Abstract

Visual merchandising is recognized as a marketing communication tool used by retailers to communicate the store or company's fashion value and quality image to prospective consumers. It involves the presentation of products in a visually appealing way to attract and engage shoppers. The main aim of visual merchandising includes educating consumers, enhancing the store's image, and encouraging multiple sales. This is achieved by displaying apparel and accessories together, which can encourage cross-selling and upselling. A distinctive aspect of this study will be its focus on the unique supermarkets of  Pune City. Pune, with its diverse demographic and rapidly evolving retail environment, presents a fertile ground for examining how visual merchandising influences consumer behavior in supermarkets. The city's supermarkets range from local favorites to national chains, each offering a different experience in terms of product variety, pricing, and store design. Understanding these nuances will provide a comprehensive picture of how visual merchandising can be optimized to meet the needs and preferences of Pune's shopper. By incorporating the specific background and characteristics of Pune City Supermarkets into the study, contribute valuable localized insights to the broader discourse on visual merchandising and consumer behavior in the retail sector. The study focuses on Visit Frequency and Time Spent in supermarkets and how much time they spend during each visit. Also, focus on the reasons for the choice of supermarket and Consumer Behaviour in Supermarkets. This may involve factors such as location, pricing, product range, and, the general appearance of the store and available facilities. Emphasis on the general opinions on Supermarket Appearance and buying behavior with reference to Visual Merchandise. This may involve observing whether the placement of products and visual displays affects purchasing decisions. It's essential to conduct this kind of research to understand consumer preferences and behaviours better. Retailers can use this information to tailor their visual merchandising strategies and store layouts to attract and retain customers. Additionally, feedback on the overall shopping experience and reasons for choosing a particular supermarket can inform marketing and business strategies.

Abstract

This research examines IKEA's sustainability movement and its impact on customer behavior. As a global leader in furniture retail, IKEA has embarked on a transformative journey to minimize its environmental footprint and promote responsible consumption practices. By integrating renewable energy, sustainable sourcing, and eco-friendly product lines, IKEA has positioned itself as a pioneer in corporate sustainability. The growing environmental concerns and increasing demand for sustainable business practices have compelled corporations to reassess their strategies. However, the extent to which corporate sustainability efforts influence consumer behavior remains a critical question. This research seeks to address this gap by evaluating the impact of IKEA’s sustainability strategies on customer behavior, particularly in terms of eco-conscious decision-making and brand loyalty. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative analysis of IKEA’s sustainability reports and initiatives with quantitative customer surveys. The theoretical foundation is rooted in the Triple Bottom Line framework, emphasizing the balance between economic, social, and environmental sustainability. IKEA’s commitment to 100% renewable energy, ethical material sourcing, and the introduction of recycled and energy-efficient products exemplifies its alignment with this framework. The findings reveal that IKEA’s sustainability initiatives empower customers to make environmentally conscious decisions and enhance brand loyalty through educational campaigns and eco-conscious product offerings. This research underscores the vital role of sustainability in shaping modern consumer behavior and driving corporate success, providing insights for corporations seeking to integrate sustainability into their business models while fostering long-term customer relationships.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the enzymatic activity of Adenosine Deaminase in type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: This study was conducted on 60 clinically diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus patients, with 60 healthy subjects as the control group. Subjects were enrolled in the study only after their written consent was obtained. The inclusion of diabetes mellitus cases (DM) was conducted as per the WHO guidelines. Estimation of enzymatic activity of serum ADA was performed by Kinetic method using a commercial kit.Result: The observed serum ADA activity in DM patients was 48.34 ± 21.05 U/L, which was significantly higher in comparison to healthy controls (25.02 ± 5.78 U/L). The serum activity raised in about 80% of patients and they had higher values above the reference activity of 30 U/L. The increased activity of ADA among the diabetic subjects indicates inflammatory changes in these individuals.Conclusion: It is possible that in the coming years, a new therapeutic strategy based on anti-inflammatory properties with beneficial effects on diabetic complications can be translated into real clinical treatments.
