e-Retail: Multichannel retail integration – Aarkstore Enterprise

An increasingly empowered consumer is now internet shopping savvy and has come to expect a consistent experience with whichever channel they choose to shop. With consumers’ expectations and competitive pressures increasing, it is imperative that retailers develop long term multichannel strategies, investing in new technology and incorporating new services in their propositions.

Scope

*Analysis of how the development of multichannel operations has impacted the way in which consumers shop.

*Overview of what the modern consumer has come to expect from their shopping experience.

*The difficulties that have arisen through the creation of multichannel retail operations.

*How retailers can respond to these difficulties and help foster the closer integration and experience consistency between channels.

Highlights

A more empowered and demanding consumer expects a high level of shopping experience regardless of which channel is utilised. It is thus essential that retailers link channels as much as possible, creating a consistent cross-channel experience.

To attain a heightened level of integration across all channels it is essential to invest in unifying both front of house and backoffice operations. In turn this will allow easier and more effective fulfilment strategies and multichannel management of customer data.

New technology such as instore kiosks and more advanced visual imagery online will facilitate the integration of different channels. It is also important for retailers to implement multichannel services such and click & collect, not only to strengthen integration but to enhance convenience credentials.

Reasons to Purchase

*Understand the impact that changing consumer habits have had on their demands and expectations.

*Identify the issues that retailers face when developing multichannel operations and the strategies that they can employ to overcome them.

*Understand what role new instore and online technology can have in achieving closer integration and consistency of experience.

UK Neighbourhood Retailing 2008 – Aarkstore Enterprise

Neighbourhood retailing is outperforming all other locations. The location offers substantial opportunities, but the dynamics of the market are changing. As the market consolidates, growth is becoming more elusive and while substantial opportunities remain, trading conditions are more challenging and the strategies for success very different.

 *Focus on composition of convenience market (The Co-operatives, Multiples, Symbol Groups, Independents, forecourt retailing)
 
 *Market shares for leading players 2003-2008
 
 Highlights
 
 Neighbourhood retailing is benefitting from a shift in shopping habits, an increased demand for convenience, improved standards and the arrival of the grocers. The expansion of the grocers has enticed people to shop locally and the symbol groups to enhance their propositions, encouraging independents to join and consumers to shop with them.
 
 Competition is intensifying and pressures on food specialists, independents, off-licences and CTNs mounting. With the market consolidating, the easy wins of the past are harder to come by, while the boost received from the arrival of the grocers can not be repeated. Growth is set to become more elusive and the strategies for success different.
 
 With propositions becoming more comprehensive, the need for CTNs, off-licenses and undifferentiated specialists is diminishing. As the market consolidates, store environments, fresh food and food-to-go will be key battlegrounds and the multiples, with the expertise and investment available to them, are well placed be the big winners.

Smart Grid Technologies, Markets, Components and Trends Worldwide – Aarkstore Enterprise

This research report on Smart Grid Energy Technologies presents an in-depth analysis of the development, applications, products, manufacturers, and trends in the deployment of the Smart Grid in the United States and around the world. The electric grid is over a hundred years old, has changed little in the way it operates since its inception, and will not be able to support future electric demand without substantial new and costly infrastructure. However, technologies exist that can improve efficiencies and moderate electric usage which will largely offset much of the need for new power plants, transmission lines, and other electric grid components. An “intelligent” or “smart” grid will provide improved service reliability and more stable electric rates at a lower cost than simply building all the infrastructure that would be required to meet future demand for electricity using the current electric utility business model. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current market for smart grid enabling technologies and projects future market size through 2014. Marketing concerns including energy demand, environmental impacts, economic conditions, consumer acceptance, stakeholder concerns, and government activities are discussed in relation to their impact on market growth for the Smart Grid and its enabling technologies. The report also profiles major manufacturers and marketers of smart grid technologies and the strategies they have adopted to maximize growth and profitability.

A lack of standards has slowed, but not stopped, development of new technologies that would be essential for building the Smart Grid. Regulatory considerations, electric rate increases, government activities, and consumer acceptance are also significant factors in developing the Smart Grid and are addressed in the report. The manner in which these and other factors inhibit or advance deployment of the Smart Grid are described in detail.

Scope and Methodology

This report includes both primary and secondary research. Secondary research data have been obtained from government sources, trade association publications, business journals, and company literature. Statistical data are included for industry revenue, both globally and for the United States. The market size for Smart Grid technologies is projected from 2009 to 2014. Demand in each of the following technology applications is analyzed in terms of overall revenue for deploying the Smart Grid:

Two-Way Communications

Smart Meters

Smart Sensors

Information Technology

Renewable Energy and Storage Systems

Potential Smart Grid applications, buying trends, environmental issues, and energy considerations are also reviewed and analyzed. Market size estimates and forecasts are based on government and secondary sources, and the impact of factors such as government grants and incentive, environmental concerns, fuel and energy prices, economic considerations, and housing and building trends.

How You Will Benefit From This Report

If your company is involved with electric service, energy efficiency, two-way communications, information technology, home automation, or smart appliances – or if you are starting “green” energy initiatives, constructing “green” buildings, or simply want to determine the myriad opportunities that exist with deployment of the Smart Grid – you will find this report invaluable, as it provides a comprehensive package of information and insight about smart grid enabling technologies that are not offered in any other single source. You will gain a thorough understanding of the current Smart Grid applications and markets, as well as projected market sizes and trends through 2014.

This report will help:
Marketing Managers identify market opportunities and develop targeted promotion plans for smart grid products and services.

Research and Development Professionals stay on top of competitor initiatives, product applications, and demand for smart grid enabling technologies.

Advertising Agencies working with clients in the energy efficiency, energy service, information technology, communications, and consumer appliance and electronics markets develop compelling messages and images to promote sales of smart grid products and services.

Business Development Executives understand the dynamics of deployment of the Smart Grid, identify potential partnerships, and detect new product applications.

Information and Research Center Librarians provide market researchers, brand and product managers, and other colleagues with the vital information they need to do their jobs more effectively.
