Innovation is key to regaining pricing power and growing revenues, according to Kanbay Research Institute's 2006 Retail Demand Today Report

Posted by | Aug 17, 2006 | |

Even though consumers in the US today have more places and ways to shop than ever before, industry growth has been cut in half when comparing 2000-2005 to 1995-2000. The primary cause of the decline is due to a lack of retailer innovation, according to Kanbay Research Institute’s (KRI) latest report on retail demand. The report, which was released today, is entitled “Retail Demand Today: How Well Retailers Deliver on America’s Shopping Desires.” The report augments the data presented in Retail Demand Insights 2006, a co-branded report between the KRI and the NRF Foundation and sponsored by SAP Americas, which was released at the NRF’s annual convention in January 2006. Although retailers as a group have improved their delivery substantially since 2004, pricing power with consumers has dropped 68% from 8.1% to 2.6%. Most improvement has focused on either cost-cutting or opening more stores. Yet, shoppers increasingly want retailers to better connect with them in new and exciting ways.

The Post Office hopes to develop greater awareness of “Automated Postal Centers”. They were set up in three Roanoke area post offices more than 18 months ago, but so far, their use has not met expectations.

The APC’s allow you to buy stamps and place many packages in the mail 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can find them at the Main Post Office near the Roanoke Civic Center, the Cave Spring branch, and the Hollins branch on Williamson Road.
