AIMSThis topic seeks to:

compare traditional and electronic retailing; identify the benefits of electronic retailing (e-

retailing); examine the key successes and factors; introduce models & features of e-retailing;

Page 24: Retail Final Ppt

24

TRADITIONAL RETAILINGSelling to a final customer through a physicaloutlet or through direct communication e.g.:

Malls – collection of individual stores, individually managed. Mall management provides physical location where a retailer can create an outlet;

Generalised stores – have a unified management but carry different product lines;

Specialised stores – sell a specific product line;

Page 25: Retail Final Ppt

TRADITIONAL RETAILING (CNTD) Franchise stores – a single marketing and brand,

but individual store may be run by a different management, with a fee paid back to franchisee.

Direct mailing – catalogue is sent to customer, who then send a mail order.

Other forms:

telemarketing; door-to-door sales; vending machines;

have moved away from physical outlet to virtual retailing.

RETAIL MARKETING MIX AND PLANNING

Charles Blankson, Ph.D.

Page 67: Retail Final Ppt

THE NATURE OF RETAIL MARKETING The key aspects of retail marketing is an

attitude of mind. In making retail marketing decisions, retailers

must consider the needs of the customers. Retail marketing decisions are driven by what

the shoppers need and want.2

Page 68: Retail Final Ppt

THE NATURE OF RETAIL MARKETING … Retail marketing is therefore a philosophy

and is all about satisfying the customers What the customers regard as value and

what they buy is decisive. What the customers buy determines the

nature of the retailer’s business.3

Page 69: Retail Final Ppt

THE NATURE OF RETAIL MARKETING

The essence of retail marketing is developing merchandise and services that satisfy specific needs of customers, and supplying them at prices that will yield profits.

Retailers must take the customers’ needs into consideration in retail operation.

Page 70: Retail Final Ppt

THE NATURE OF RETAIL MARKETING

Retail marketing is stimulating, quick-paced, and influential.

It encompasses a wide range of activities including:Environmental analysisMarket researchConsumer analysisProduct planning etc.

5

Page 71: Retail Final Ppt

THE CONCEPT OF RETAIL MARKETING

The retail marketing concept is the acceptance by the retailer that it is the “customer” and not “demand” that lie at the core of the retail organisation.

The retail marketing concept is a philosophy, not a system of retailing or retail structure.

It is founded on the belief that profitable retailing and satisfactory returns on investment can only be achieved by identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer needs and desires.

It is an attitude of mind that places the customer at the very centre of retailing activities.

71

Page 72: Retail Final Ppt

IMPORTANCE OF MARKETING IN RETAILING

Marketing is a vital tool for every retailer, as it identifies current, unfulfilled needs and wants, which it defines and quantifies.

Marketing determines which target groups the retailer should serve.

Marketing could be seen as delivering an acceptable standard of living.

Marketing can ensure complete satisfaction and sustained customer loyalty.

Marketing depends on the efficient co-ordination of consumer prediction, product development, packaging design and influencing demand through appropriate communication medium.

From these, a suitable mix is achieved.72

Page 73: Retail Final Ppt

RETAIL MARKETING OBJECTIVES

The retail marketing objective is a performance parameter which has been explicitly stated.

It can be stated in quantifiable terms and time terms so that results can be measured against it.

Three types of retail objectives include:1. Basic objective – those which defines

retailer’s long-term purposes.2. Goals – those which the retailer must

achieve to be successful3. Targets – short-term goals that require

immediate achievement.73

Page 74: Retail Final Ppt

RETAIL MARKETING MIX Retail marketing mix is the term used to

describe the various elements and methods required to formulate and execute retail marketing strategy.

Retail managers must determine the optimum mix of retailing activities and co-ordinate the elements of the mix.

The aim of such coordination is for each store to have a distinct retail image in consumers’ mind.

The mix may vary greatly according to the type of market the retailer is in, and the type of product/services.

74.

Page 75: Retail Final Ppt

RETAIL MARKETING MIX

While many elements may make up a firm’s retail marketing mix, the essential elements may include:

Store location, merchandise assortments Store ambience, customer service, price, Communication with customers

THE MIX PLANNING

The retail marketing mix is the vehicle through which a retailer’s marketing strategy is implemented and, in planning the mix, retailers should be guided by three basic principles:

1. The mix must be consistent with the expectation of target customers;

2. Elements must be consistent with each other to create synergy; and

3. The mix must be responsive to competitive strategy.

STRATEGIC RETAIL PLANNING

This is the process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit between the retail organisation’s capabilities and its changing marketing opportunities.

It relies on developing a clear corporate mission, supporting objectives, creating a sound business portfolio, and coordinating functional strategies.

92.

Page 93: Retail Final Ppt

CORPORATE LEVEL PLANNING

Retail management should plan which business the retailer should stay in and which new areas to pursue.

Design the retail organisation to withstand shocks.

Adapt the organisation to take advantage of market opportunities.

Define the corporate mission.93.

Page 94: Retail Final Ppt

MISSION STATEMENT

A strategic plan should begin with a mission statement.

A mission statement is a statement of the retail organization’s purpose, what it wants to achieve in the large environment.

It guides people in the retail organization so that they can work independently and yet collectively towards overall organizational goals.

94.

Page 95: Retail Final Ppt

EXAM TYPE QUESTION It is the effective blending of all the elements

of retail marketing mix activities within the retail organization that determines the success of retail marketing management. Discuss this statement and explain with retail examples how the elements of retail marketing mix could be blended to ensure the success of retail operation.

Mastering the process of trying to optimise the retail marketing mix still defies and frustrates most retail managers. Explain why personal guesswork and intuitions are used by retail managers most of the time.

TYPES OF RETAILERS

Retailers are classified based on: Amount of service they offer Breadth & depth of product lines Relative prices charged How they are organized

Page 97: Retail Final Ppt

AMOUNT OF SERVICE Self-Service Retailers:

Serve customers who are willing to perform their own “locate-compare-select” process to save money.

Limited-Service Retailers: Provide more sales assistance because they carry

more shopping goods about which customers need information.

Full-Service Retailers: Usually carry more specialty goods for which

customers like to be “waited on.”
