For this growing population, we can track the merchandises and find out what kind of items the customers spend money on.

We send e-mails to the customers when getting new items that fit the customer’s dress preference with style suggestions.

Marshall Field’s designed a personal shopper assistance program called Tip to Toe shop (107). These assistances helped put together an entire outfit, with pieces collected throughout the store (107). Shoppers didn’t even have to be in the store to benefit from this program (107). One customer was so pleased with her shipped ensemble, that she invited her personal shopper to her husband’s inaugural ball (107). The staff would also help customers with a short budget, find good quality attire that was not couture (105). In result, shoppers benefitted largely from the staff at Marshall

Target products are appealing to the consumers because they look expensive but the products are very affordable. It is important for an organization to specify the products and services based on what the customers’ needs and wants are. This would help Target gain a competitive advantage over other retailers. The majority of Target’s customers are women and teenagers. So, the stores have bright and appealing items that would make the customers purchase the materials. Target offer clothing and even power tools catered to women.

Retailers should spend a great deal of time and money on store environments to create images that offer them a competitive advantage in a crowded marketplace (Joyce & Lambert, 1996 , pp.24-33). Thus, store needs to improve in this area so that it can give better environment and experience to the customers in order to differentiate from the competitors. As per Kerfoot et al (2003, pp.14352) as furniture being a part of visual merchandising, an attractive furniture has positive affect on customer’s psychology or behavior, which ultimately leads to purchase. By evaluating the

Target Corporation is an American retailing company that uses various retail formats that range from low-end to high-end items. It was founded in 1902 by George Draper Dayton. It is now the fourth largest retailer in the United States and operates almost 1600 stores in 47 states (Funding Universe, 2004). Target differentiate themselves by other competitors by offering consumers fashion products and grocery at affordable prices, that drags the customers into purchasing more. A typical Target store averages from 145,000 square ft by 126,000 square ft. (Funding Universe, 2004). The stores are spacious, with a display of a grid format, which concludes in consumers shopping for items that are put on long gondolas so less space would be wasted.

The women's apparel market is highly competitive. With the launch of a new active-wear line from Harrington Collection's, more and more competitors will start to realise the potential value in in producing an active-wear line of their own. The active-wear market is growing so rapidly (expected to double turnover from 2007 to 2009), that eventually all of Harrington's competitors would likely be expected to launch a line of their own, relying on existing brand loyalty and high-scale advertising campaigns to capture market share and move units.

As I walked through the open doors of Lululemon the smell of crisp clean cotton fragrance repealed off the neatly folded clothes. Looking around each item has a purposeful place. The running clothes hung in the right corner of the store and the yoga mats perfectly rolled and stacked like a pyramid. The soft golden lights evenly illuminating the merchandise. Thoughtfully placed and complementing themed fixtures to enhance the calming environment and catch the eye of the shopper.

We feel that it would have been easier to shop if all leggings styles were next to each other, all tank top styles were next to each other, all sports bras next to each other, and so on. We found the same exact pair of leggings on two different sides of the section. This could keep a customer from finding an appropriate size, which could result in Target losing a sale. Thus, although the active wear section itself was very easy to find, making shopability easy, the styles of clothing themselves were very spread out making shopability difficult. Therefore, we believe Target deserves a grade of a three for this topic, as it isn’t terrible but definitely could be improved.

I walk into the mall, and barely contain my excitement as I march directly over to my favorite store. Hot Topic. I look around and see absolute heaven. My favorite song begins to play on the radio; there is dyed hair and band tees every which way. Where do I begin? Hi, I’m Chloe Pelshaw, a student in the 8th grade at Silver Hills Middle School. Over the years more people have discovered this astounding store. Although, with these new customers comes two new problems. Space and organization. Ways you could improve these issues are expanding your stores and making the products more organized.

So, when I first read this discussion post assignment I immediately thought of the time I worked at J.C.Penney’s. At that current time JCPenney was developing a launch of a new brand of intimates for women “Ambrielle”. The store/department managers needed help figuring out how to launch this is our store (making the public “aware”). I remember that we thought about placement, which doors were the best for people to see it? What kind of racks and wall space did we want to use to display the new merchandise? We also received lots of signage for Ambrielle, so we had to figure out placement for that also. To peek peoples interest we launch a free “bra fitting” in that department the week of the opening of Ambrielle. We knew that JCPenney had a

Due to the sudden arrival of e-commerce, brick-and-mortar businesses look for solutions to optimize the customers store shopping experience. J. Crew, 5th Avenue location was very efficient in engaging the customer. The store has a diverse product assortment, and diligent customer service. Because, the store visual presentation is curated to be clutter free, navigating through the sales floor in order to located merchandise is quite easy. A noticeable aspect of this particular store is the layout which resemble a showroom (see Exhibit C, shows pictures of the store). Although, the overall experience was pleasant – the store lacks the usages of technology. Unlike, competitors which have already incorporate programs like RFID and augmented reality

The purpose of this paper was to observe the consumers of a retail store of my choice; I chose to observe Victoria’s Secret and Targets consumers, because I myself am consumers of those stores quite often, then to analyze the behavior of the consumers of Victoria’s Secret and Target. Victoria’s Secret and Target consumers differ because of the difference in type of retail they offer and sell. Victoria’s Secret consumers know what they are going to be shopping for women and certain needs or wants they are looking to satisfy. Target consumers shop for any age and any gender,

For many years, the department store and the downtown women 's shop were the mainstays of women 's wear retailing. Department stores offering a vast selection of goods and specialty stores catering to unique tastes dotted the urban landscape. For those with enough money, shopping became a social event. Along with the growth of women 's clothing retailing came the increasing importance of fashion.

Article 1: “How does visual merchandising in fashion retail stores affect consumers’ brand attitude and purchase intention?” by Hyun Hee Park, Jung Ok Jeon & Pauline Sullivan

When people walk in malls, cities and theme parks there they look at a lot of different displays of product for many sellers. What makes a shopper shop at one store compared to another?
