With the shift in the end customers demographics, it would be wise for Stihl to consider alternative strategies to supplement their current reliance on independent specialty dealers. A company must always address who the end customer is, when you forget or choose to ignore who the customer is, then you tend to not be able to reach them. The marketing mix (product, price, placement, and promotion) has to be in tune with who the end customer is and what their economic situation might be. The case breaks down the changes or shift in demographics in the form of predictables and unpredictibles.

There is a threat of bargaining power of buyers as there is a lot of competitors, which give the choice to convert from one chain to another. Moreover, chains are working strongly in the promotion, price, opening branches everywhere, developing the product, and cares regarding quality. It

That being said, suppliers can have some power in regards to choosing the number of stores where their product can be purchased at. This allows the suppliers to regulate their sales and stay away from the “red tape”. The bargaining power of customers impacts HBC as customers are able to influence pricing based on their buying habits. Of course, customers do not choose the retail prices offered to them, however, if inexpensive clothing were to lead the industry, retail stores would adapt to this consumer demand and offer an abundance of inexpensive clothing due to consumer preferences. These forces lead to rivalry among competitors due to the many options offered to consumers to grant their desires. These forces combine to cause strategic implications for HBC. HBC must differentiate itself from its competitors who, similar to HBC, have large annual revenue, strong and profitable supplier agreements and large amounts of capital. As well, due to competitors large sale volumes, competitive pricing is an implication which faces

Rapid growth seems to be a blessing. However, it depends on the company’s ability how they deal with it. The holiday season of 2009 showed the company’s inability to handle the orders that it received. Orders were not sent on time. Moreover, it delivered wrong order at times. To make the matters worse, the company was totally unable to fill some orders at all. This customer dissatisfaction might adversely

Access granted to a huge market having in mind that retail chains are more and more developing in to the first choice of customers in terms of shopping

Potential entry of new competitors is rendered low for the grocery retailing industry. Puregold, SM Hypermarkets, Rustans, and Robinsons Supermarkets are amongst the top key players in the game. The entry of new competitors could be very low because of the huge capitalization funds that this industry requires. In addition, the industry has been long time dominated by the giant players that had already well established and positioned their brands throughout the country and that they had already spread out with branches in Metro Manila and other regions.

When you ask an average American about a wholesale dealer, one name stands out, Costco Wholessale Corp. They are one of the biggest wholesale corporation in US. That is very impressive considering they have only been in the industry for about 30 years. They are member based and provide quality goods and services to member only. Their members not just every day people but people who run small business so not only customers buy their product but sell them to others in their own stores as well. While their competitor, Wal-Mart, looks to provide lowest price but inlike Costco’s they overlook the quality. While BJ tries to look pretty to their customer, Costco pay less

In 1996 sales to this class of customer at a 30% markup represents $11,975,040 margin for Tweeter, $16,917,120 margin for Lechmere and $13,258,080 margin for Circuit City. This is an important source of margin for the Superstores, however represents only 10% and 15% of their overall sales respectively. So I believe that they will fight to keep their customers rather than fight to gain

Hi Prof. Kerich, Based on Porters five forces analysis, the possibility of new entrants plays a very important role in the dynamics of competition and therefore impacts the market price and the profitability especially due to the redistribution of the market share and revenue. The barriers to the new entrants are generally influenced by the multiple conditions such as substantial product differentiation, economics of scale, supply chain, distribution network, other cost advantage, substantial cost of switching of market exit etc. Although the product differentiation is a major factor in the conditions among the barriers to entry, however, with the continuous innovation in the RTD industry, there are multiple new entrants in the market who has competitive advantage on the changing consumer preference and there by poses a little threat to the switching cost. For example, the new brand Little Me Tea marketed by GA based Big Time Tea markets the product as a healthier product with only 6 grams of sugar per juice box which is 30% lower than its closest competitor and hence has generated 60% growth in last two years due to a significant competitive advantage based on product differentiation in the niche market (Heneghan, 2015). Since Honest Tea has an established brand image as a premier brand in the market, the company can possible look at the following options in order to create a barriers to new entrants:

Suppliers in the industry seek buyers who can move a lot of merchandise in a short period of time. The threat of substitution is a big deal in this industry. Most retail stores carry the same types of products with little differentiation. This makes it difficult for companies in this industry to keep customers coming back. This places an emphasis on the need to build a good reputation with customers.

TI is aware that its customers depend on the company to assist them innovate and get to market first. The company, therefore, drive toward

Tesco had to adapt to the local requirements, offering new solutions to previously recognized issues, by combining centralized purchasing and working with local suppliers, Tesco achieved economies of scale and transfer the benefit it to its customers in its express outlets. It actively engaged in creating a favorable environment in various markets; from bringing its UK based suppliers to USA and setting up in DC to engaging in Thailand with local community to explain the benefits of its value chain.
