WHERE WILL THEY SHOP?

• Discount

• Quality

• Specialty

3 TYPES OF STORES

• The DISCOUNT format is based on providing the lowest price.

• This format is primarily PRICE focused.

• Price-driven retailers seek to find and promote the best prices on products they think they can sell.

• Unless a retailer has the buying power of Wal-Mart, either quality of product or margins will often suffer.

• Price-based marketing attracts cherry pickers.

• The QUALITY format is based on providing solutions, value, service and results.

• This marketing is EDUCATION based, seeking to attract the preferred, higher-educated consumer.

• This format is CONSUMER focused.

• Quality-driven retailers seek to determine what their customers need, and provide solutions and benefits to align with these needs.

Specialty

• The Specialty format is based on being really good at something.

• Often destination based.

• People learn what your specialty is and refer their friends and family.
