Sephora Retailing for Success

Topic: Sephora Retailing for Success

Sephora is a French cosmetic retailer that began its American ventures with free trials at their store locations. The “try before you buy” concept is popular among most female customers, leading Sephora to succeed in the traditional retail industry. Now that we are in the digital age, consumers make many purchases online rather than going to physical stores. After reading Chapters 14 and 15 from Babin & Harris, watch the Sephora Retailing for Success video and respond to the following:

Visit the Sephora website and browse the online store. How does Sephora use the online environment to promote its products without the advantage of letting the customers try before they buy?
Imagine that Sephora is working out the details of a new loyalty program. What input and advice would you give them? How should they integrate the loyalty program with their existing retailing mix?
What are the cognitive and affective components that may shape postconsumption behavior for Sephora’s customers?
What is 1 way that a firm can respond to negative WOM or publicity? How does this response align with or contradict a biblical worldview?

Walmart is a good organization to examine.

Your paper requires work.

What are you trying to state in pages 6 -11? I am not following. The content presented is disorganized. You need to insert headings and sub headings to organize the content.

Your Organizational Relationship section requires more detail.

What is the difference between Organizational Relationships and Organizational Stakeholders? You seem to be repeating certain components of this paper. Decide which of the two you want to address in this paper and remove the other.

There are quite a few arguments and perspectives that are not supported with citations, please address these throughout the paper – just to list a few:

“Walmart is one of the multinational retailing corporation located in the United States. The corporation functions as a chain of grocery store, hypermarket and discount department store. The firm was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton and officially incorporated in October 1969. Moreover, the firm engages in the operation of retail, wholesale and other sections all over the world. It’s the largest world organization by revenue whereby it approximately generated four hundred and eighty billion dollars in 2016. The corporation has eleven thousand six hundred and ninety-five stores all over the world. The main products sold by the corporation include electronics, home and furniture, music, clothing, foot wear, toys, jewelry, sporting goods and fitness, health and beauty, grocery, photo finishing and craft supply”

“Additionally, the firm has the following division. Walmart U.S, Walmart international and Sam’s cub global e-commerce. The firm investment outside North America has met mixed reaction. It has highly succeeded in some parts especially in the United Kingdom, china, and South America though it has failed in Germany and South Korea. Furthermore, the firm operates in major cities over the world, and it has established subsidiaries in the following countries Canada, Mexico, Chiles, Central America and many others.”

“The firm mostly operates online where the customer purchases Walmart products through the online platform. The corporation, therefore, has so many computers that are located in every department. The wife routers also help to connect to the internet easily and therefore the wifi connection equipment are provided in most departments.

Walmart is a corporation that is licensed by the government and operates legally, and thus it has policies and guidelines, which ensure the firm operates ethically and does not violate the rule of law. The firm also protects the customers from harmful products and other living organisms. Sam’s club and Walmart are committed to ensuring they provide the customers with affordable, safe and sustainable food products and promoting human treatment of animals. The firm has improved tracking and audit program for pork chain supply, and the suppliers must meet the program requirements. The firm has developed mineral conflict program that guides on how the firm will operate in mineral product business and the products without violating the human rights especially to Democratic Republic of Congo citizens. The program will guide the electronic suppliers so as to avoid illegal business and thus maintain the corporation image.”

“Walmart is a very prominent firm in the world, which distributes different products to the clients in markets. The firm faces very stiff competition from other firms that are almost similar with Walmart organization. Germany grocer Lidl is one of the competitors giving Walmart challenge. Despite these stiff competitions, Walmart brand image has enabled it to perform well in the market, and many consumers still prefer products from the Walmart. Additionally, the firm is known to provide quality products that meet customers’ needs and therefore the firm has achieved to have loyal clients who they depend on and target all the time especially when they produce a new product. The best planning, financial management, marketing and customer care are some of the determinants that affect the competitive competition in the local market.

The Walmart competitive advantage depends on cost leadership. The firm is committed to ensure that the customer purchases products at the affordable prize and improve the lifestyle of the customer. The firm has also introduced business strategy in the following directions. One of the strategies is improving groceries. Walmart attempts to increase its fresh range produce and organic options. Additionally, the firm has also enhanced the flexibility of the shopping experience, which works to integrate its physical stores with the digital business.”

“Tesco Corporation is a British multinational retailer, grocery stores and general merchandise retailer. It has presence in 11 countries and records a revenue of about $67 billion annually. The grocery store is the major brand of this organization and this is why it is a threat to Walmart stores as that is the brand it is struggling to establish. It is important to note that most consumers do not shop in one store, they tend to think that this store is good for this thing and the other one is good for that other thing. In this case, shopper will shop at Walmart but when they need groceries they will go to Tesco and this has undermined the profit levels in the United Kingdom market and countries where Tesco has a strong presence.”

  • Use  the Internet or Strayer Library to research two to three (2-3) articles  on Standard Oil Co. Inc. and the related vertical integration. Analyze  the rationale for the so called “Trust-busting” Standard Oil apart.  Examine the main advantages and disadvantages of “Trust-busting”.  Support your response.

After  reading about the Standard Oil Co Inc.; I learned that the company was  founded by John D. Rockefeller, a renounced businessman, and a wealthy  man from the United State. The company was an Oil producing, refining  and supply company. It was the largest company of its kind at the time  and endured massive success in the oil business due to the dominance in  manufacture and supply of its product, in other terms called vertical  integration (Fernandes, et.al 2016).

Trust  busting is a strategy employed by the Government to break up  monopolistic system of marketing. This is otherwise known as trust  busting. Standard Oil Company destroyed most of its competing firms  through the integrations (Bogus, et.al 2016). They made it easier for  the standard oil to aggressively price its products so that other  suppliers couldn’t acquire them because of the practice of monopoly.  This raised awareness of the Government which led to total eradication  of monopoly practice. As a result of Government effort, the supreme  court ruled that the monopoly be broken up in the Standard Oil company  and like company such as American Tobacco. The main advantage of the  trust is that company get to grow at a faster rate within a short period  of time. It also encourage open market. It allowed for a short-term  growth. However, it has a limitation; and that’s a lack of competition,  trade protectionist, and inability of other companies to compete, and  that end up in monopoly again.
