growth of suburbs after World War II.

Specialty stores: A typical speciality store gives attention to a particular
category and provides high level of service to the customers. A pet
store that specializes in selling dog food would be regarded as a
specialty store. However, branded stores also come under this format.

merchandise at low margins. The operating cost is comparatively less
than other retail formats. They may adopt a Hi-Lo or an EDLP strategy
for pricing. The hypermarkets can be anywhere between 20,000 and
40,000 square feet (3,700 m2). Example: SPAR hypermarket.

sales has come from sales growth compared to the opening of
new stores. It is also known as comps.

Consumer Confidence Index: The Consumer Confidence Index
(CCI) is put out by the Consumer Confidence Board around the
middle of each month. The Consumer Confidence Survey is
based on a sample of 5,000 U.S. households and is considered
to be one of the most accurate indicators of confidence.
Increasing confidence means more spending and borrowing for
consumers.
9. RETAIL PRICING
Cost Plus Pricing- This involves adding a mark up amount
(or percentage) to the retailer's cost.
Suggested Retail Pricing- This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed
on the product by the manufacturer.
In Western countries, retail prices are often
called psychological prices or odd prices.
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels.
Alternatively, when prices are not clearly displayed, there
can be price discrimination, where the sale price is
dependent upon who the customer is.
Another example would be the practice of discounting for
youths, students, or senior citizens.
10. TRANSFER MECHANISM
There are several ways in which consumers can receive goods
from a retailer:
• Counter Service- where goods are out of reach of buyers
and must be obtained from the seller. This type of retail
is common for small expensive items (e.g. jewellery) and
controlled items like medicine and liquor. It was common
before the 1900s in the United States and is more
common in certain countries like India.
• Delivery- where goods are shipped directly to
consumer's homes or workplaces.
• Door-to-door sales- where the salesperson sometimes
travels with the goods for sale.
• Self-service- where goods may be handled and
examined prior to purchase.
