Scrambled Merchandising
Scrambled merchandising involves
offering several unrelated product lines in
a single store.
Retailing Mix
The retailing mix includes the activities
related to managing the store and the
merchandise in the store, which includes
retail pricing, store location, retail
communication, and merchandise.
Shrinkage
Shrinkage is the breakage and theft of
merchandise by customers and
employees.
Multichannel Retailers
Multichannel retailers utilize and
integrate a combination of traditional
store formats and nonstore formats such
as catalogs, television, and online
retailing.
Retail Life Cycle
The retail life cycle is the process of
growth and decline that retail outlets, like
products, experience, which consists of
the early growth, accelerated
development, maturity, and decline
stages.
Parasites
Parasite stores do not create their own
traffic. They make money based on
their proximity to things that will draw
foot traffic. (bigger stores, train
stations, airports, office buildings, etc.)
Destination Stores
Stores that generate customers from larger
trading areas than their neighbors or
competitors.
i.e.-Dunkin Donuts: Its worth the trip!
Power Centers
Huge shopping strips with multiple
anchors and often a supermarket
Anchor Stores
A large store, such as a department store or
supermarket, that is prominently located in
a shopping mall to attract customers who
are then expected to patronize the other
shops in the mall.
