Surviving Wal-Mart
"The Secrets of Retailing Or How to Beat Wal-Mart" is the name
of a new book from Silverback Books by Marc Joseph, president of DollarDays
International. Here are some gems from the book:
- Think small:
While large chains can buy in very large quantities, they can't
buy in small quantities. They can't benefit from the true closeouts,
which are broken lots or left-over goods that a manufacturer needs to
unload.
- Go unique: There
are many new products that, because the supply is limited, chains pass
over.
- Find small manufacturers:
Many small manufacturers will not sell to chain stores because one
year the chain may gobble up most of their production, and the next
year the chain will take that item and make a knock-off overseas.
- Overhead cost:
Instead of teams of buyers, batteries of lawyers and layers of accountants,
an independent business can be run by a true entrepreneur and their
trusty staff.
- Simpler shopping:
A store that is 2,000-5,000 square ft is much easier to shop than
a 100,000 square foot giant.
- Location, location,
location: Under-served neighborhoods are an opportunity for independent
stores to thrive where the giants are not.
- Personal attention:
People like to shop where they feel comfortable, where they feel
the owner cares about their wants and needs.
