Wheel of Retailing

A better known theory of retailing wheel of retailing proposed by Maclcomb McNair says,
1.

New retailers often enter the market place with low prices, margins, and status. The low prices are usually the result of some innovative cost-cutting procedures and soon attract competitors. With the passage of time, these businesses strive to broaden their customer base and increase sales. Their operations and facilities increase and become more expensive.

They may move to better up market locations, start carrying higher quality products or add services and ultimately emerge as a high cost price service retailer. By this time newer competitors as low price, low margin, low status emerge and these competitors too follow the same evolutionary process. The wheel keeps on turning and department stories, supermarkets, and mass merchandise went through this cycles.

Functions of a retaillier

From the customer point of view, the retailer serves him by providing the goods that he needs in the required assortment, at the required place and time. From an economic standpoint, the role of a retailer is to provide real added value or utility to the customer. This comes four different perspectives

Presented by www.InfoFanz.com : Preapred By Dr.Pooja Sharma 8

1.

Form: First is utility regarding the form of a product that is acceptable to the customer. The retailer does not supply raw material, but rather offers finished goods and services in a form that the customers want. The retailer performs the function of sorting the goods and providing us with an assortment of product in various categories.

Place: By being available at a convenient location, he creates place utility.

Ownership: Finally, when the product is sold, ownership utility is created. Apart from these functions retailer also performs like: 5. Arranging Assortment: manufacturers usually make one or a variety of products and would like to sell their entire inventory to few buyers to reduce costs. Final consumers, in contrast prefer a large variety of goods and services to choose from and usually buy them in small units. Retailers are able to balance the demands of both sides, by collecting an assortment of goods from different sources, buying them in sufficiently large quantities and selling them to consumers in small units

5.

Breaking Bulk: to reduce transportation costs, manufacturer and wholesalers typically ship large cartons of the products, which are then tailored by the retailers into smaller quantities to meet individual consumption needs Holding stock: Retailers maintain an inventory that allows for instant availability of the product to the consumers. It helps to keep prices stable and enables the manufacture to regulate production. Promotional support: small manufacturers can use retailers to provide assistance with transport, storage, advertising, and pre- payment of merchandise.

In the past decade, the Indian marketplace has transformed dramatically. However from the 1950,s to the 80,s, investment in various industries was limited due to low purchasing power in the hands of the consumer and the governments policies favoring the small scale sector. The first attempts at organized retailing were noticed in the textiles sector. One of the pioneers in this field was Raymonds which set up stores to retail fabric.
