NEW TRENDS IN RETAILING

In past years retailers in North America have sounded a consistent theme: Bigger is better. Superstores increased in number and spread rapidly, often at the expense of smaller, family-owned retail stores. Today these superstores are more than 50 percent larger than in the 1980's and can be over 30,000 square meters in size.

But small retail stores are now making a comeback. Many of the largest retailers have begun experimenting with small-store formats. Rather than operating the small stores as separate outlets, though, the companies are managing all the stores in an area together as a closely knit network. By distributing small outlets throughout an area, a retailer can guarantee that one of them will almost always be closer to a given shopper than the superstore at the edge of town. Moreover, small stores are often located within walking distance of public transportation, and, once inside, customers can easily find the products they are looking for.

One advantage of the big stores has been the variety of products they are able to carry because they are so large. One way that has been found to increase variety in small stores is to use electronic kiosks for online shopping. Although the number of products in the stores is small, there are enough actual items to inform. customers about the range and quality of products. Customers are then offered computer access to a Web site that provides the full product line.

With regard to costs, small stores that are managed as networks have become as inexpensive to operate as superstores. By combining the orders of these stores, for instance, retailers can take advantage of the full-truckload delivery price rather than incur the higher cost of partial truckload deliveries.

What is implied about the kind of stores preferred by customers in North America？

A．They have many products made by the same manufacturer.

B．They have many sales during the year.

C．They carry many different kinds of products.

D．They sell famous brands of electronics equipment.

When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label (标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.

However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat ,or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.

This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.

The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren't expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.

To develop a marketing strategy begins with identifying and analyzing a target market.

This step (144) listing common characteristics of the group of people the seller wants to reach. Suppose a company wants to sell an electronic device to teenagers.

W: Well, C. K. or Calvin Klein, is really divided up between two worlds--the Calvin Klein Luxury Business which we call the (22) "Collection" which is the best, the most expensive, luxurious products. And the world of C..K. which is really inspired by generation acts. (23) It's targeted to the younger people, to people who are more concerned about value, price, style. And the audience is much broader.

M: You are planning a fairly major assault on the Asian market. How did you set up？

W: Well, we set up an Asian company; we set up a Japanese company--Calvin Klein Japan, and Calvin Klein Asia. (24) People who open up retail stores will distribute our products to other retail stores, and set up" ship in shop" concepts, distribute Jeans more broadly, underwear and various other products that we make. And that's really exciting.

M: What does this mean though for your existing business relationships in Asia？

W: (25) Isetan is one of our partners in the Japanese companies, as Mitsui is one of our partners. There is a group of some of the best business partners that we could have, who together understand what the mission is, and to really take full advantage of the opportunities that are there in Japan and Southeast Asia for us. And we're doing the same in Europe. The plan is to globalize, you know. And we are doing, we are mirroring the same strategy in Europe as in Asia.

B．The most practical clothes for the old and the young.

W: Well, it's a job which requires a sense of responsibility and independence, since the person selected will be running, at the start at any rate, will be running ten stores with about 100 staff.

M: And with the possibility of expanding to 15 stores and 150 staff.

W: Right. So there's plenty of scope for initiative and energy... and of course, hard work.

M: So at the moment we're looking for someone who's responsible, independent, dynamic, hardworking and has initiative...

W: That's it. But also someone who is able to deal with upwards of a 100 or a 150 staff.

M: So someone sensitive, tactful and articulate. Wait a minute, why does it have to be a man？

W: Sorry, he or she... Yes, OK, so this is very much a job requiring people skills, so I'd personally like to see someone who's had quite a lot of experience as a team leader.

M: OK. Now, this is a retail job — and a pretty high-powered one at that — so I guess we want someone with a certain amount of retail experience.

W: Absolutely, and not just a certain amount, either. Whoever we chose should have a substantial amount of experience in retailing.

M: Just a minute, what do you mean by "a substantial amount"？ Five, ten, 20 years？

W: Well, I think he — sorry, he or she — would have to be at least 30.

M: Yeah, OK. So we'll put in the advertisement "proven track record as a retail manager".
