Macy’s target market is women of ages nineteen to thirty years old (Lutz). This company is taking great lengths to shifting their customer base to a younger generation. These targeted customers are the baby boomers. One of Macy’s big new lines is branded with Marilyn Monroe, which is a baby boomer icon. A theme that could benefit these baby boomers is having an all-white store, meaning white floors, white furniture, a white chandelier, etc. A creative resource that could benefit the store could be graphic design. Graphic design could be used to make Marilyn Monroe three dimensional pictures with a splash of color for the store. Some other creative resources that Macy’s could utilize is playing fifties music and signs. Macy’s would benefit having music playing in the store that reflects the fifties in a glam and chic way. Macy’s could have signs with Marilyn Monroe

When the Tatelman brothers took over the business, they changed their mode of advertising. They realized that by limiting their advertising to newspapers, they were potentially missing out on a whole demographic of people that needed furniture, which would be 18-34 year olds. This demographic was starting to move out on their own, starting families, and needed furniture. By moving from newspapers to funny radio ads and later funny TV ads, Barry and Eliot were able to draw in more customers, especially the demographic they were targeting (Iacobucci, 2013). Before they started to add in the extra shopping experiences, they had customers waiting to get into their third store. Once they added the entertainment portions of the store, they were able to draw in more customers. Even if the customer is only there to take part in the entertainment aspect of the store, which is in the back of every store, they do have to walk through the showroom first. By walking through the showroom a first time customer could see a room design or one piece of furniture that catches their eye. Each customer has a different shopping experience, whether it be at one store or multiple Jordan’s Furniture

Once we have succeeded in our mission to promote shopping locally even more, “for rent/sale” signs and vacant buildings will be a scarcity. In their places will be store fronts with friendly faces there to greet you at the door and help you find just what you were looking for, whether it be for yourself or someone you love. Main Street will be buzzing with activity. Shoppers will be carrying around their purchases in colorful bags, enjoying a conversation with their close friends and family, and experiencing just what Pratt was missing; the feeling of community. And with all of the fun and exciting events, they will remember the joys of shopping rather than the hassle it can cause.

However, many of these companies fail to realize that not everyone cares about the appearance of the store employees, they care more about the service that they are receiving. Antonio Serrano, a former assistant Abercrombie store manager, states that, ''If someone came in with a pretty face, we were told to approach them and ask them if they wanted a job.” Serrano also states that if the person had no previous retail experience, they were told to hire them

Cathleen knows the truth. She started working at her local A&P two weeks ago, and initially thought the letters stood for Atlantic and Pacific. After all, that’s what everyone told her it stood for. However, she quickly learned what the store really stands for: Appearances and procedures. The ‘appearances’ is because that is all that the male employees care about.
