  9. Channel Grazing Increased competition for Rx sales Gasoline retailing Frequent shopper program Demand for convenience Niche retailing Key Industry Trends

  10. A new concept: Channel Grazing • Clear evidence that consumers take advantage of their channel options • But how many retailers or retail channels do consumers include in their shopping mix? • Any differences in shopping behavior among light versus heavy grazing households? • Does grazing differ by household composition?

  11. A new concept: Channel Grazing • Over 900national, regional, & local retailers & retail channels monitored via Homescan panel • Households who shopped in “1” to “n” retailers were placed into three groups to define: • Heavy grazers: shopped in over 28 retailers/retail channel per year • Medium grazers: shopped in 19-27 retailers/retail channel per year • Light grazers: shopped in 18 or fewer retailers/retail channel per year

  12. Channel Grazers drive retail sales Total U.S. - 52-wks ending 12/29/01 – All Outlets

  13. Channel “grazing” prevalent in more populated counties More grazers where there is more variety 74% Total U.S. - 52-wks ending 12/29/01 – All Outlets

  18. Gasoline retailing – did you know? • Share of gasoline sales from high-volume retailers is expected to grow from 5% to between 15% & 20% within four years • “Costco testified at a recent public hearing…locations with gasoline have a customer-repeat frequency of four times per month. Locations without gasoline have a repeat frequency of one time per month.” Source: NACS

  19. 78% of U.S. households participate in a Grocery Frequent Shopper ProgramBut, 63% are in multiple programs! Source: ACNielsen Homescan surveys

  20. Competition for Convenience Dual working households, less time for preparation Improved shelf life, refrigerated, convenient products.. “Consumers told us that if it's not easy, it's not eaten.”

  21. “Convenience Still Competes” • Old Fort Travel Plaza in Ft. Wayne, Indiana added delivery of just about anything (detergent, cigarettes, milk, etc.) along with their normal pizza deliveries • This was driven by: • increased competition from Kroger & Wal-Mart for gasoline sales • “You cannot compete with them on price. They can sell gas at 25 cents a gallon and make it up selling lawnmowers.” • Store owner expects to add another 25% on top of their normal pizza sales & drive other foodservice sales Source: NACS Magazine – March 2002

  22. Niche Retailing • Whole Foods “is the largest retailer of natural and organic foods, with 128 stores” • Wild Oats “is the 2nd largest natural supermarket chain in North America, with more than 100 stores” • EatZi is a bakery, a market & a restaurant with catering services for all occasions

  23. Summary • Consumers take advantage of channel options • Grocery channel shopping frequency continues decline; Mass declining too • Dollar Stores & Supercenters posting strong penetration gains • Heavy category buyers purchase in multiple channels; Heavy “grazers” drive retail sales

  24. Summary • The demographics & shopping behavior of channel shoppers varies by channel • Successful Retailers will use this knowledge to target growth via advertising, merchandising and promotional activities • Successful Manufacturers will help Retailers and themselves with channel-specific targeting of products and promotions

  25. Summary • Retailers • Alternative channel retailers are coming after your shoppers & their shopping trips • invest dollars to re-invent yourselves! • Focus efforts against core/heavy shoppers • expand products & services to capture greater share of spending • frequent shopper programs need to be more than just another deal • Initiate efforts to increase loyalty among “key” occasional or light shoppers

  26. Drive-thru & Drive-up Indoor food courts Outdoor cafes On-site gasoline pumps Book sections w/seating Leveraging food categories to drive frequency & ring On-line ordering & home delivery Self check-out counters In/Out specialty items Enhanced wine sections Floral departments On-site banking & other financial services Health Food & Health Care sections Cooking classes “Department Store” cosmetic counters Child care facilities Good tasting & variety of prepared foods Photo Processing Offerings that progressive retailers are using to re-invent themselves

  27. Summary • Manufacturers • Capitalize on the channel shopping diversity of heavy category buyers through expanded distribution • if you don’t a competitor will! • Expand through tailored product offerings, not through increased distribution of existing offerings • match product offerings w/channel demographics and/or channel shopping behavior
