𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 The common practice in retail is to sell goods below cost to attract customers. Typically, these are items in the Fresh or Ultra Fresh categories, which cannot be purchased in large quantities and which guarantee that the customers will come back within a few days. For example, at Costco, the cost of a hot dog has remained unchanged for 38 consecutive years - $1.50, whether in 1985 or in 2023. However, considering inflation, the cost of a hot dog now should be $4.08. However, the retail chain offsets such costs by increasing the prices of other items. For instance, the annual membership fee for a Costco card during the same period has increased from $25 to $60 (and for a cashback card - up to $120). #marketing #promo #categorymanagement #groceryretail #pricing

**Definition:** "Weekly Specials" are promotional offers or discounts on certain items that a supermarket provides for a specific week.

An early Easter could ‘cost’ retailers $1.6 billion in ‘lost’ sales. Why? Well, it’s partly because Easter candy is an elastic category. The later Easter falls, the more people tend to buy – because many purchase treats early, consume them, and then buy some more. When Easter falls earlier, that selling window is shorter and consumption falls. This year, consumer finances are also under more pressure which means a slight trimming at the margins of spending. Both things will weigh down on spending this year. Still, Easter sales will top $22 billion this year, so it remains a significant opportunity for retailers.

So shopping for boneless skinless chicken thighs this past week for an event (I needed 80 Lbs, in addition to 145 Lbs of bone-in Butts). Sam’s Club which is supposed to offer good deals to vendors like me had them at $3.48 per Lb. Same as Walmart (store brand). Restaurant Depot had them for $1.78 per Lb. (40 Lb boxes). The Boston Butts were $1.98 per Lb at Sam’s (even higher at Walmart) but got them for $1.29 per Lb on special at Harris Teeter and a few of $0.99 per Lb with e-VIC membership. The best everyday price for Butts is Restaurant Depot usually around $1.59 per Lb. for when I can’t find them on a sale. PS- cancelling my Costco membership because they don’t carry what I need (only boneless butts which I hate to use and no longer carry Prime briskets) or prices too high on the few items I can use. Thankfully I have apps for stores like HT and Food Lion to show me when sales occur. It’s a jungle out there folks, shopping for best prices. The same with all the other commodities I use in my small business. Yes, prices are up but do your homework before you shop. Let’s fight inflated inflation.

What are DARK STORES? - (and how they are impacting Quick delivery competition?) In My opinion- Stores where, rather than you are going and buying a chocolate of Rs10, you are paying Rs15. to a kid (delivery boy) to go to a shop (Dark store) and bring the chocolate for you. Imagine now there are so many dark stores for quick delivery of 10 minutes, and if there would be a lot of them (near our houses) in future for quicker delivery, why those cannot be converted as real shops, and people can just go there and buy, rather than asking a delivery boy to go and pick up things for you. #blinkit #instamarketing #Quickstores

If ever you need an anecdote that a substantial number of shoppers love treasure hunts, and even a small-format store can deliver retail theater, check out what Aldi does in its center aisle. It's a bit of retailing genius if you ask me. There's a dopamine hit triggered in our reptilian brains for successful treasure hunt excursions, especially if it requires some cunning planning and effort. While most retailers obsess over reducing friction, overcoming a little bit of friction is part of the hunter-gatherer reward system hardwired into our basic desires. The article also gives a nod to the paradox of choice. Worth a read.

A recent article from CNN about Aldi and how this center of store bargain aisle is drawing customers was quite interesting. I admit that I don't shop there (too far from me) so I quickly jumped into the Catalytics ad tracking database and saw some amazing deals. As you can see these advertised deals really draw traffic! #cpg #categorymanagement #cpgsales #shopperinsights https://lnkd.in/e_vprBCG
