A Complete Model of the Supermarket Business - ArticleFrank Steeneken
This article provides a complete picture of the underlying skeletal structure that holds every supermarket business together while achieving it goals. The supermarket model introduces a comprehensive framework for managing the complexity of a supermarket structure, and a reusable blueprint for visualizing how a supermarket company actually does business.
The model’s clearly-defined core-processes and their functions provide a powerful baseline for improving business performance. By viewing a supermarket business as a single functional system, the nature of its underlying core processes become clear. Then by managing and improving them as parts of a single system, substantial improvements can be made on critical success factors, such as lead-time requirements and the precise availability of stock when needed, throughout the supply chain.
The method used to develop this Supermarket Model is a collaborative adaptation of an earlier technique, called “Integrated Modeling Method.” That method showed how every business enterprise has the same inherent system structure. This new supermarket model incorporates basic elements of that method, with major improvements and a much clearer understanding of how a supermarket business operates in today’s world-wide market environment

Key aspects that are addressed include registering items with RFID tags, using a reader to detect items in the fridge, allowing mobile searches of fridge contents, and facilitating mobile payments. The proposed system aims to save users time during shopping.

Goodyear damaged its reputation in the 1990s through poor distribution channel management. It offered inconsistent pricing to dealers, fulfilled only 50% of dealer orders, and gave bulk discounts to big retailers, alienating smaller dealers. As a result, dealers complained and switched to other brands, hurting Goodyear's sales. To regain dealer loyalty and sales, Goodyear needs to offer fair and consistent pricing, compensate dealers adequately, and keep distributors informed and satisfied. When distributors are happy, the supply chain runs smoothly, consumers remain happy, and the manufacturer profits.
The document discusses Walmart's marketing plan to launch its own brand of affordable fashion apparel. It analyzes Walmart's strengths as the world's largest retailer with loyal customers and everyday low pricing. However, it also examines weaknesses such as increasing expenses and competition. The marketing strategies proposed include segmenting customers based on income and thriftiness, targeting urban 20-35 year olds, and implementing strategies around product, price, place and promotion.
1. While loyalty is often seen as a key priority for marketing departments, the evidence shows that potential gains from new customer acquisition are typically higher than gains from increased loyalty alone.
2. Customer loyalty varies only slightly across brands and is primarily determined by a brand's market penetration, making it difficult to achieve significantly higher loyalty levels.
3. For most brands, growth comes more from winning new customers rather than extracting more from existing loyal customers, as loyalty increases only minimally even for fast-growing brands. The primary role of marketing should be customer acquisition, not loyalty improvement.
Our creative theme is "because you're you" which aims to personally connect with the target market by highlighting individuality and style uniqueness.

The campaign is designed to have longevity, differentiate JCPenney from competitors, and ultimately increase sales.

During the economic recession, Target emphasized value more through messages like "Fresh for Less" to address falling sales.

How to Make Your Jewelry Shop POP! 7 Steps to Extraordinary Retail SuccessPamela Danziger
Small is the next big story in retail—small as in independently owned businesses that often make America’s ‘Main Streets’ their home. This trend will reshape the retail landscape for the next decade, fueled by the desire of the highest- spending customers for new shopping experiences that they can’t find at the mall, in the national chains or in big box stores.
The most successful among these specialty retailers will be those who have shops that POP! Their secret: Success in retailing today is LESS about what you sell, and MORE about how your sell it.
It’s this understanding that shops that POP! use to create extraordinary shopping experience for the customers. Rather than just a store set up to sell stuff, it becomes a stage on which the shop owner tells their special story to and for the customer. It combines a unique vision with carefully curated products and services delivered in a personal and personalized way to people who are not just customers, but true friends. Main Street retailers must play to their number-one competitive advantage: their personal touch.
In this presentation, Danziger delves into the opportunities and challenges for jewelry stores to create extraordinary shopping experiences by drawing upon examples in Danziger’s new book, Shops that POP! 7 Steps to Extraordinary Retail Success. For jewelry store owners and jewelry marketers to help their businesses grow.

It provides several examples of brands that failed or succeeded by focusing on customers versus brands, and provides seven directives for companies to shift their focus more toward maximizing customer lifetime value and customer equity rather than just brand equity.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
