Product Availability.pptx availability of product in the market plays a vital role in services marketing
1. Product Availability
? The number of units of backup stock , also
called buffer or safety stock , in the model
stock plan determines product availability.
Product availability is defined as the
percentage of the demand for a particular SKU
that is satisfied.
2. Example
? Retailers often classify merchandise
categories or individual SKUs as A, B, or C
items, reflecting the product availability the
retailer wants to offer. The A items are best-
sellers bought by many customers.
3. For example
? White paint is an A item for Sherwin Williams,
and copy paper is an A item for Office Depot.
A retailer rarely wants to risk A-item stockouts
because running out of these very popular
SKUs would diminish the retailer’s brand
image and customer loyalty. On the other
hand, lower product availability is acceptable
for C items, which are purchased by a small
number of customers and are not readily
available from other retailers.
4. Automated Continuous Replenishment
? Once the buyer sets the desired product
availability and de termines the variation in
demand and the vendor’s lead time and fill
rate, the continuous replenishment systems
for staple SKUs can op erate automatically.
5. Inventory Management Report
? The inventory management report pro vides
information about the inventory management for
a staple category. The re port indicates the
decision variables set by the buyer, such as
product availability, the backup stock needed to
provide the product availability, the order points
and quantities plus performance measures such
as planned and actual inventory turn over, the
current sales rate or velocity, sales forecasts,
inventory availability, and the amount on order.
6. ALLOCATING MERCHANDISE TO
STORES
? Allocating merchandise to stores involves
three decisions:
? (1) how much merchandise to allocate to each
store,
? (2) what type of merchandise to allocate, and
? (3) when to allocate the merchandise to
different stores.
7. ANALYZING MERCHANDISE
MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE
? A sell-through analysis compares actual and
planned sales to determine whether more
merchandise is needed to satisfy demand or
whether price reductions (mark downs) are
required.
8. SETTING RETAIL PRICES
? Setting Prices Based on Costs
? Retail price = Cost of merchandise + Markup
9. Coupons
? Coupons offer a discount on the price of
specific items when they’re purchased.
? Coupons are issued by manufacturers and
retailers in news papers, on products, on the
shelf, at the cash register, over the Internet
and mobile devices, and through the mail.
10. ? Retailers use coupons because they are
thought to induce customers to try products
for the first time, convert first-time users to
regular users, encourage large purchases,
increase usage, instill loyalty, and protect
market share against the competition.
11. Price Bundling
? Price bundling is the practice of offering two
or more different products or services for sale
at one price.
12. Example
? McDonald’s
offers a bundle
of a sandwich,
French fries, and
a soft drink in a
Value Meal at a
discount
compared with
buying the items
individually.
14. Integrated marketing communication
program
? Integrate a variety of communication
elements to deliver a comprehensive,
consistent message to all customers over
time, across all elements of their retail mix
and across all delivery channels.
15. For example
? Chili’s Grill and Bar Restaurants uses
traditional media—television, radio, and
billboards.
16. Example
? But its customers can also go to Chilis.com to
find restaurant locations and place an order.
? It also communicates with its customers on
Facebook and Twitter, but believes its most
effective Internet-based communication tool
is through the Chili’s opt-in e-mail list.
17. ? For any communications campaign to
succeed, the retailer must deliver the right
message to the right audience through the
right media at the right time, with the
ultimate goal of profiting from long-term
customer relationships, as well as short term
sales.
20. Sales Promotions
? Sales promotions are special incentives or
excitement-building programs that encourage
consumers to purchase a particular product or
service.
21. ? Coupons
? Rebates
? Premiums - A premium offers an item for free
or at a bargain price to reward some type of
behavior, such as buying
23. Personal Selling
? Personal selling is a communication process in
which sales associates help customers satisfy
their needs through face-to-face exchanges of
information.
24. Public Relations
? Public relations (PR) involves managing
communications and relationships to achieve
various objectives, such as building and
maintaining a positive image of the retailer,
handling or heading off unfavorable stories or
events, and maintaining positive relationships
with the media.
25. Online Media
? Websites
? E-mail
? Mobile Communications
? Social Media
? YouTube
? Facebook
? Blogs
