Developing Sustainable Competitive Advantages 
1. Customer Loyalty: Customers must be committed to buying merchandise and services 
from a particular retailer. This can be accomplished through retail branding, positioning, 
and loyalty programs. A loyalty program is like a "Target card. " Now, when the 
customer uses the card as a credit card, Target can track all of their transactions and store 
it in their data warehouse, which keeps track of the customer's needs and wants outside of 
Target. This will entice Target to offer products that they do not have in stock. Target 
tracks all sales done on their cards. So, Target can track customers who use their card at 
other retailers and compete by providing that merchandise as well. 
2. Location: Location is a critical factor in a consumer's selection of a store. Starbucks 
coffee (shown here ) is an example. They will conquer one area of a city at a time and 
then expand in the region. They open stores close to one another to let the storefront 
promote the company; they do little media advertising due to their location strategy. 
3. Distribution and Information Systems: Walmart has killed this part of the retailing 
strategy. Retailers try to have the most effective and efficient way to get their products at 
a cheap price and sell them for a reasonable price. Distributing is extremely expensive 
and timely. 
4. Unique Merchandise: Private label brands are products developed and marketed by a 
retailer and available only from the retailer. For example, if you want Craftsman tools, 
you must go to Sears to purchase them. 
5. Vendor Relations: Developing strong relations with vendors may gain exclusive rights to 
sell merchandise to a specific region and receive popular merchandise in short supply. 
6. Customer Service: This takes time to establish but once it's established, it will be hard for 
a competitor to a develop a comparable reputation. 
7. Multiple Source Advantage: Having an advantage over multiple sources is important. For 
example, McDonald's is known for fast, clean, and hot food. They have cheap meals, nice 
facilities, and good customer service with a strong reputation for always providing fast, 
hot food.
