Many issues a company runs into when expanding their products is supply and demand. When beginning the expanding process they may run into an issue of too much supply and not enough demand or vice versa. Consumers' view of Amazon.com may change and their business with the company may also change, either for the better or worse.\n\nIf a company expands their product line for items consumers are not ready for, it may result in losses. A great example is HomeGrocer.com.\n\nWhen HomeGrocer.com originally came into the business scene, you couldn't turn the corner without seeing one of their trucks driving down the street, but the industry wasn't ready for home grocery delivery and they soon fell into the black hole of companys available but not widely used.\n\nThere are many other issues Amazon.com may run into.

7 Eleven competes in a mature market. They marketing strategy is mostly geographic and convience. Meaning they sell a variety of goods a person might needs on short notice and don't want to travel far to obtain. For this convenience they pay a premium price.

That is a broad question but perhaps it means what market a certain item/product can be classified as?  That's my self-explanatory answer.

The quantity you would order to stock your store with just the right amount of inventory so you don't run out, and you don't require added variable costs to store it somewhere else or take space away from other products or retail space. You should also factor in discounts, freight, etc.

Information is the backbone of all businesses.  If it is not organized in the optimum format, the business will not do well.  If the business objective is to attract new customers, their systems will have to process new customers quickly to seem more efficient than the competition.

Warranties are between company and consumer, there is no reason to rely this material to the merchant more than one time. That time being when a merchant chooses to carry that product.

The nature of the evolving economy is to continuously remove those people or entities which don't add value through incessant competition - a race to the bottom.  Those "middle-men" need to examine their situation carefully and work out whether:\n\na) they add enough value to be safe from their customers AND their suppliers\nb) they could start to add enough value\nc) they could change their relationship with their suppliers in a way that safeguards their role\nd) they should get out while the getting's good\n\nMy parents owned an independent record store.  They added a lot of value to their customers through ordering, advice, calling them when something new came out which would interest them, etc.  But that only concerned a minority of loyal customers, and they saw the Internet coming and retired while they could.  The people who took over the shop found it folded within two years, partly through increased competition, but partly because they stopped adding that extra value which kept my parents afloat.\n\nIn my industry (IT), resellers are increasingly being squeezed and their role called into question.  My company is now starting to deal direct with customers, despite a long history working with channel partners.  It makes no sense for our sales reps to work for months at a multi-million-dollar corporate sale, and then ask a reseller to take a commission on that sale when we've done all the work.  However, we've traditionally relied on our resellers to perform the installation work as well.  And our delivery mechanisms are fine when the customer doesn't mind when their material arrives (e.g. PCs), but if it's a fleet of printers or servers which needs an installer to arrive at the same time, we get into the issue of staging.  Therefore there could still be a role for resellers to provide staging facilities local to customer sites, and then transport equipment to the final customer sites and perform the installation.  The material just wouldn't go through their books.  This is more in the line of (c) above, and there is money to be made by doing this.\n\nI hope these examples can spark thoughts of how, in your industry, you can find a way of adding value which might be slightly different from what you do today, but which can keep you in business.

This would be an extremely beneficial exercise to everyone. In the first place, the reason you are in business is because of the customer. Those on the front line understand that. Those supporting the front line sometimes have no grasp of how their piece of the puzzle fits and how important their job is, really. At the very least this would give more knowledge to the non-customer service employee and a far better understanding of how to support the front line and the extremely valuable customer.Knowledge is power and sometimes motivation to excel.

hmmmm....\n1) some retail staff are being trained to 'hard sell' their products, as they have a daily target to meet.\n2) when products are lost, the retail staff have to compensate for it.\n\nhence they tend to be over- vigilant towards their customers.\n\nhowever, i believe that this 'trend', that you highlighted, is outdated. usually, every retail store has its training program on 'good customer service'.\nadmittedly, some customers prefer to be left alone while they browse around. so, it takes practice for the retail staff to 'analyse' what type of service their indivdual customers prefer.\n\nas for me, the training i include for my staff is to always greet the customers, & stand aside, & be watchful of the customers, in case they need assistance. if the customers are chatty, then continue with the conversations. otherwise, stand aside & observe.

It's when a firm, by being there, is good for others.  A commercial building might increase the value of the residential buildings around it because it's more convenient to have a close-by place to shop.

There are systems where you don´t buy the machine, they just put it in your store, refill it and you get a small comission for every product sold.  I think that´s a better business.

It could cause people to stop buying a certain product, or stop buying as much of it. This could decrease the demand for one item and increase the demand for secondary alternate items that aren't as pricey. This also means that there could be a shortage of the other items that people are now flocking to because of how nobody will want to spend the money on anything else.
