  8. COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS

  9. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS • People who live in densely populated urban areas love Target. • Unfortunately, many of these guests must travel to neighboring suburbs to shop at the closest Target. • The size of a typical Target store (60-80,000 square feet) makes building new stores unrealistic in urban settings. • Develop CityTarget with square footage only 40-60% of what a normal Target store would be and backroom storage for excess product will be less than half of our full size format store.

  20. RESEARCH METHODS

  21. RESEARCH FINDINGS The economy has affected my shopping behavior. • Effect of Recessionary Economy • Strongly Agree: 61% • Agree: 33% • Consider direct mailing of coupons & customer incentives such as a “club card” When I go shopping, convenience is important to me. • Importance of Convenience • Strongly Agree: 54% • Agree: 40% • Consider many locations, a wide variety of products, and “one-stop shopping”

  22. RESEARCH FINDINGS • Preferred Convenience Store • Target: 54% • Wal-Mart: 29% • We have favorable prospects, but Wal-Mart is our main competitor. 8% 7% 6% 54% 29% At which of the following stores do you prefer to shop?

  23. RESEARCH FINDINGS • Number of Items Purchased per Visit • 0-5 items: 47% • 5-10: 40% • Little investments in shopping carts, emphasize baskets and bags, optimize fast checkout lanes. How many items do you usually buy when shopping at Target? • Top 3 Departments • Cut departments that are not popular. Smaller store formats will include less departments than larger, 2-story stores.

  24. SWOT ANALYSIS I Opportunities Open smaller, even more convenient store in big cities Expand presence in the U.S. Establish presence internationally Start a club card Focus on cost-cutting to lower prices of products • Threats • Competitors: Wal-Mart & K-Mart • Recession in the U.S. Economy • Maintaining low costs with stylish images • to stay on top of consumer trends Weaknesses Lack of urban presence Small pharmacy market share Lack of international presence Less number of stores compared to competitors Prices are not as low as some competitors • Strengths • Superior customer service • Well-known brand recognition • Convenient “one stop shop” • Wide selection of products • Offers well-known brands • Maintain value based low prices • Overall appeal of store • Clean • Bright • Inviting • Dedicated to community

  26. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS Electronics Current Target shoppers agree this is one of the most visited departments in the store, and one of the areas where they spend the most time shopping. A generous assortment of cameras, iPods and iPod accessories is needed. The need for cameras will also satisfy the demand by tourists.

  27. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS Groceries A comprehensive assortment of grocery items, including organic and gluten-free selections is required to satiate the lifestyle of local, affluent residents. Additionally, City Target should target the large workforce in the area by offering lunch-time meal solutions, and offering amicrowave where shoppers can heat up frozen dinners.

  28. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS Alcohol Sales The sale of alcoholic beverages allows City Target to compete in the “convenience market”. A focus on craft beer will provide City Target a competitive advantage of a growing trend, accompanied by higher margins. Stocking beers in high demand by local breweries, like Goose Island also gives Target a way to connect with their target market.
