The document discusses how shopping has shifted from being primarily a necessity to a leisure activity. It traces this shift from traditional bazaars, which served necessary shopping needs, to modern shopping malls, which have become popular social hangout places. While initially serving only shopping needs, malls now offer cafes, restaurants, and entertainment venues, transforming shopping into an activity people engage in for fun and relaxation rather than just for essential goods. The document also examines differences in how men and women approach shopping and explores trends like brand loyalty and online shopping.

This document discusses various aspects of retailing including:
- Retailing involves all activities related to selling goods and services directly to consumers for personal use. Shopping provides both necessities and entertainment.
- Retailers must select target markets and position themselves competitively through their merchandise, prices, and store atmospheres. Location is also important for retailer success.
- Retailers are increasingly using omnichannel strategies, engaging consumers through both physical and digital stores, to provide shopping convenience and build customer loyalty. Effective use of mobile and social media is also key to reaching online audiences.

Converting Opportunities into Sales | Understanding the Common BarriersAdam Wiggins
These are the slides from sales guru Dean Mannix's webinar on Converting Opportunities into Sales. You can view the recording of the webinar at www.salesitv.com/webinars
We’re in a new era of retail where major shifts in consumer behaviour is changing the way brands need to engage. The pace of this change is having a profound effect on ‘traditional’ retail models and the department store is regularly highlighted as under threat whenever anyone thinks about the next casualty.
Why should that be, is there a long-term future for these businesses and what might that look like?
Here we explore some of the potential routes and strategies available.
The document discusses how the real estate market has changed significantly since the recession due to fewer buyers, tougher loan qualifications, and new technology/regulations. It introduces the guide "Fun to Sell - Easy to Buy" which aims to help sellers gain more control and understanding of marketing their home in this new environment. The guide is based on marketing principles that have worked in other industries and will show sellers how to enhance and position their home, price it optimally, prepare it for viewings, and attract likely buyers through compelling copy and visuals.
The document provides tips for beginner traders from Universal Trading & Training Academy. It outlines the academy's beliefs, aims, vision and mission to inspire people in trading and help them gain financial independence. It then lists several tips for beginners, including to practice trading without real money first, learn from mistakes, exercise discipline, limit losses, and ensure day trading remains fun or consider other activities. The overall message is that becoming a successful day trader takes time, practice, and following a rational trading plan with patience and perseverance.
Creating better CX to increase customer loyalty Nic Tinworth 田尼克
It's not enough to expect your customers to react to traditional stamp or points-based loyalty programs anymore. Now, more than ever, you must consider the entire customer journey and what customer motivations and pain points you should address along it to maximise the emotional connection.
This document discusses markets and demand. It defines a market as the process where buyers and sellers exchange goods and services. Markets can be local, like the housing market, or global, like markets for automobiles or gold. The key aspect of a market is that it facilitates trade. Demand is defined by the law of demand - as the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa. This inverse relationship exists because consumers will buy more of a good when its price decreases. The document discusses factors that can shift the demand curve for a good, including changes in income, the prices of related goods, the number of buyers, tastes, and expectations.
This document provides an outline and overview of key topics in chapter 16, which examines marketing intermediaries such as retailers, wholesalers, and logistics organizations. It discusses the major types of retailers including store retailers like department stores and non-store retailers. It also summarizes the major trends in retailing such as new retail forms combining different store types and growing competition between different retail formats.
The document discusses top ways for retailers to convert more sales in stores during the peak holiday season. It identifies five best practices: 1) allowing customers to buy online and pick up in stores, 2) enabling "save the sale" functions in stores for out-of-stock items, 3) expanding endless aisle capabilities, 4) providing visibility to global inventory availability, and 5) increasing associate engagement through customer insights. The webinar promotes the Escalate solution as an all-channel commerce platform that can help retailers implement these practices across all customer touchpoints including web, mobile, in-store kiosks, and store associates.
In the current economic climate, the margin between success and failure is slim, and pulling a few key levers could easily mean the difference between comp stores swinging from positive to negative. With only a few weeks before Black Friday, retailers are urged to register for this webinar to tune up their cross-channel strategies to drive more store traffic and convert more sales. The webinar will offer insights into the follow 5 areas:
1) Cross Channel Buy, Pickup In-store: Whether it is from the online channel, the mobile web or a catalog, consumers now expect the convenience of picking up that item at their local store location.
2) In-Store Save the Sale: Using in-store kiosks and mobile apps connected to the e-commerce engine, retailers are avoiding out of stocks and enabling self-service scenarios.
3) Increasing the Relevance of Associate Engagement: By providing access to wish lists, buying history and recommendations, retailers are bringing service functions traditionally found online into the store.
4) Expanding Endless Aisle Capabilities at the Store Level: The ability to capture orders for an expanded assortment of products, without having to stock the inventory in every store, is emerging as a key competitive differentiator.
5) Global Inventory Availability: Providing the ability to check inventory availability across other local stores and account for dynamic changes across systems and locations.

Ian Berry provides advice and resources to help business leaders become effective change champions. He believes that people should come before profit, that culture and leadership are most important for change, and that personal change must come before organizational change. Berry recommends focusing on reasons, rituals and relationships to drive results, and emphasizes the importance of maverick thinking, enhancing gifts, shared understanding, candor, storytelling, appreciation and accountability.
This document discusses how brands should focus on people rather than products or logos. It argues that a brand is defined by how people feel about it rather than what the brand says it is. It also notes that people and technology are constantly changing, so brands must follow these changes. The document provides tips for brands to connect with people, including finding their target audience, understanding behaviors and cultural tensions, defining a purpose beyond selling, and creating meaningful acts instead of just advertisements.
Thanks to the broad proliferation of digital channels such as email, text, chat, display ads, paid search ads, social media, ecommerce and website interactions, your customer's buying process has grown to be highly complex. Before making a purchase decision, a prospective customer will engage numerous times with your brand and your people through many different channels - sometimes over many days, weeks, and months. And, after the decision is made, the fun really begins. Empowered with digital media channels of their own, customers can become your greatest advocates or your worst nightmare. So, how are you responding?
The document provides guidance on how to write effective marketing copy. It discusses conducting research to deeply understand prospective customers, including their behaviors online and the problems they face. The presentation emphasizes listening to customers, creating relevant content for interested communities, discussing the content to generate engagement, promoting content respectfully through social networks, and measuring the results of engagement efforts. It also recommends auditing the benefits of what is being sold and analyzing those benefits to identify advantages, motivations, and favorable experiences customers will gain.

How many of you all think that shopping is an exclusively a girl thing?Why do you think so?When was the last time you went shopping? What did you buy?How many pair of shoes/headphones/ tech related gadgets do you own?Is’nt that all considered to be shopping?
Because guys are goal orientated. they focus on purchasing the item. Women however are process orientated. Their concern is finding the item or the deal and therefore they must see every item. Girls like to do it in groups or maybe even a single companion. They need to know the opinion of others. Guys like to do it alone. Its their alone time experience. Go out on your own, take your time, learn the product, buy it. Add it to the collection. A couple of decades ago, the stereotypical man of the house unwound from a hard day by watching a game with a glass of something on ice. His wife? She went shopping. But whether it's because ads for moisturizer now target men or because stores have started serving them snifters of brandy while they get fitted for shirts, guys are rewarding themselves in a way they never used to: by taking out their credit cards.
No matter if you buy cheap stuff or expensive stuff, you have that special feeling when you buy something new, no matter if you actually need that thing or not. But that feeling can't be replaced by anything.Like other addictions, shopping fills some kind of void. "Going out and buying a whole bunch of stuff makes you feel better about yourself. The feeling of carrying shopping bags give you some sort of pleasure.
