price • Role of price for a retailer: price helps define the value of the merchandise, the service, and the store image • Price must always be aligned with the other elements of the retailer’s strategy
Promotion =communicating; persuading • Good promotion, both inside the retail environment and in the media, can mean the difference between flat sales and a growing consumer base. • Advertising, sales promotions • Promotion inside the stores: displays and signs, POP or in strategic areas
promotion • Once in the store, will consumers buy? • Many retailers are devoting more resources to their overall retail environment as a means of adding value (“fun place to shop”). Music, color, scent, lighting, aisle width, seating, crowding.
promotion • Personal selling and customer service reps are part of the overall promotional package. They provide consumers with valuable information and thereby facilitate purchase. Need to be trained well by both retailers and manufacturers
More Training = better service • In the US, average training: 7 hours for each new store employee • Mercadona: • Sees training as an INVESTMENT in their people • Invests 4 WEEKS of training and spends 5,000 Euros for each new employee • Result: Customers receive better service
place • Many customers choose stores on the basis of where they’re located • Options that retailers experiment with: free-standing stores; or where there’s a captive market (for e.g., in an airport)
