Keywords: Books, Customer Buying Behaviour, Retailing, Ambience, Layout, arrangements INTRODUCTION The retail industry is changing rapidly with changing consumer behavior. The existence of any retailer is primarily dependent upon the customer. Consumers and their behavior towards retailers is a key factor for the success of business. Marketers are being exposed to new generation of customers. These new generation customers can be classified on the basis of individual difference in expectations, preferences for wider choice, extent of brand loyalty and willingness to try competing brands so as to perceive higher value satisfaction. Traditionally in India, shopping for books has always been thought of as a book-lover s hobby. The changing nature of the bookstore chains like the Mumbai-based Crossword, the Chennai-based Landmark and Higginbotham s and Oxford Bookstore of Kolkata, have been able to change all that. Positioned as a lifestyle bookstore, these are large, spacious, well laid out stores, with bright cheerful interiors that encourage people to stay and browse. A welcoming cafe, reading tables and chairs and toilets within the store, some of the innovations pioneered by Crossword Bookstore, and soon replicated by several others. These have helped in ensuring that customers are able to browse in comfort for several hours. India has emerged as the fifth most favorable destination for international retailers, outpacing UAE, Russia, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, according to A T Kearney's Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) "India remains a high potential market with accelerated retail growth of per cent expected over the next five," highlighted in the report. While releasing a report on emerging trends in retail (Reference: The Indian retail industry is pegged at US$ 500 billion and is expected to reach US$ 1.3 trillion by In addition, the organized retail is expected to reach 25 per cent by 2020, as per the report.

8 64 By analysis, it is identified that there is a significant association between age and their prefer alternatives instead buying new books, age and their prefer ambience with in the book stores, age and their preferred kind of layout within the book store, age and other arrangements expected in book store. Customers prefer a place to sit and read books within the book stores, a coffee shop to relax and internet connection alongside for their personal needs. Factor Analysis Factor Analysis is a data reduction technique. Before proceeding for factor analysis first the researcher tests the eligibility of the data by checking KMO- Bartlett's test which is a measure of sampling adequacy (KMO test also tests for multivariate normality among the variables). The KMO value is.585 which is >0.5 indicates multivariate normality among variables. KMO and Bartlett's Test Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy Bartlett's Test of Sphericity Approx.

Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. a. Rotation converged in 6 iterations. The PRINCIPAL COMPONENT MATRIX gives the component matrix which is rotated using the VARIMAX rotation technique which gives the ROTATED COMPONENT MATRIX.Rotation of factors helps in the better interpretation of factors. Since the first factor in the ROTATED COMPONENT MATRIX is heavily loaded with Alternatives. (Factor loading Value of which is the highest for the first factor) the first factor represents Alternatives. The second factor is heavily loaded with Other Arrangements (0.655) hence factor 2 represents Other Arrangements and thus the subsequent factors can be interpreted based on their Eigen value. The final list of 03 factors which collectively account for 64 % of the variance in the data is shown below:
10 66 S. No Factor name Factor loading 1 Alternatives Other Arrangements Ambience Hence, the most influential factors in our data and project are 1. Alternatives as preference instead buying NEW books. 2. Other Arrangements in book stores (i.e., facilities other than just books sale) 3. Ambience that customers expect within the book stores.

The other preferred mode of purchase in the order of their scores are as below: Online Order, Shopping Center, Home Delivery and Other modes of purchase FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The study focused towards the age group 15-65, covering all the demographic range, including various qualifications, and occupations who have the interests in book reading, and buyer through various modes. Their interests spread across various subjects with preferences associated with multiple attributes. There were around 80 customers participated in the survey, the analysis and results depicted a whole new perspective understanding about the customers. The most influential factors on books sale as realized through this study are Alternatives as preference instead buying NEW books, Other Arrangements in book stores (i.e., facilities other than just books sale) and Ambience that customers expect within the book stores. In the ranking, the top-3 ranks in the kinds of books read goes as follows in the order of their weighted scores; Literature & Novel, Science & Technology and Spiritual. As well, on the Customer s preference with respect to the mode of books purchase, the most preferred mode is by visiting Book Store as that scores Rank 1. The other preferred mode of purchase in the order of their scores are as follows; Online Order, Shopping Center, Home Delivery and Other modes of purchase. The market for electronic books is at a nascent stage in India but there are signs of growth. Customers have an inclination towards e-books or audio books; the market of tablet PCs in India cause a turning point for e-books. Nearly 50% of respondents in our survey prefer electronic method of reading. Customers perceive a growing trend and options to fulfill their book reading interests and preferred mode of purchases. Based on the survey on type of books, Novels and Literature ranks first in customer preferences, Science & Technology the second, Spiritual, Business Management and Children ranks next in the order. On Purchase mode, the customers prefer to buy books from Books Stores, then Online, and visiting Shopping Center or Home Delivery respectively in the order. By research and hypothesis, it is identified that there is a significant association between age and their prefer alternatives instead buying new books, age and their prefer ambience with in the book stores, age and their preferred kind of layout within the book store, age and other arrangements expected in book store. Customers prefer a place to sit and read books within the book stores, a coffee shop to relax and internet connection alongside for their personal needs. While these, customers also prefer a great level of information about exclusive information about books and shopping assistance; a good service by retailers and books price, all these become a deciding authority in the minds of the customers. However, there is large potential in the growth of this segment that benefits both customers and retailers. As well, with growing trend, in a matter of time, a huge capacity of customers may supplement their bookshelves at home with cloud libraries online. The market condition reflects that e-books are unlikely to edge out retail stores in near future. E-books will only be an additional source
12 68 of revenue. When compared, the sales of books through online channels (E-Retailing) being an additional source of revenue to that of retail book stores. The lifestyle of urban Indian population and one of the highest daily commute time in world has also helped in making Audiobooks popular in the region. This is because Audiobooks are primarily seen as an avenue for selfimprovement and education, rather than entertainment. RECOMMENDATIONS: Electronic books to hit the book business was inevitable, but it is coming faster than almost anyone expected, spurred on by the proliferation of devices that carry books, such as Amazon.com's Kindle and Apple Inc.'s ipad. Indian consumers are more secure transacting with a retailer who is present in both formats. Hence to cater the needs of customer Retailing of books need to be in hybrid model - in which the business has both a physical and virtual presence (both the book store and online).the study shows Novels and Literature ranks first in customer preferences, Science & Technology the second, Spiritual, Business Management and Children ranks next in the order. Book stores are the most preferred place or mode for customers to buy books as per our study. Books stores housing all the categories or subjects of books that customers demand will fulfill their need to visit the stores and becomes one stop-shop. Creating a soothing stores ambience, visible display of the new arrivals & provide recommendations, inquire expectations of different age-groups in the layouts by feedbacks. Book retailers need more focus on customer experience. Provision coffee shops and provide a librarylike atmosphere where customers can sit and read, while sipping coffee. Provisioning internet access to customers will enable them with a freedom to access external world for references, price comparisons and as well, activate them for specific asks in subjects they are interested in and expands the book stores horizon. Book retailers must expand the offerings within the book stores like provisioning coffee shops, place to sit and read and internet access Sale of Music CDs and Stationary items will include customers for a visit and influence the overall sales.develop new marketing strategies for book retailing, especially introduce value-added services. Though this is proven a last category of customers ask as per the study, the convenience that customers gain will increase the demand. Introduce value added services like home delivery, with Dial-a-book, Fax-a-book and -a-book programs. Another defined strategy to draw people to books and to its outlets is innovative events, which include book launches, interactive discussions with authors, book reading sessions, children s hour, Dictionary contests, book reading, quizzes, slide shows etc. By focusing on these areas, the retailers will certainly get better customer base and their sales volume will grow. The way to stay in the book business is to find the ability to integrate the book offerings and other products or conveniences that customers would value. BIBLIOGRAPHY [1] Md.
