Though China’s per capita chocolate consumption is low by European standards..

China has 1.2 BILLION people, so it is still a sizable market; Mars has 50% market share of the $2B+ chocolate market

What does it mean to be a consultant?

Consultants help businesses address their most complex challenges by:

– Developing executable strategies

– Driving positive operational change

– Transferring knowledge and skills

What exactly do consultants do?

Consultants are hired because they provide:

− Innovative solutions and perspectives – “outside the box” thinking to develop more

effective results

− Skills and knowledge outside of the client’s competency

− External objectivity when businesses are faced with difficult decisions

Why do companies hire consultants?

A Diverse Range of Locations

Case Study: Luxury Retailer – Profitability, Customer Strategy & Breakevens:Level 1 Qualitative

BUSINESS SITUATION

Our client is a luxury clothing retailer with 200 outlets in the Unites States and roughly $2 billion in annual revenue. Traditionally our client has been known for selling high end clothes to affluent individuals. In addition our client has prided itself on its high level of customer service. Despite competing in a very competitive marketplace the client experienced double-digit profit growth from 2006-2008. With the recession of 2009 came decreased profitability for many retailers, and our client saw its profitability decrease drastically when compared to its primary competitors. The client has engaged X to try to understand why profitability has declined and to implement strategies to reverse the trend.

LEVEL 1 QUESTION: QUALITATIVE (GENERAL – PROFITABLITY)

What are some client-specific factors we should explore when assessing why our client’s profitability decreased in 2009?

POTENTIAL RESPONSE:The student should identify the key drivers of profitability (i.e., revenue and cost) and should highlight that the factors impacting our client’s profitability are likely internal given that they were differentially impacted by the recession.

Revenue

• Candidate should employ a high level analysis of internal profitability (P = R - C)

• Candidate should further sub-divide Revenue into Price and Volume (if asked, interviewer should note that price has remained constant while volume has fallen off considerably)

• A strong candidate will examine company-specific factors that may result in decreased volume

˗ Examples: Decrease in brand’s popularity, price sensitivity, increased competition, reduced store locations, ineffective sales force, etc.

Cost

• Similar to the steps noted above for revenue considerations, the student should state that they would like to take a look at the cost side of the equation in more detail

• This analysis could include analyzing both fixed and variable costs:

˗ Fixed: Facilities, Lease/Rent, Salaried Employees, Utilities, etc.

˗ Variable: COGS (Materials, Direct Labor, etc), Transportation, SG&A, etc.

Overall Profitability: In general, the student should recognize that given the decline in profitability and the maintenance of price, either (1) costs are growing disproportionately to revenues or (2) revenues are declining faster then costs can be reduced.

Luxury Retailer – Profitability Strategies: Level 2 Qualitative

LEVEL 2 QUESTION: QUALITATIVE (MARKET SEGMENTATION)

QUESTION AND RESPONSE

Although the entire luxury retail market has experienced a decline in profitability, our client’s profitability has decreased more substantially than its primary competitors. Consequently, the client believes that internal issues have driven its comparably large decline in profitability. Moving forward the client would like to return to its previous profitability and take advantage of the recession to grow its market share. The client, however, does not want to reduce prices in order to preserve their brand image and market positioning. Consequently, the client has asked Deloitte to explore options to improve the “Customer Experience” in order to enhance profitability and market share.

What factors contribute to a positive buying experience for customers? Keep in mind that customer experience spans multiple buying channels including in-store, online, phone, catalog, etc. When you think about your favorite retail shopping experiences what aspects matter most?

• Channel Breadth (In-Store, Online, Phone, Catalog, etc.)

• Marketing (Direct Mail, Email, Phone-calls, Magazines/Periodicals, Social Media, etc.)

• Employee Interactions (Friendliness, Helpfulness, Knowledge, etc.)

• Store Policies (Returns, Exchange, etc.)

• Customer Service (In-Store, Call Center, Online, etc.)

• Convenience (Number of Locations, Geography, etc.)

Based on our clients stated goal of tying customer experience enhancements to improved profitability, what client experience improvement strategies should be considered?

• In-Store

˗ Training programs for sales associates

˗ Incentive programs for associates to push better customer interaction

˗ Hiring practices and strategy

• Point of Sale

˗ Loyalty/Reward programs

˗ Online or Social media selling

˗ Enhance in-store experience by building café’s and other interactive services in-store

• Merchandise

˗ Customer surveys to determine better merchandise

˗ Marketing targeted to specific segments

˗ Better placement of merchandise in stores

Which option represents the greatest upside for the client given their goals of profitability?

Addressable Households

Total Market Share: 13%

Addressable Market: 10MM Households

Targeted Market: 87% * 10M HH = 8.7HH

Potential upside: $10 * 8.7M = $87M

Est. Profit Increase: $87M–36.4M=$50.6M

Option 2: Customized Advertising

Variable cost: $6/household * 8.7M = $52.2M

Fixed Costs : 15M

Luxury Retailer – Profitability Improvement and Breakeven:Level 2 Quantitative

LEVEL 2 QUESTION: QUANTITATIVE Break-Even

QUESTION AND RESPONSE ADDITIONAL DATA

Based on our recommendations the client has decided to pursue one of two options to improve the customer experience: (1) Create a customer loyalty program or(2) Conduct Targeted advertising. Assume that the client currently has a 13% market share. The client wants to target these promotions towards those households that currently do not shop at their stores. Which option represents the greatest upside for the client given their goals of profitability?

Addressable Households

Total Market Share: 13%

Addressable Market: 10MM Households

Targeted Market: 87% * 10M HH = 8.7HH

Option 1: Customer Loyalty Program

First 3M HH: $5/household * 3M = 15M

Next 5.7M HH: $2/household * 5.7M = 11.4M

Fixed Costs: $10M

Total Costs: ($5* 3M) + ($2*5.7M) + $10M = 36.4

Potential upside: $10 * 8.7M = $87M

Est. Profit Increase: $87M–36.4M=$50.6M

Option 2: Customized Advertising

Variable cost: $6/household * 8.7M = $52.2M

Fixed Costs : 15M

Total Costs: (6*8.7M) + 15M = $67.2M

Potential Upside: 13*8.7M = $113.1M

Est. Profit Increase: $113.1M–67.2M=45.9M

The client should select Option A
