ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude to Prof. Vinod Kumar, a continual
source of inspiration. He pushed us to think imaginatively, urging us to do this fieldwork
without hesitation. His vast knowledge, extensive experience, and professional competence
enabled us to successfully accomplish this project. This endeavour would not have been
possible without his help and supervision. We could not have asked for a finer mentor in our
studies. This initiative would not have been a success without every individual’s contribution.
We were always there to cheer each other on, and that is what kept us together until the end.
We would like to thank the New Delhi Institute of Management for allowing us to work on
the project B2B Sales. Last but not least, we would like to express our gratitude to our
families, siblings, and friends for their invaluable assistance, and we are deeply grateful to
everyone who has contributed to the successful completion of this project.

replenished, meaning there is the potential for repeat business.

opportunities for targeted sales campaigns and promotions.
4. Customizable Products: Clothing can be customized to meet the needs of specific
customers, creating opportunities for upselling and cross-selling.

from casual wear to high-end fashion, providing ample opportunities to cater to
different customer needs.

ENTERPRISES

• Speed: In a fast-paced industry like fashion, speed is a valuable asset. Manufacturers
quickly produce and deliver garments to their customers which provides them a
significant advantage.
• Material Costs: The cost of raw materials used in the manufacturing process, such as
fabric, thread, and buttons, is a significant factor in determining the final price of the
garment.
• Labour Costs: The cost of labour, including wages and benefits for workers, is
another significant factor in determining the price of a garment.
• Overhead Costs: Overhead costs, such as rent, utilities, and insurance, also play a
role in determining the final price of a garment.
• Markup: Manufacturers may add a markup to the cost of the garment to cover their
own expenses, such as marketing and administrative costs, and to generate a profit.
• Seasonal Demand: The seasonality of the garment also affects the pricing strategy.
For example, winter clothing is priced higher than summer clothing due to higher
demand during colder months.
2) What kind of discounts or promotions do you offer to encourage sales and how do
you decide when to run them?
Ans 2) The company uses a variety of discounts and promotions to encourage sales,
including:
• Seasonal Sales: Offering discounts and promotions during off-seasons help them
move excess inventory and make room for new products.
• Clearance Sales: Clearance sales help them sell off outdated or overstocked items
and generate revenue.
7
• Limited-Time Offers: Limited-time offers, such as flash sales or weekend deals,
create a sense of urgency and encourage customers to make a purchase.
• Bundle Deals: Offering bundled products at discounted prices incentivizes customers
to purchase more items, which increases revenue.
• First-Time Customer Discounts: Offers discounts to first-time customers which help
attract new business and encourage repeat purchases.
Manufacturers typically decide when to run these promotions based on factors such as
seasonality, inventory levels, and overall sales performance. For example, a manufacturer
may run a clearance sale at the end of a season to move excess inventory, or offer a limited-
time discount on a new product to generate buzz and encourage early adoption.
• Sales: Tracking sales data help them to determine the impact of their marketing and
advertising efforts on revenue.
• Web Analytics: Analyzing website traffic and engagement metrics provide insights
into the effectiveness of online advertising and other digital marketing efforts.
8
• Social Media Metrics: Monitoring social media engagement, such as likes, comments,
and shares provides insights into the effectiveness of social media advertising and
influencer marketing.
• Brand Awareness: Conducting surveys or focus groups to measure brand awareness
and recognition help manufacturers determine the impact of their public relations
and advertising efforts.
• Wholesale: The company sells its products wholesale to retailers, who then sell the
products to end consumers. This involves selling products to a variety of retail
outlets.
• Direct-to-Consumer (DTC): Sometimes they sell their products directly to consumers
through their own e-commerce website or physical stores. This helps them maintain
more control over the customer experience and build stronger relationships with
their customers.
• Third-Party E-commerce Platforms: They also sell their products through third-party
e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart.
Overall, they use a mix of distribution channels to reach their target customers and generate
sales and adjust their distribution strategies over time based on market trends and business
performance.

LEARNINGS AND CONCLUSION
After completing a project on B2B sales in the garment industry, there are several
learnings and conclusions that can be drawn:
• Understanding customer needs: One of the most important learnings from the
project is the need to understand the needs of B2B customers in the garment
industry. By conducting market research and identifying key customer segments,
companies can tailor their products and services to meet the specific needs of their
target customers.
• Importance of relationship-building: B2B sales in the garment industry are often
driven by long-term relationships between suppliers and customers. Therefore, it is
crucial for companies to focus on relationship-building and maintain regular
communication with their customers to foster trust and loyalty.
• Product differentiation: In a highly competitive market, product differentiation can
be a key factor in driving B2B sales. By offering unique features or designs that set
their products apart from competitors, companies can attract and retain customers.
• Digital transformation: The garment industry is becoming increasingly digital, and
companies that embrace technology and digital platforms can gain a competitive
advantage in B2B sales. This includes using e-commerce platforms, social media, and
data analytics to improve customer engagement and decision-making.
• Supply chain optimization: Effective supply chain management is essential for B2B
sales in the garment industry. By optimizing their supply chains and improving
efficiency, companies can reduce costs and improve delivery times, which can be a
key factor in winning and retaining customers.
