Is Spirit Halloween’s Business Model Scary Good? Spirit Halloween, by all accounts the most successful pop-up in retail history, is again ramping up seasonal hiring in apparent expectation of another record year. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eK2UFgwp Pamela Kaplan "This business model works so well for Spirit because they know who they are and they know who their customer is. I love that they stay true to their core and go big with managing inventory and real estate during a tight window." Jeff Sward "Sure, the strategy and tactics are smart. But it’s the supply chain partnerships built over the years that make it all possible. They have learned how to scale. What might have been easy with a handful of stores has grown into a model that supports 1500 stores. Their execution at scale is to be heartily applauded." Neil Saunders "As the stores are only temporary, Spirit Halloween doesn’t have to pay too much attention to things like flooring and construction, which are usually very time consuming when opening new shops. The approach store take is cookie cutter in that they all look alike, have similar ranges and similar operating models. This keeps things simple and the emphasis on efficiency."

JCPenney's Pricing Shift Shows How Honesty Can Backfire 😲 Pricing strategy can make or break a business. JCPenney's 2011 experiment with eliminating charm pricing (e.g., $99.99) in favor of rounded numbers like $100 led to a surprising 25% drop in sales. The intent was to create transparency, but the outcome was a costly lesson. #business #marketing #pricingstrategy

Macy’s Inc. has a new turnaround strategy that excited Wall Street, but the department store is recycling an old turnaround strategy that smacks of desperation to keep the idea of the American middle class — and upward mobility — alive, writes Leticia Miranda for Bloomberg Opinion. Over the last half a century, the middle class has tumbled and taken Macy’s down with it. Decades of fiscal policy, recessions and inflation all combined to hollow out middle America. Middle-class incomes have grown at a slower pace than higher-income households, resulting in a wider wealth gap. At the same time, consumer trends splintered along economic lines. Pinched shoppers shifted their spending to off-price stores such as T.J. Maxx, while well-off ones went higher up the value chain toward luxury brands.  #retail #shopping #middleclass #money #economy https://lnkd.in/dNJK25ER
