Industry structure and developments
India is the second-largest producer of footwear and third-largest footwear consumer globally. The footwear market in India was seeing an upsurge since past many years and was poised to continue its momentum in coming years on the back of growing demand for trendy, fancy and comfortable footwear among the youth of the Country.
Rapid urbanization, higher disposable income and growing influence of social media led to change in fashion trends. With increasing trend for active and exercise regimes, demand for athletic shoes grew rapidly as well.
Global economy has plunged into a severe contraction and is expected to shrink by over 5 percent this year due to the massive shock of the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdown measures to contain it. Except stores selling essential commodities, all other stores were shut down across the Country for nearly two months. Even today, not all retail stores have resumed operations. Even with the ease of lockdown norms, the consumer sentiment would take some time to revive. Though there is a shift of focus to e-commerce, it currently accounts for less than 10% of the total footwear sales in the Country.
Under the “New Normal” as India Inc. shifts to “work from home” and with socialising becoming a rare occasion, shoppers are purchasing casual and comfortable open footwear.
The silver lining, however, is the increasing awareness about health, thereby driving the demand for sports footwear. The retail footwear business is expected to improve gradually as the festive season is still ahead of us.
Opportunities and Threats
Recent changes in the consumer spending behaviour along with fall in disposable income has posed serious challenges for sustained future growth. To maintain such growth, your Company is taking necessary steps such as expanding its e-commerce footprint allowing deliveries in over 1,300 cities, rolling out its omni-channel home delivery across 900+ stores and giving customers the option to shop from homes via WhatsApp chat with our neighbourhood stores. Your Company is also working on various cost-optimisation measures including rental renegotiation, closure of unviable stores and digitalisation drive across the organization, etc., to eliminate redundancies. Your Company continues to focus on stylish, comfortable and durable quality products so as to be ahead of competition.
“Bata Ladies” and “Comfit” categories maintained good momentum. With changing lifestyle and focus on personal health, your Company is optimistic about its brand “Power” which has seen good demand uptick in the last year. Another opportunity in the current scenario is the preference of consumers towards more “comfortable” rather high fashion footwear. Your Company is uniquely placed to take advantage of this trend with its aspirational brand image especially in the Comfortable and Trusted footwear arena, wide range of recognized brands, upgraded online experience and unparalleled retail footprint.
Key Focus Areas
Marketing and Campaigns
Batas agile marketing strategy continued to evolve from traditional channels to digital and moment marketing with its continued focus on making the Brand more aspirational, making our retail stores inviting, leveraging deeper consumer insights and evolving the brand based on consumers post-purchase experience. We identified that working women, kids and youth are fast growing segments, while the mens segment continues to be the largest one. We launched industry-first 9-to-9 campaign promising working women non-stop comfort from morning till evening and promoting Bata Comfit, Naturalizer and Hush Puppies brands. For men looking to expand their collection for different occasions, we created a campaign promoting Unlimited casual collection promising 500+ styles ranging from sneakers, loafers, boots & athleisure, across Hush Puppies, North Star and Bata Red Label brands.
Our digital marketing content has always tried to touch a chord with the customers with focus on relevant content along their digital journey. For the youth segment, we promoted new Power fitness range, North Star chunky sole sneakers & Bata Red Label colorful high-heels, in social media channels, via influencers and at fashion events like Lakme Fashion Week, where the designers talked about their love for the Bata Brand and how surprised they were to see Batas new avatar. Youth could discover the products in social channels and had the Buy Now option there itself. The Womens day digital film was Batas signature way of acknowledging all women who have contributed to making us what we are today, by showcasing our 10 exclusive women-run stores across India.
With our continued focus on attracting the younger audience, last years Festive campaign featured Kriti Sanons younger sister Nupur Sanon and highlighted our New Arrivals Every Friday proposition and showcased camera-ready diverse collections. While, we upped our ante with Surprisingly Bata campaigns in areas of fashion, casual and comfort, we also launched our new Back to school collection campaign with Anti-Bacterial protection that kills 99.99% of odour-causing bacteria and received endorsement from 8 out of 10 Doctors for this range which helped reinforce trust enjoyed amongst the moms.
With all these multiple campaigns throughout the year and with moment marketing, we saw improvement in Brand affinity scores, footfalls and sales. Batas overall shoppers age dropped by 3 years over the last 2 years and we are firmly placed to reap the benefits of youth demographic dividend that India enjoys.
Innovation
We understand the importance of innovation in designing and creating our Collections. The successful implementation of new ideas and technologies is crucial to our business and gives Bata a competitive advantage over other brands in the marketplace.
Consumers preference has moved from normal everyday products to the ones which have more to offer and fulfill their needs. All our new ideas & technologies are taken through an Innovation Funnel, which determines their lifecycle from Idea stage to Roll out stage. Less than 50% make it to the marketplace, but those which do, have proven technologies, strong designs, appealing names and exciting claims. Their success rate are also determined by consumers focus groups done prior to launch.
The big stories which drove these results can be streamlined in 4 major areas which define Bata and its portfolio brands as the most trusted in India: Comfort, Performance, Protection & Hygiene, Sustainability.
The technologies which best performed were Memory Comfort, Memory Foam and Ortholite in the comfort area; Life Natural/ Bata Shield antimicrobial on schools shoes collection; various Power technologies and GripLight in the performance area; APX rubber made of recycled tires as a big sustainable story.
Our Innovation agenda continues relentlessly as our Funnel delivers solid projects which will help drive the business growth. In coming years, 2020 and 2021, your Company will launch more sustainable stories (Bloom & Power Eco), Comfort blockbusters (Comfort Foam, Comfi Flex & Air vent technology) and Performance (Hydro Lite, Etpu & Floatz).
Customer Care Initiatives
Customer Service and Experience has been a big focus area for your Company. There is a dedicated customer service team to ensure that customers dont face any inconvenience and their concerns are addressed in a time-bound and effective way.
Over the year under review, your Company focused on improving its Customer Experience area with key initiatives like - automation of claim & exchange via a new point of sale utility to fast track the process, addition of a guided IVR with an option to request call back during high traffic hours and ensuring call abandonment was always less than 3%. Bata India continued to collect & measure consumer feedback actively about their shopping experience as well as claim/exchange experience. We also continued to drive detractor close-looping actively by calling back detractors and resolving their concerns. As a result, our Net Promoter Score improved by 12 percentage points annually.
Bata Club
Our flagship loyalty program “Bata Club” members has increased over the years & currently has over 13 Million active members (last 1 year active). We relaunched Bata Club during 2019, with the objective of increasing its awareness, rewarding our loyal shoppers, making it more consumer-centric and bringing in digital interventions. These measures included - launch of an exciting welcome kit to encourage first-time shoppers to come back, use of advanced analytics to drive more relevant and personalized campaigns, introducing technology driven in-store tools like customer single view at point of sale (POS) to drive conversion, upsell & cross-sell, launch of new communication channels like WhatsApp for Business and a digital microsite to see reward benefits. All these has translated to increased engagement with Bata Club members: average monthly repeat rate has gone up by 5% percentage points and campaigns walk-ins rate has also doubled vs last year.
Segment wise or product wise performance
Your Company operates in Footwear & Accessories Segment only and performances of major business categories and key brands of your Company during the financial year ended March 31, 2020 are highlighted below:
Retail Business
Your Company has followed a strategy of “maximizing presence” which is built on Batas core value strategy of “Win everywhere”. Top end of the retail & consumer space is being served through opening Shop in Shops of Bata in large format Departmental stores having National presence. We are aiming to achieve higher brand equity through our presence in such counters. The core set of market is covered with the Company operated retail stores on highstreets & in Malls of Metro cities & tier 1-2 towns. While keeping the focus on growing existing stores, your Company also adopted a multi-prong strategy to continue presence in new malls, open stores in un-represented retail trade areas on high-street, enhance presence in legacy location & grow in the same market through bigger & better stores and also upgrade store experience through partial / complete renovations. Your Company kept a higher focus on opening franchisee stores in tier 3-4 towns and opened 52 stores thereby adding more than 40 new towns. Your Company is working towards a vision of 500 Stores through franchise network in the Country by increasing reach in towns with population of less than 2 lac. These spacious new stores are built in new Global Red Design which are true to our “Surprisingly Bata” campaign & with its clean design thinking & focus on Red & White color, gives a delightful shopping experience to our consumers. We also upgraded over 300 current stores to the proven Red Design.
Your Company started the concept of Bata Experience Centers under the name “Happy Feet Center” which gives consumers unique experiences and services like getting their feet scanned for a customized 3D insole, medicated pedicure and a shoe laundry which brings back shoes to life. These centers would be opened in select stores in key cities and would mark our market leadership which is not limited to selling footwear.
During the financial year ended March 31, 2020, your Company opened 66 new retail stores in addition to 19 relocations, 52 Franchisee stores and renovated 49 stores across India. Your Company closed 37 stores during the year under review. Your Company has plans to aggressively continue Revival of our Old Concept Stores into Red Concept to give our customers an aspirational experience.
Digital Multi-Channel Business
E-commerce business maintained steady growth during the year under review. We sold more than 1.8 Million pairs of footwear through online channels and achieved a turnover of Rs. 1250 Million. Launch of Endless Aisle, that connected retail store inventory to online website with technical integration, has multiplied the business potential by manifold. Bata India now ships more than 95% of orders received from Bata.in through its stores. Tools like WMS & Marketplace integration were put in place to scale up our market place operations. Advancing to Auto Replenishment lets the online stocks replenished for e-commerce the way retail stores are replenished with inventory on a regular basis.
In addition, Launch of Bata Home Delivery Services in over 900 stores allows store staff to place orders on customers behalf if the article of their choice is not available in the store. This has helped retaining 100K+ customers in 2019, who otherwise would have walked out of our stores due to non-availability of size and color.
In 2019, Bata.in focused on Women centric campaigns to bring a paradigm shift in our women segment sale and it resulted in minimizing the gender ratio gap to 9%. In addition, Amazon observed a slight shift in audience group to a younger section as 42% of Bata customers shopped under the age band of 15-24 years vs last year, when it was 25-34 years.
B2B business has been steady on Amazon and Flipkart. Focus has been on improving secondary sales on these platforms which in turn improves primary business. Rigorous marketing campaigns including Cost per Click (CPC) and Cost per Million Impressions (CPM) were launched while diligently participating in brand specific and category specific events for increased Brand visibility.
Tech integrations like Return and Exchange Functionality improved customer experience on Bata.in, thus reducing customer complaints. Thus, your Company has also focused on Technology upgradation to make internal processes robust and strengthen the serviceability.
Hush Puppies
In Hush Puppies marketing there was a shift in communication from lifestyle to technology with introduction of new product technologies like Bounce Max, Bounce and Bounce Plus. Throughout the year, there has been consistent communication around bounce technology with focus on reactivating brand social media assets. Campaigns were promoted through various touch points covering Retail, in-mall branding, activations, print, digital and PR.
Hush Puppies has been the go-to brand for formal wear but with this new bounce technology collection, it introduced a large variety in causal styles and a vibrant range of colors. The collection is a perfect addition to your wardrobe with a variety of styles that can be paired up for modern work attires to on-the-go ensembles to trendy weekend looks.
The new range for men and women comes with smart sneakers, pumps and ballerinas in smooth-grain leather, knitted fabrics and soft colorful suede for men and women. The collection boasts of athletic-inspired comfort combined with elevated tailored styling that allows for more wearing occasions than an average shoe choice.
Comfort has been Hush Puppies DNA and with Bounce Plus, the brand is taking the comfort quotient up a notch. Where consumers are looking for footwear to have the performance features of today, Bounce Plus collection brings casual styles infused with technology to keep up with consumers hustling lifestyle.
Naturalizer
American shoe brand Naturalizer has been a pioneer in designing shoes specifically suited to the contours of womens feet since 1927. After successfully launching its exclusive stores in multiple international cities like New York, Chicago, Toronto & Dubai, Naturalizer has launched its first flagship store in India at DLF Promenade mall, New Delhi followed by second store at DLF Avenue, Saket. Designed in New York and adorned by working women, the shoe with the beautiful fit has been retailing exclusively in India at 50 Bata stores across 4 cities for almost a decade.
