Because of this, I thoroughly enjoyed Aberdeen retailer Leanne McGowan’s number crunching on the PayPoint Pay Fair Facebook page over the weekend. Sceptical of the service provider’s much-vaunted “20% more footfall, 20% higher spend” claim, she picked a random day and analysed trans- RETAIL NEWSAGENT NEWS ● CONVENIENCE ● PROFIT actions and average spend for PayPoint users versus everyone else. Three interesting stats jumped out: first, 42% of her PayPoint users So the claim that didn’t buy anything else that day. Second, the average basket spend of a PayPoint users spend PayPoint user was £4.84, 22% lower than the £6.24 spent by non-users. And third, however, if you remove the 42% of PayPoint users who didn’t 20% more than average buy anything else, the average spend was £8.34, 33% higher than the shoppers only rings store average. true if you count the So the claim that PayPoint users spend 20% more than average shop- users who actually pers only rings true if you count the users who actually buy something. She also quite fairly asks who’s to say that the 75 PayPoint users that buy something day were new footfall and not existing customers who love her great prices and excellent service and paid their bills there because it was con- venient? The thing about market research is you can spin a compelling sales story out of any set of answers if you ask the right questions. And while some numbers look good sat in an air conditioned office, they don’t ring true with retailers on the ground.

    Notes PREFACE 1. For an analysis of machine metaphors and the impact of technology in imperial settings see Michael P. Adas, Machines as the Measure of Man (Ithaca, NY, 1990). See also Anson Rabinbach, The Human Motor (New York, 1990). 2. Les Jeux Olympiques, 776 av. J.C.-1896 (Paris, 1896) 108. 3. Ideal Health and How to Obtain It by Physical Culture, by 'M.D/ (Lon­ don, 1909) 1. 4. The problems with studying the body in the context of private life in this period have already been cogently laid out by Michelle Perrot (ed.), A History of Private Life: From the Fires of Revolution to the Great War (Cambridge, MA, 1990) 1-5. Even most sociologists, who are typically less tradition bound than historians, would admit that there is as yet no sociology of the body, only a diffuse and cautious effort to begin collecting bodily related data. As Anthony Synnott argues in The Body Social: Symbolism, Self and Society (New York, 1993), psy­ chologists and philosophers as well as historians have tended to ignore the body. Groundbreaking work by historians of gender and sexuality such as Judith Walkowitz, Peter Brown and Thomas Laqeuer are notable exceptions in this regard. 5. See David Landes, Prometheus Unbound: Technological Change and Indus­ trial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present (Cambridge, 1969) 357. 6. Ibid. 7. Like the geographical nation, biological categories such as gender often implicitly finesse questions about their specificity and substance. These are taken for granted as the visible which denotes the under­ lying truth of differences.

  • Mkt Mix- Uniliver
    Home » Business » Marketing » Project Report on Marketing Strategy of Unilever Bangladesh Project Report on Marketing Strategy of Unilever Bangladesh Introduction Unilever is a multi-national corporation, formed of Anglo-Dutch parentage that owns many of the world’s consumer product brands in foods, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. Unilever employs nearly 180,000 people and had worldwide revenue of almost €40 billion in 2005. Unilever is a dual-listed company consisting of UnileverNV in Rotterdam, Netherlands and Unilever PLC in London, England. This arrangement is similar to that of Reed Elsevier and that of Royal Dutch Shell prior to their unified structure. Both Unilever companies have the same directors and effectively operate as a single business. The current non-executive Chairman of Unilever N.V. and PLC is Michael Treschow while Patrick Cescau is Group Chief Executive, who will retire at the end of 2008. Mr Paul Polman will succeed Patrick Cescau as Group Chief Executive. The company is widely listed on the world’s stock exchanges. 1.2 Origin of report Since practical orientation is an integral part of the BBA program, I tried to expose real life performance of Uniliver by preparing this report. To prepare this report I have come across with different information of the Uniliver. From the collected information I understand the company’s activities in the market as Uniliverll as in their internal preparation for marketing and others activities. I expect that this report will fulfill the requirement of BBA program and provide a clear idea about the Uniliver activities and other multi-national company’s effort in the Bangladesh.
