Additional Information:
Types of Retail Institution: Supermarket
Number of Brands: Twenty
Location: On the shelves inside the supermarket. And the shelves with the chocolate are almost put in the middle of the supermarket. Since Christmas is coming, Park’N Shop is doing promotion for some kinds of chocolate and displaying them at the entrance of the supermarket to encourage customers’ purchase.
Other Comments: It is a good chance for Park’N Shop to do the promotion on chocolate as Christmas is coming. We believe that the supermarket can benefit from this strategy of seasonal offer to increase its sales.

Additional Information:
Types of Retail Institution: Supermarket
Number of Brands: Eighteen
Location: On the shelves inside the supermarket. And the shelves with the potato chips are also almost put in the middle of the supermarket, near the chocolate.
Promotion: Some brands are doing promotion by providing price discount for certain categories, eg. Jack’N Jill, Lay’s, Ruffles, TERRA and Pringle’s (Can Potato Chips).
Other Comments: Park’N Shop provides many kinds of potato chips from different brands with different flavors. Some of them are foreign brands. Therefore, we noticed that many foreign customers came to purchase potato chips during the time we did the observation research. However, we believe that the main target customers of Park’N Shop are still local people, so we highly recommend the supermarket to also put Chinese label on the shelves, not just the English version.

I. Part B
A. Background Information
PARK n SHOP became a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Group's supermarket chains Watson in 1972, in which Watson acquired the PARK n SHOP from Y.K.Lau. PARK n SHOP now owns more than 260 stores in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China and employs more than 9,000 staff. Owning more than 50 supermarkets and supercenters, PARK n SHOP occupies a market share of 70% in the retailing industry in Hong Kong. And this supermarket explored the Macao market in 1997. It set its first branch in the Macao peninsula, and opened a larger one in Taipa after several years. Considering the rapidly growing local market and increasingly purchasing power of the residents and travelers, PARK n SHOP opened another 4 shops in Macao. Now, PARK n SHOP is one of the largest retailer in Macao, and provides a variety of merchandise, including foods, daily products, housing assortments, and etc. As being required in this course, we will illustrate the retail mix of PARK n SHOP in the following 5 dimensions.

B. Appearance
Outdoor appearance and the entrance
According to our observation, the layout, design and visual techniques are consistent with the exterior of the store and the location. The PARK n SHOP we selected is located in the Cidade Das Flores in Taipa. We could see a large light box, which is a logo of PARK n SHOP. The light box uses blue color, which is the same as the primary colors we could see in the shop.

And the wall of the Cidade Das Flores is gray; therefore, the blue light box is consistent with the color of the building. After we get closer to the building and enter the gate, we could see the entrance. The entrance is well designed by considering some psychological factors related to people’s view and their mind. It is a kind of style that would the store looks larger than its real acreage. And there’s always a kiosk selling some fast food near the entrance. This kiosk is also a well designed part, because it not only draws people’s attention, but also draws those customers who just want to have something to eat to have a look at the store, and they may become the customers of the supermarket afterward.

In-store appearance
As far as we observed, the in-store decoration and visual conditions are quite consistent with its retailer type. Customers may see the seasonal promotion activities right at the main gate of the store, and they will see many merchandises if they just walk in this store.

Type of retailer and target market
As far as we concerned, the appearance of the store complies with what a supermarket should be. Refer to our observation and secondary data collected on the internet, the target customers of the PARK n SHOP are three groups—housewives, families, and foreigners.
Consistency of the ambiance
After our carefully observation, PARK n SHOP uses different color of light in different areas. In the areas that sell housing products, such as cooking tools, pillows, tissues, the color of the light is white, while in the areas that sell fresh food, the light is orange. This different treatment in different categories of products will better match the merchandises presented and customers’ expectation.

Recommendations
Generally speaking, PARK n SHOP does quite well in design its store appearance, and its in-store decoration and atmosphere. Although sometimes customers may feel the store is too small, and put too many things, considering Macao is a small place and the rental is very expensive as a result, we think what PARK n SHOP has done to manage its merchandise fits the local condition. Therefore, we do not have any specific recommendations in terms of the appearance.

C. Fixtures
In this part, since we already cover some of the questions in the previous part, we will cover the three questions in one paragraph.
As we mentioned before, the light highlights the merchandise sold. What’s more, the structure space also highlights the merchandises. The store use different shelf to hold different merchandise. For daily products, the store usually uses a big straight rack with several levels so that it will help the customers to see and touch the goods they want to buy. For some food, the store uses another kind of shelf, which is a gondola, to hold fresh food. The different fixtures will fulfill customers’ different needs. The straight racks will help the customers quickly find what they need, and show all the alternatives they will have. And the gondolas will help the customers to have a more direct feeling on the merchandises, especially for food. Therefore, in terms of fixtures, we think PARK n SHOP has done a good job.

D. Promotions
The store has two main kinds of signage, one is promotional signage and the other is category signage. And both of them are placed properly to guide the customers to what they want, and provide information on the promotional activities that the store holds. Therefore, they are efficient in selling merchandises. Unfortunately, maybe due to the limited space, the store does not use any theatrical effects. Yet, due to the limited space, the store uses the wall space to sell products. The store build shelves on the wall, and put some light items on those shelves.

This creative use of space not only makes use of the wall to save cost, but also makes the store looks larger.
Strictly speaking, there is no sales staff in PARK n SHOP because it is a supermarket. However, some the staffs do other jobs may function as sales staff when necessary. When customers cannot find the merchandises they want, they may always turn to those staff for help. And that staffs are usually friendly and helpful since they are willing to help and familiar with the store. Therefore, those staffs are consistent with the image of the store.
To sum up, in terms of promotion, PARK n SHOP does quite well. It offers a variety of promotional activities seasonally. This will help the store to draw customers.

E. Layout
In order to encourage customer to explore in the supermarket and help them move through the stores more flexibly and comfortably, it is essential for the supermarket to select a layout that can facilitate a specific traffic pattern and provide a pleasant purchasing environment.
PARK n SHOP engages the grid layout to draw people throughout the supermarket because of the following advantages, and we believe that it works a lot for the supermarket to attract customers. First, it is easy for the customers to locate merchandise with special signs and help them find them quickly. Second, it allows more merchandise to be displayed because the grid layout provide a sufficiently utilized design for the merchandise display and manage the space effectively and efficiently. Third, it is a cost efficient way to use the grid layout since the supermarket can achieve the benefit to the largest degree without spending too much on the design of the store layout. Besides the three primary advantages mentioned above, there is also on disadvantage in the engagement of grid layout, which is the limited site lines to merchandise. With narrow space, it is uncomfortable for consumers to hang out in the supermarket and it discourages them to explore the supermarket. And as a consequence, they are not willing to spend too much time there, perform little impulse purchasing and in return decreasing the supermarket revenue.
We don’t think other types of layout would be better according to the following reasoning. The first one, racetrack layout is mainly used in department stores. It is a kind of loop with a major aisle that has access to departments. The favorable factors using this layout are that it can draw customers around the store and provide different viewing angles and encourage exploration, impulse buying. And the second one, free-form (boutique) layout is mostly used in specialty stores and upscale department stores. This kind of layout allows the fixtures and aisles arranged asymmetrically and provide an intimate, relaxing environment that facilitates shopping and browsing. However, this pleasant relaxing ambiance has some drawbacks of small store experience and inefficient use of space. Besides, it is more susceptible to shoplifting since the salespeople can’t view adjacent spaces. Although these two kinds of layout have various benefits individually, however, they are not suitable for a supermarket because they can’t hold and display as much as merchandise, can’t help customers to locate merchandise easily and they are not cost efficient in the competition with rivals.

F. Merchandising
According to our observation, PARK n SHOP has employed some techniques for achieving greater space productivity. In the supermarket, they downsize the gondolas and racks but using many vertical shelves to expand the store space and enlarge the merchandise displayed. Besides, they also make full use of the cashier no-selling space by setting out some small items which are frequently purchased for daily use, such as the chewing gum, etc.
There are also some displays that increase interest in the products being offered. For example, there are some large and special signs and pictures that describe the promotion information for some merchandise.
PARK n SHOP mainly applies the item presentation which emphasizes on exhibiting the merchandises for consumers to choose. Also, being more specific, the tonnage merchandising approach is used for the fresh and frozen merchandises such as fruit, vegetables, milk, yoghurt, meat and seafood. This organization approach refers that large quantities of merchandise displayed together. Since the fresh food will be decomposed and should be disposed after the short expiration period, and the frozen food has to be kept in the special refrigerators, most of them will be put out for purchase and litter is left for inventory. Furthermore, the frontal presentation method is used for most of other merchandises, that is, the supermarket will display as much of the product as possible to catch the customer’s eyes.

G. Summary &Recommendation
After the analysis above, now we will talk about some points that can be improved for PART n SHOP and help it attract more customers, increase sales and improve its brand image.
One of the problems for PARK n SHOP is that the space is not spacious. The distance between two storage racks is too short. When there are two shopping trolleys come across, it always difficult to allow both two trolleys to pass through at the same time. This situation will make the customer feel crowed and uncomfortable and will reduce the time they spend in the supermarket. So we recommend that PARK n SHOP make the space more spacious just as the other big supermarket in the world. The picture below is the arrangement of the storage rocks in Carrefour. The spacious spaces make the customer enjoy the shopping in the supermarket and will increase the sales.

The second recommendation is to increase the sales person in the PARK n SHOP. The professional supermarket should provide the customer the professional services. PARK n SHOP does not do well at this part. Having different sales person responsible to particular kinds of goods can help customer know more about the products and make the best choice. Besides the sales persons in the supermarket can increase the customer’s shopping experience, they also can persuade the customer to buy more products to increase the sales of the supermarket.
Third, PARK n SHOP should put the fresh products such as the vegetables, fruits, meats at the obvious places. Since these products have the time limitation, so the high turnover of these products is very important. By putting them at obvious storage rack, the customers’ eye can will easily caught by these products when they enter the supermarket. Then the sales of these products will be increased. It also avoids the loss due to the out of date products.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the supermarket can also benefit a lot from this wave. Much high-tech equipment now can be introduced into the supermarket and provide convenience for customers. The last recommendation for PARK n SHOP is to introduce “Futurecart”, just as the picture shows below. The “Futurecart” is a new kind of shopping trolley. It has a LCD screen mounted at the end of the cart. And the LCD screen displays promotional information and targeted advertisements, which depend on where the trolley is positioned within the supermarket. Although the cost is high, however this strategy is cost efficient and it will improve the overall performance of the supermarket and establish a stronger store image. For instance, this trolley shown in the following picture will help the customer to know more about the products, promotion of the supermarket and increase the image of the PARK n SHOP.

Despite these problems and recommendations mentioned above, among the supermarkets in Macau, PARK n SHOP is still one of those who perform well in local industry and have a stable customer source. We believe PARK n SHOP will have a promising future.
