RMNs represent a significant and necessary revenue stream for retailers, and suppliers' demand for better products, performance, and greater transparency is being heard. To capitalize, RMNs must deliver what we as marketers need. #kwg #communicationsagency #measurablydeeperconnections

Understanding consumer behavior is increasingly important. This article provides some valuable insights.

I'm grateful to @The Grocer for allowing me to highlight a personal and professional priority: embracing neurodiversity. As a father to a son with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I often ponder how neurodiversity shapes workplace and consumer experiences.   One in seven people in the UK are neurodivergent, and we need to remember this to understand our consumers. At Britvic, we recognised the need for communication with the neurodivergent community and partnered with the The National Autistic Society to launch our Fruit Shoot bottles with a new cap. This partnership supports the autistic community with online materials during the transition of what may seem like a minor change but makes a big difference to our consumers.    Taking an inclusive approach to customer experience has multiple mutual benefits to explore and extend into workforces. Enabling neurodiverse individuals to thrive by creating supportive workplaces can help brands create messaging and products that resonate with all consumers.    The future lies in embracing, not avoiding, difference. I hope this mindset spreads across our industry and soon becomes common practice.   Read more on the Grocer’s website: https://lnkd.in/ekR9Jz_f 

I've always been fascinated by consumer behaviors, and what drives them to buy. After visiting several outdoor global retailers, (multi door, chain and independents) the common denominator for those who stood out was a keen understanding of their customers, managing and watching sell out data. Good retailers know how to pivot during challenges, retain customers while attracting newcomers seeking an experience. People crave human contact and interaction no matter where they come from. Enhancing their shopping experience is key. Niche and independent stores have a pulse on consumer behaviors.

Dollar Tree, Inc 4Q23: Plans to Close 1,000 Stores Dollar Tree Inc. plans to close 600 Family Dollar stores during 1H24 and an additional 370 Family Dollar & 30 Dollar Tree stores at the end of their lease terms (8,415 Dollar Tree stores at the end of 4Q). While this means $730MM less in annual revenues, it is expected to boost its annual EPS by $0.30. Management noted that persistent inflation and reduced government benefits continue to pressure the lower-income consumers that comprise a sizable portion of Family Dollar’s customer base. Accordingly, Family Dollar’s discretionary comp declined by more than -12% y/y during the quarter.
