1975.
By the early eighties, Fabindia was already known for garments made from
hand woven and hand printed fabrics. The non-textile range was added in
2000, while organic foods, which formed a natural extension of Fabindias
commitment to traditional techniques and skills was added in 2004, with
personal care products following in 2006. The handcrafted jewellery was
introduced in 2008.

love about India to the customers around the world.

marketing the vast and diverse craft traditions of India and thereby help fulfil the
need to provide and sustain employment. It blends indigenous craft techniques
with contemporary designs to bring aesthetic and affordable products to todays
consumers.
Fabindias endeavour is to provide customers with hand crafted products which
help support and encourage good craftsmanship. The products are sourced from
all over India.
Fabindia works closely with artisans by providing various inputs including design,
quality control, access to raw materials and production coordination. The vision
continues to be the maximization of the handmade element in the products,
whether they are handwoven textiles, hand block printing, hand embroidery or
handcrafting home products.

This
means
that the
farmer is using purely organic techniques, and has registered and is complying
with set standards. Farmland must be managed organically for about 3 years
before it can be fully certified.
National and International Standards India's organic certification standards are set by the National Programme for
Organic Production (NPOP), which are based on standards set by the
International Federation of Organic Agriculture (IFOAM).
In India, there are a handful of certifying agencies accredited by NPOP. Farmers
and producers must register with one of these agencies, who will in turn verify
whether NPOP standards have been met.
For certified Organic products, look for a
certified agency's logo, for example SGS, and
NPOP's India Organic logo.

gives value for money. To this end it has expanded its range of garments
starting from Rs. 200 to R+s. 2000 in order to provide something for its
customers.
2.2.4 Promotion
1. Fabindia has traditionally relied on word of mouth advertising. It believes that
product speaks for itself and this strategy works very well.
2.
The only problem with the above stated strategy is that the
customers dont get to know the location of the nearby stores. Therefore, to
overcome this problem, various tools such as mobile marketing and newspaper
advertisements are used to promote the brand well.

3. Literature Review:
3.1 Home Furnishing
Bed linens, curtains and bath linen like terry
towel cover the largest share of the home textile
in the domestic market. Indian home textile
products have come of age. The product range
comprises of furnishing fabrics and made-ups of
Jacquard and Dobby weaves of various types of
fiber like cotton, polyester, rayon blends,
chenille, flax, silk, jute, linen and other blends.
High quality of fabrics used has added a new
dimension. It offers further value addition in
terms of hand painted fabrics and embroidered
fabrics.
The products are well known for diversity, weave, color and texture. Following are the main
products:
3.2 Organic food Organic food is safer, healthier, and usually chemical-free
as there is no usage of artificial substances such as
pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms
(GMOs).
They are grown in healthier soil and taste better than their
conventional counterparts. Hence, the popularity of such
produce is picking up volumes in recent years. There is no
better choice for one's consumption than organic produce.

Personal care products are made up of only natural ingredients and are manufactured with
appropriate processes to maintain ingredient purity
(Npainfo). They are safe and avoid involvement of any
ingredient which is suspected to be harmful for
humans. These products are always made of
biodegradable
ingredients
and
the
most
environmentally sensitive packaging. They use no
animal testing in their development.
Types of personal care products:
Hair Care
Bath and Body
Baby and Kids

3.4 Consumer An individual who buys products or services for personal use and not for manufacture or
resale is known as a consumer. He can make the decision whether or not to purchase an item
at the store, and someone who can be influenced by marketing and advertisements. Any
time someone goes to a store and purchases a toy, shirt, beverage, or anything else, they are
making that decision as a consumer.
3.5 Consumer Behavior The study of consumer behavior is a study of how individuals make decisions to spend their
available resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items. It includes the study
of what they buy, why they buy, when they buy it, how often they buy it and how often they
use it. (Kanuk and Schiffman, 2011)
Buying decision of consumers also depends on the following factors:-
Selective exposure
Selective attention
Consumer interpretation
Selective retention
3.6 Consumer Behavior in Context of the Products Consumer behavior is not constant. It changes with a change in the product he/she
is going to buy. The following explain the behavior of a consumer in terms of home
furnishings, organic food and body care products:
(a) Factors Affecting the Purchase of Home Furnishings
15
Price - Furniture industry has a wide range of customers from low income to
high income (Al-Azzam, 2014). Every consumer tends to buy furniture which
suits his economic conditions. Therefore, while buying an expensive yet
necessary commodity like furniture, price is one of the main factors which affect
the purchasing decision of a consumer.
Color Color is a source of relaxation. Colourful furniture makes a person
calm and satisfied when he returns his home or goes to his office. It makes
the furniture look more interesting and attractive. Finally color analysis
constitutes one of the areas of marketing about consumers choice in
dissimilar cultures and its perception of colors (Al-Azzam, 2014).
Quality Furniture represents the personality of the owner and therefore, the
quality of the furniture defines its superiority, excellence and refinement. The
right quality of the furniture is judged through the type of wood used, types
of construction joints, external surface construction and overall construction
details.
16
Availability:
Availability also, is one of the chief factors which encourage the purchase of organic
food (Paul and Rana, 2012). With the growing reasons to buy organic food, brands have
started working upon their marketing strategies and hence, the conventional
supermarkets and large retail outlets have increased the availability of organic food
which further influences the consumers to buy more organic food.
Others:
The other factors which affect the purchase of organic food are environment friendly
packaging and environment friendly technology.
(c) Factors Affecting the Purchase of Personal Care Products Brand The consumers of personal care products specifically concentrate on
the brand of the product. It is believed that a famous brand delivers the best
17
type of personal care products. Since, the products are meant for taking care
of the body therefore, consumers tend to buy them from a known brand.
Quality The personal care products take care of an individuals body and
their skin type. Therefore, it is the tendency of the consumers to check the
quality of the products before buying them.
Price A rational customer always focuses on the price of the products
he/she is going to buy. Thus, before buying a product of a necessary
category like personal care, the consumers focus on the price.
Ingredients Consumers prefer to think about the ingredients of the
personal care products so that they dont turn out to be harmful for their
skins in the near future.
Availability The personal care products can be found at any supermarket or
general store or a small retail shop since they are a necessity. Therefore,
availability also affects the purchase of personal care products.

Promotion refers to the activity which helps in communicating the product, brand or any
service to the consumers.
