These percentages indicate that the moderate price points for men’s sport shirts at Millard’s are selling more in comparison to other price points.

2) The fact that Millard’s offers a budget price point for big and tall and the same goes for the better price point for regular sizes.

b. This puts Millard’s to a competitive advantage because there is only one competitor in that segment.

c. The budget price point in regular sizes is not at a competitive advantage.

d. This is because Kohl’s and Target offers a better price point and holds a higher percentage of total class in comparison to Millard’s

3) a. Thomas & Blake going out of business does indeed provide an environmental opportunity for Millard’s. T&B going out of business can cause the T&B customer to shift over and become a Millard’s customer because they are the next option.

b. It does; Millard’s may consider dropping their private label in order to claim the new “branded department store” territory.
c. Millard’s can start to expand their branded assortment, add more merchandise, more branded name (perhaps the same ones offered at Thomas and Blake) in order to make sure the T&B customer becomes a Millard’s shopper.

    Macy's and Dillard's

    • 2562 Words

    This report presents data describing the differences amongst the two department stores, their fundamental visions, and comparative statistics. Macy’s or Dillard’s: Differences amongst these competitors There are several aspects you can analyze from each department store. Major pieces do set each one apart from the other. Brand names carried by Macy’s and Dillard’s from an average shoppers point of view can go completely unnoticed unless price is involved. For trend shoppers brand names can either make or break a retail store. It can easily determine if he or she will walk to Macy’s or Dillard’s because they already know the store does or does not carry that brand. This is consistent with each department throughout both stores and affects revenue significantly. Macy’s currently has 15 private labels which include: Alfani, American Rag, Charter Club, Club Room, First Imoressions, Green Dog, Hotel Collection, I-N-C International Concepts, JM Collection, John Ashford, Material London, Style & Co, Taso Elb, The Cellar, and Tools of the Trade. Dillard’s brand names include: Cypress Links, Lawton Harbor, Oak Creek, Roundtree & Yorke and St. Durand, Bechamel, Cabernet, Copper Key, Preston & York and Westbound, Class Club, Brioso and Simply Comfort. Store appeal is another difference between the two retail stores. Macy’s has recently revamped all of their stores with a new trendier design and customer friendly use. Dillard’s is still conservative and plain when you walk into one of the department stores. The younger crowd would gear more towards Macy’s as a first choice of shopping. Elements that Macy’s brought into play were minor, but important customer satisfactions such as wider fitting rooms with waiting areas, international visitor centers and a dining experience in select stores. Macy’s also integrated the self-price check throughout their stores which relieves a lot of customer service, when you have the famous, “How much is this?” question. Dillard’s is trying…

    Barneys Marketing Plan

    • 1615 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Barneys is planning to extend the target market by embracing budget fashionistas as well as current target customers who are fashion connoisseurs with a high disposable income and cutting-edge taste. It is because, according to Spending Pulse, Sales of luxury goods fell 27.6% in December 2009 compared with December 2008 including credit cards and cash. The pullback in luxury spending due to the deteriorating economy brought about a sharp slowdown and a torrent of extraordinary markdowns last year. The competitors including Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus have been saddled with excess inventories and double-digit sales decrease. In order to do extend target market, Barneys will increase the amount of contemporary, accessory and Co-op merchandise up to 60% of whole inventory in two years, which can draw fashion-oriented customers with limited budget. The primary marketing objective is to accomplish sales increase by 3% compared with sales of $780 million for 2008 keeping profit margins of 50% or more, and a 8% increase in sales compared with sales of 2009, maintaining profit margins of 60% or more in the second year. The economic downturn has been bankrupting some firms, toppling longstanding agreements on pricing and distribution. Also, deep markdowns have been destroying the exclusivity that designers are trying to do.…
