Some of the famous strategies D-mart follows:-
- 6-15% lower than MRP- Most of the products that are in the D-Mart retail stores are usually less than 6-15% of the actual MRP(Maximum Retail Price). This percentage varies from product to product. D-mart follows the simple principle of less profit but in large volume. Meanwhile, in other stores, they focus more on profit and less on volume. Gradually this increases the customer in D-Mart retail stores because of less price. Eventually, this led to increasing in customer loyalty. The main strategy is to target the Indian Middle-class family.
