Network Marketing In layman's terms, in the normal marketing system, the manufacturer supplies the products through the middlemen such as brokers, wholesalers and retailers. These middlemen add their establishment costs and their own margin of profit or commission on the price. This increases the price by approximately 45 per cent. The consumer therefore gets the product at atleast a 45 per cent markup from the manufacturer's price. In network marketing, these middle men are eliminated.

...INDIAN FOOD RETAIL SECTOR IN THE GLOBAL SCENARIO Vijay Anand1 & Vikram Nambiar2 (The figures indicated with reference to revenues of unlisted companies are based on press information and other sources of information that are not published and therefore, may not be accurate) GLOBAL RETAILING INDUSTRY The latter half of the 20th Century, in both Europe and North America, has seen the emergence of the supermarket as the dominant grocery retail form. The reasons why supermarkets have come to dominate food retailing are not hard to find. The search for convenience in food shopping and consumption, coupled to car ownership, led to the birth of the supermarket. As incomes rose and shoppers sought both convenience and new tastes and stimulation, supermarkets were able to expand the products offered. The invention of the bar code allowed a store to manage thousands of items and their prices and led to 'just-in-time' store replenishment and the ability to carry tens of thousands of individual items. Computer-operated depots and logistical systems integrated store replenishment with consumer demand in a single electronic system. The superstore was born. On the Global Retail Stage, little has remained the same over the last decade. One of the few similarities with today is that Wal-Mart was ranked the top retailer in the world then and it still holds that distinction. Other than Wal-Mart’s dominance, there’s little about today’s environment that looks like the mid-1990s. The global economy...

The industry has benefited from the increase in government spending on infrastructure, dynamic local tourism, strong BPO growth, and influx of OFW remittances. The Philippine economy remains to be largely driven by consumer consumption which has accelerated growth both for store-based and non-store channels. Chained players expand in provincial areas During the year, chained retailers continue to realise the increasing potential of fast growing cities outside of Metro Manila. With BPO moving beyond the National Capital Region and tourism flourishing in the southern provinces of Visayas and Mindanao, the establishment of more shopping centres in provincial cities in turn encourages the expansion of chained players in these areas. Aiming to tap emerging lucrative markets, companies like Philippine Seven Corp, SM Retail Inc and Robinsons Retail Group, among others, are keen on establishing a presence outside Metro Manila. Grocery retailers surpasses non-grocery retailers sales growth With players like Puregold Price Club and SM Retail Inc focused on growing their networks of stores, grocery retailers surpass growth of non-grocery channels in 2012.

Increase in the number of working women: Today the urban women are literate and qualified. They have to maintain a balance between home and work.

...Chapter 14 Summary/ Definition Retailing includes all of the activities involved in selling goods or services directly to final consumers for personal, nonbusiness use. Retailer or retail store is any business enterprise whose sales volume comes primarily from retailing. Retail life cycle retail-store types pass through stages of growth and decline that can be described as the Wheel-of-retailing hypothesis, after conventional retail stores increase their services and raise their prices to cover the cost. These higher costs provide an opportunity for new retail forms to emerge with lower prices and less service 1. Self-service: The cornerstone of all discount stores, self-service allows customers to save money by carrying out their own locate-compare-select process. 2. Self-selection: Customers find their own goods, although they can ask for help. 3. Limited service: These retailers carry more shopping goods, and customers need more information and assistance. The stores also offer services (such as credit and merchandise-return privileges). 4. Full service: Salespeople are ready to assist in the locate-compare-select process. The high staffing cost, the higher proportion of specialty goods, slower-moving items, and more services, add up to high-cost retailing. Corporate retailing Such organizations achieve economies of scale and have greater purchasing power, wider brand recognition, and better-trained employees.
