Executive Summary
The internship report stresses on the work experience I have gathered as
an entrepreneur in Shoe Palace under the Guidance of my dad Mr.
Ramesh K Shah from 2nd May, 2019. – 31st July, 2019. I mainly have
incorporated my experience at Shoe Palace especially on consumer
buying behavior, market trend analysis, gaining orders from hotel
industries, gaining orders from schools, stock filling activities, labor
management and business development activities.
The main objective was to understand the customers, also I was guided
in setting up the visual display to attract customers.
There are few gaps in our business. Major one is the reach towards the
customers. The retail outlet is around 23 years old and we have a huge
amount of loyal customers but we are lacking behind for new footfalls.
Therefore, we are planning to enter in online selling of products on
different websites such as Amazon, Flipkart and many more which will
help us to fulfill the gap.

Overview of the data collected and data used

The study will be both a mixture of quantitative along with qualitative part. A basic overview of the data collected and used to make this report is described below: - A. Data type:-

Like primary source, Secondary source is also major stream of information for the report. List of secondary source are as follows: -

  1. Internet
  2. Social media websites
  3. Articles
  4. Other sources Sample For this project I have selected a sample of size of 133 from the population. As it was anonymous online survey, the sample was randomly selected. The survey was anonymous because most of the people accessing the online websites are very cautious about their privacy for which they do not want to disclose information to other

people especially while in survey. In this research, the sample is all the people such as students, entrepreneurs, freelancers, part time employees and full time employees. I am using primary data, as the information that has been gathered is specifically for this research. Data Analysis: - Data Analysis is the procedure of efficiently applying measurable and sensible systems to portray, consolidate and recap and assess information. It is an important element. I tried to collect both qualitative as well as quantitative data. Due to time constraint google forms were used to collect and analyze the data on online platform. They have a powerful database system and tools that can make charts out of the collected data and make the analysis. It was handy for analyzing data. Google Forms made my job much easier. These tools were suited in my research as it was a descriptive research. Besides, it worked fine in exporting Google Forms data to Ms Office. I did not have to input the data again. It was all done by Google Forms analysis tool. After exporting, Ms Office was used because it is widely used and also has enough functions for sorting, filtering, removing duplicates, formulas for totals, percentages etc.

 I started my work with my dad in our own firm. As I’d worked with my dad prior to this internship I was much aware about the business that my dad runs. So it was a bit easy going with for me but then I faced challenges after I started my work as an intern at our own retail outlet. We use to put stalls in some schools for the means of selling school products such as school shoes, socks etc. As we had tie-ups with 2 schools.  At that time we were forced to keep our retail outlet close for 2- 3 days due to which the sale of other footwear products suffered.  This was a big challenge faced by us due to lack of availability of workers. I suggested my dad that we can distribute our business cards in the schools to all our customers. My dad permitted me to do so and the school also permitted us to do so. On the day of open house we distributed our business cards.  This step was successful as we started selling the school products from our store.  We could see our customer base increasing as the customers visited our shop to buy school products and along with that some customers started buying other products as well from our shop.  So this helped us in spreading awareness of our shop.  We gained many new customers.

 This also did not give a negative impact to our sale of other footwear products but our sales increased.  Overall this was the first successful step taken by us which helped us in developing business.  The main advantage was that our shop was near-by the schools, so it was very easy for the customers to track our shop. b) Supplying shoes to hotel industry.  Another initiative that was taken by us was to sell shoes to the service industry.  With the guidance of my dad, I started visiting my hotels such as Ginger Mumbai, Grand Homtel, and many more
