During the past few months I have visited K-Mart many times to make purchases as the location is very close to my employer. I find the store to be clean and neat; however the store is very large and sometimes can be confusing in where to find things. Products seem to be spread out and rather than keeping seasonal products up front where the customer can get to them easily the customer has to walk all the way to the back of the store to get to them. I am sure that the reason for this is to make the customers walk past the jewelry counter, electronics, toys and cosmetics in hopes they will purchase additional items. Many of the sales associates are friendly, however they seem to be hard to find.
When stores offer discounts on a certain day “Black Friday” people will wait outside store. Consumers can do their shopping from home. People are able to look at all the product that they are looking to buy and find the best one that will fit their need. This can be done right from one place, their home. The ability to shop from one place is more effective than driving around to several stores and hopes to get the things that they want.
Feature Areas The Reitmans store’s feature areas include windows, walls, promotional areas, freestanding fixtures and mannequins, point of sale areas and fitting room. Windows The Reitmans store’s display window is located in the front of the store. In the display window, some of the store’s newest merchandise is being presented through several mannequins, with a row of spotlights shining the merchandise. These window displays can help draw customers into the Reitmans store and are providing a visual message about the women spring apparel for sale in the store and the affordably stylish image that the Reitmans store wishes to portray. Walls The three walls of the store are divided into two
I believe that there is an implied contract here between McDougal and Krunch. “This type of contract differs from an express contract in that the conduct of the parties, rather than their words, creates and defines at least some of the terms of the contract (Miller & Jentz, 2008, pg. 156).” McDougal’s gesture to Krunch was the conduct that initiates this agreement. The fact that McDougal comes into the store every day and purchases candy every day makes him a regular customer. McDougal’s gesture to Krunch indicates that he was leaving the store with this item and Krunch did not stop him.
These items are items that the consumers are asking for and are in a high demand for which brings us into the store to shop or even browse because we know that there is always some new merchandise that is put out. There are times that what I find in this store seems so original that I am always returning to see what other new items I may come across. The customers will pay money for the products that are desired from Sincerely Yours which is exchanging product for
In May last year it was said that Morrison’s is putting into place a network of lockers to its stores that will allow shoppers to pick up click-and-collect parcels. Once again Morrison’s is putting this into place to compete with the other big supermarkets. The first Morrison’s collection point is already operating at the store on Dewsbury Road in Wakefield but it is still a process with a lot of progression to go. Having a click collect system in place is an advantage for Morrison’s as again it is now like the other four supermarkets as they also have the click and collect scheme but it is also an advantage for regular customers at Morrison’s as they can order stuff online and just pick it up in store this also saves customers delivery costs. Overall Morrison’s have responded to their competitive pressures fairly well however there are also some disadvantages this includes the time in which they entered the online grocery market and the risk they took on comparing prices with stores such as Aldi, furthermore with recent news it is clear Morrison’s have not been making consistent profits therefore this shows some of their strategies to not be so
Its trendy merchandise at affordable prices launched a new era in discount retailing. It served as the prototype for every Target store opened since then, and it changed how consumers think about discount shopping.

Wal-Mart (WMT) Stock Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) is currently a highly rated stock, with a B (buy) rating. I chose Wal-Mart because it is a store that I am familiar with. I shop there on a regular basis. I think it is safe to say that most everyone would be familiar with the retail industry as well, with Wal-Mart specifically being a mass merchandiser in this industry. I feel like Wal-Mart is strong financially.
