WHERE WILL THEY SHOP?

• Discount• Quality• Specialty

3 TYPES OF STORES

• The DISCOUNT format is based on providing the lowest price.

• This format is primarily PRICE focused. • Price-driven retailers seek to find and

promote the best prices on products they think they can sell.

• Unless a retailer has the buying power of Wal-Mart, either quality of product or margins will often suffer.

• Price-based marketing attracts cherry pickers.

• The QUALITY format is based on providing solutions, value, service and results.

• This marketing is EDUCATION based, seeking to attract the preferred, higher-educated consumer.

• This format is CONSUMER focused. • Quality-driven retailers seek to

determine what their customers need, and provide solutions and benefits to align with these needs.

Specialty• The Specialty format is based on

being really good at something.• Often destination based.• People learn what your specialty

is and refer their friends and family.–Weight Loss–Blood sugar control–Heart Issues

What does this teach us?

•We need to educate•We need to consult•We need to offer options•We need to become

good at something.

•Be a problem finder first…..•Be a problem solver second……
