Costco: Banking on Consistency and Efficiency James Rothaar
Costco just may be the most efficiently ran buyer's club retail operation in the world. The business has both a unique plan and a corporate culture that enables it continue growing year after year both nationally and globally.
This was a group project which was created by myself, Alicia Lo, Lei Lei, Kevin Bernaga, Joanna Nguyen, and BInbin Li in which we created an in-depth case analysis report on the Costco Wholesale company. In this project, we effectively analyzed Costco’s sources of competitive advantage, core competencies, and strategic issues and conducted an internal/external environment analysis, PESTLE analysis, and strategic analysis in order to create strategic recommendations for Costco to follow. We further reinforced strategic recommendations using statistical graphs regarding Costco’s revenues, expenditures, etc.
This project was conducted during our BUS-690 (Business Policy and Strategic Management) course at San Francisco State University.
This was a presentation I did for my first year in the Eller College of Management and myself, along with a team of three other colleagues underwent a thorough marketing analysis of Costco Wholesale Corporation. We focused on a marketing and advertising strategy that comprised facets of community branding, cause-marketing, and green marketing.

Case 17
Costco Wholesale Corporation
Ankur Anand* Charles WL Hill
A man who looks like Wilford Brimley (an American ac- tor) walks into a Costco warehouse store in the Seattle sub- urb of Issaquah, Washington, on a bright Columbus Day morning, easily blending into the throngs of shoppers pick- ing up Kellogg’s Corn akes, toilet paper, and cashmere sweaters. But as soon as Costco CEO Jim Sinegal crosses the threshold of this vast, 150,000-square-foot theater of retail, it’s abundantly clear that he’s not just a spectator— he’s the executive producer, director, and critic. “Jim’s in the building!” crackles over the walkie-talkie of warehouse manager Louie Silveira. In the apparel section, Silveira’s infectious grin morphs into a look of slight panic.1
A sudden hop in his step, Silveira, who can log 15 miles a day walking the aisles, scurries over to Sine- gal. Unsmiling, hands in his pockets, a coffee stain on his $12.99 Costco shirt, Sinegal turns out to be a no-nonsense connoisseur of detail. He greets his manager with a bar- rage of questions: “What’s new today?”
“We just moved this $800 espresso machine to an end- cap,” Silveira responds, meaning he moved it out from the middle of the aisle to a more prominent location at the end.
“How are in-stocks?”
“We’re good there.”
“What did we do in produce last week?” “$220,000.”
Wielding a barcode scanner like a six-shooter,
Silveira answers each query to Sinegal’s satisfaction, but evidently that’s not often the case.

Costco Wholesale Corporation
is a membership-only warehouse club that provides a wide selection of mer- chandise. As of July 2012, it is the second largest retailer in the United States, the seventh largest retailer in the
world and the largest membership warehouse club chain in the United States.2
Costco operates membership warehouses based on the concept that offering its members low prices on a limited selection of nationally branded and private-label products in a wide range of merchandise categories will produce high sales volumes and rapid inventory turnover. This turnover, when combined with the operating ef ciencies achieved by volume purchasing, ef cient distribution and reduced handling of merchandise in no-frills, self-service warehouse facilities, enables Costco to operate pro tably at signi cantly lower gross margins than traditional wholesal- ers, mass merchandisers, supermarkets, and supercenters.3
Costco’s typical warehouse averages approximately 143,000 square feet; newer units tend to be slightly larger. Floor plans are designed for economy and ef ciency in the use of selling space, the handling of merchandise, and the control of inventory. Because shoppers are attracted prin- cipally by the quality of merchandise and the availability of low prices, Costco’s warehouses do not have elaborate facilities. By strictly controlling the entrances and exits of its warehouses and using a membership format, Costco has limited inv ...

Ingles’ ability to remain competitive in its changing markets will depend in part on its ability to pursue expansion and brand renovation programs and its response to new store openings by its competitors. Every single shopping experience is different. If Ingles invests in understanding how the consumer travels across the store and see how to make the experience frictionless, convenient and emotional, they can then take that data look at the decisions Ingles is making and look at their impact on the consumer. Much of a grocery store’s revenue growth comes from understanding individual consumers and not relying on demographics. Instead, a DNA on each consumer, rather than cramming them into segments, is what drives their behavior — do they have kids, do they skew toward healthy or fun, do they like organic or convenience, and where are they price sensitive — across all products or only on some. Understanding loyalty is key to making good decisions for consumer. If grocery store is out of a favorite yogurt it is apt to lose a consumer’s total sale. Kosher butter may be a low revenue producer, but for some consumers, its absence means they will take their business to another store. Ingles’ competitive advantages include convenient locations, the quality of service it provides its consumers, competitive pricing, product variety and quality and a pleasant shopping environment, which is enhanced by its ongoing modernization program.
Starbucks Corp. is betting its future on its coffee shops.To do .docxsusanschei
Starbucks Corp. is betting its future on its coffee shops.
To do that, the Seattle-based company has removed a distraction by selling the rights to offer its coffee and tea in grocery and retail stores to Nestle SA for more than $7 billion.
Coffee sellers from Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. to McDonald's Corp. have crowded supermarket shelves with branded bags of ground and roasted beans. Starbucks products will give Switzerland-based Nestle a bigger stake in that fight without having to introduce a new brand to U.S. consumers.
For Starbucks, the consumer packaged-goods business generated $1.8 billion in revenue in fiscal 2017, just 8% of Starbucks's total.
"While consumer packaged goods is an important and highly profitable business, it's small," said Michael Schaefer, head of Euromonitor's global food and beverage practice.
Sales have been slowing at Starbucks coffee shops in the U.S. as mall traffic declines and competition increases. Starbucks has opened higher-end stores under brands called Roastery and Reserve to compete with independent coffee shops and small chains that have grabbed sales from customers willing to pay more for specialty drinks and pastries. There are nearly 33,000 coffee shops in the U.S., according to market-research firm Mintel, up 16% from five years ago.
Starbucks also wants to open more coffee shops in China, a market the Seattle-based company said will eventually overtake the U.S. as its largest. The company recently opened its first Roastery store in Shanghai.
Retail operations in the U.S. and China "are our two big growth engines," Starbucks Chief Executive Kevin Johnson told investors on a call about the deal Monday.
Starbucks has dropped other ancillary businesses recently to focus on its coffee shops. Last fall, Starbucks sold its Tazo tea brand to Unilever for $384 million. The company recently closed its mall-based Teavana tea stores because of weak traffic.
Starbucks shares fell 23 cents to $57.45 on Monday. Nestle stock rose 1.6%.
The deal gives Starbucks an upfront infusion of cash that it plans to return to shareholders through share buybacks. Starbucks said it planned to give $20 billion to shareholders over three years in buybacks and dividends. That might assuage some shareholder concerns as Starbucks works to boost sales growth.
Nestle said it would pay Starbucks $7.15 billion as well as continuing royalties on all sales. Mr. Johnson said the partnership will raise familiarity with the Starbucks brand by getting its ground and whole bean coffee into international markets where it isn't currently sold.
Nestle hopes more coffee sales can offset flagging sales of some of its other packaged-food businesses. As part of the Starbucks deal, Nestle will add Starbucks Reserve, Seattle's Best Coffee and Teavana to a portfolio that includes the Nescafe and Nespresso brands. Nestle will also manage the business of distributing Starbucks K-Cups, the single-serve coffee pods used in Keurig brewers in North America.

Lottery is banned in various states in the US mainly due to its impacts on the society. The purchase of lottery can be addictive, hence impacting the livelihood of many. However, due to easier ROI, the demand for lottery has increased. Higher jackpot values have raised the demand for tickets with larger jackpot amount in state lotteries of the US. This lures casual players into the game as they buy the lottery tickets only when the prize is highly attractive. A large audience was attracted to the prize money of $100 million in 2013. However, due to the influence of jackpot fatigue, the lottery vendor's revenue flow is restricted as fewer people are buying lottery tickets, which is affecting the growth of the market in the country. With jackpot fatigue creeping in the US lottery market, prize amount as high as $300 million is expected to fetch more players.

Weight Management: U.S. Consumer Mindsets by Packaged FactsMarketResearch.com
The upward trend in obesity that has vexed public health officials for decades may have leveled out and the healthy eating movement remains on the upswing. Still, nearly 100 million Americans are watching their diet to lose weight or to maintain their current weight. Successful weight management remains a tough and never-ending battle for many Americans trying to stay on a traditional diet plan. The majority of overweight Americans find that the very idea of a strict diet poses an obstacle to their weight loss desires. Most agree that they would like to lose weight but assert that they find it too hard to stick to a strict diet plan or eating strategy.
Moreover, dieters trying to stick to their current diet plan or eating strategy face challenges from all sides, especially from the temptation posed by foods they crave but aren’t supposed to eat regularly. As a result, a majority of those on a diet plan have been on it for less than nine months.
Against this background, Weight Management: U.S. Consumer Mindsets takes an in-depth look at the transformation that is now underway in the culture of weight management in America. Using data compiled by Packaged Facts National Online Consumer Survey, the report digs deeply into the mindsets of consumers immersed in managing their weight.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
2. Company Description
The company's first location, opened in 1976 under the Price Club name, was in a converted
airplane hangar on Morena Boulevard in San Diego. The company found it could achieve far
greater buying power by serving small businesses and a select audience of non-business
members. With that, the growth of the warehouse club industry was off and running. In 1983,
the first Costco warehouse location opened in Seattle. Costco became the first company to grow
from zero to $3 billion in sales in less than six years. When Costco and Price Club merged in 1993
to become PriceCostco, it had 206 locations generating $16 billion in annual sales.
Our operating philosophy has remained simple: Keep costs down and pass the savings on to our
members. Our large membership base and tremendous buying power, combined with our never-
ending quest for efficiency, result in the lowest possible prices for our members. Since resuming
the Costco name in 1997, the company has grown worldwide. During the past fiscal year (ended
August 28, 2016), total sales were $116.1 billion.
3. Profile
Costco Wholesale Corporation operates an international chain of membership warehouses,
mainly under the "Costco Wholesale" name, that carry quality, brand name merchandise at
substantially lower prices than are typically found at conventional wholesale or retail sources. The
warehouses are designed to help small-to-medium-sized businesses reduce costs in purchasing
for resale and for everyday business use. Individuals may also purchase for their personal needs.
Costco's warehouses present one of the largest and most exclusive product category selections to
be found under a single roof. Categories include groceries, candy, appliances, television and
media, automotive supplies, tires, toys, hardware, sporting goods, jewelry, watches, cameras,
books, housewares, apparel, health and beauty aids, tobacco, furniture, office supplies and office
equipment. Costco is known for carrying top quality national and regional brands, with 100%
satisfaction guaranteed, at prices consistently below traditional wholesale or retail outlets.
Members can also shop for private label Kirkland Signature™ products, designed to be of equal or
better quality than national brands, including juice, cookies, coffee, housewares, luggage,
clothing and detergent. The Company also operates self-service gasoline stations at a number of
its U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, Spain and United Kingdom locations.
Additionally, Costco Wholesale Industries, a division of the Company, operates manufacturing
businesses, including special food packaging, optical laboratories, meat processing and jewelry
distribution. These businesses have a common goal of providing members with high quality
products at substantially lower prices.
