2. Summary
The CRM initiative of Shoppers Stop entirely revolves around the concept that cost of
acquiring new customer is higher than that of retaining existing one.
Shopper’s Stop very brilliantly imbibed this philosophy into its corporate strategy and the total
success of this initiative can be attributed to religious implementation at every step and a whole
hearted effort to deliver “feel great” experience at every point of customer interface.Shopper’s
Stop (SS) has converted the concept of retail into an experience, an indulgence.

and accurate customer database.

consumption by different customers using which they were able to bring innovative
