The Marketing Mix of 759 Store AILIE TANG W. H. LO DEFYING HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY: THE MARKETING MIX OF 759 STORE “759” was a legend in Hong Kong. Before its 2010 inception, the city’s snacks and confectionery market had high barriers to entry. Suppliers were highly dependent on two supermarket chains as their major, and in some instances, the only retailers. Back then, the three-digit number “759” carried no special meaning for anyone in the city, except those involved in CEC International Holdings Limited (“CEC”), and only because the number was its code on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.1 By 2015, 759 was a synonym of Hong Kong snack shops / grocery stores. In less than five years, the retail operation expanded from a small tuck shop selling a limited collection of snacks in a local shopping mall to a retail chain of around 250 outlets offering a huge selection of over 30,000 products. 759 had also diversified from shops of a few hundred square feet mainly selling snacks, to an umbrella brand that covered chains of shops and bistros with an average outlet area approaching two thousand square feet. All this showed that 759 had got its marketing mix right. So what was the company’s positioning? What was the product mix and how was it planned and executed? What was its placement strategy? What unique pricing strategy had 759 adopted? Did the company have a people strategy? How did the company build its brand, and what promotion and packaging directions did it take? How did all these “marketing Ps” sync? Snack & Grocery Markets in Hong Kong Before 759 Hong Kong had two key supermarket chains, the Park’nshop and Wellcome Supermarket. Before 759, there were two chain stores in Hong Kong that specialised in selling snacks and confectionery: Aji Ichiban and Okashi Land. The former specialized in traditional Chinese snacks. The latter mainly sold Japanese packaged snacks and confectionery, and was owned by a major snack and confectionery enterprise in Hong Kong.2 These were where customers usually went for packaged snacks and confectioneries.3 1 CEC International Holdings Limited operated two major lines of business. Its manufacturing business operated factories in Mainland China that produced electronic components. Its retail operation ran around 250 shops and bistros in Hong Kong. See: http://www.0759.com/CECWEB/index.aspx?lang=en (accessed 10 August 2015). 2 Okashi Land was a subsidiary of the Four Seas Mercantile Holdings Limited.

Ref.: 16/010C Version: SHMBA (July 2016) Page 1 Defying High Barriers to Entry: The Marketing Mix of 759 Store (16/010C) Though there was limited market data on the snack and confectionery market in Hong Kong, its market structure and condition could be inferred from a 2007 study conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong on Hong Kong’s retailing industry, with a focus on “the interplay between suppliers and retailers.”4 Major study findings, indicated that the majority of Hong Kong were highly dependent on supermarkets as their retailers, and most suppliers were not “able to stipulate the resale prices of the goods on the retailers” [for more details on the major findings of the study, see Exhibit 1].5 In addition to having strong bargaining power with suppliers, Park’nshop and Wellcome were “both subsidiaries of local property conglomerates and, given local conditions, the ability of newcomers to enter the market is restricted by high barriers to entry.”6 The Story of 759 Store With short supplies by local distributors, we tried to buy direct from Japan. But with only eight to ten small shops… the common response was to refer us back to local distributors in Hong Kong … I had to use my own network to gain a chance to meet with a major, one of the top ten, Japanese supplier… Just before meeting with him, I decided to list in our portfolio that we would be expanding to 30 shops within a short period of time. I even decided to change the name of our shops from “a snack shop” to “阿信屋” so that he would instantly know what business and target customers my shops aimed at.7 - Lam Wai Chun, Founder and CEO, 759 Store8 Facts and Figures 759 was the retail business of the manufacturing group CEC. Despite only having been established in 2010, 759 accounted for over 88% of CEC’s turnover and was its major profit contributor.9 According to its 2014-15 annual report, 759 operated 249 retail stores with a total floor area of 431,000 square feet.10 The majority of these stores were original 759 Store, that is, stores that sold mainly snacks, beverages, staple and non-staple food. For the fiscal year 2014-15, these retail operations brought in revenues of HK$2,133,805,000, at an operating profit of HK$68,637,000, yielding a net profit margin of 3.2 %.11 [See Exhibit 2 for more information on 759’s retail revenue performance in 2010- 2015.] www.my3q.com, http://www.my3q.com/view/viewSummary.phtml?questid=162030 (accessed 7 September 2015) 4 Chinese University of Hong Kong (14 March 2007) “CUHK Marketing Department Survey on Hong Kong's Retailing Industry Reveals that Unfair Practices Generally Exist in Supplier / Retailer Relationship”, http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/cpr/pressrelease/070314e.htm (accessed 7 September 2015). 5 Chinese University of Hong Kong (14 March 2007) “CUHK Marketing Department Survey on Hong Kong's Retailing Industry”, http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/cpr/pressrelease/070314e.pdf (accessed 7 September 2015). 6 Willams, M.

CENTENNIAL COLLEGE Page 2 Defying High Barriers to Entry: The Marketing Mix of 759 Store (16/010C) The Birth The story behind the birth of 759 was well-known in Hong Kong. When the founder of 759, Lam Wai Chun (“Lam”), needed to downsize his manufacturing operations in 2009, he wanted to signal his staff, preparing them for possibly losing their jobs and encouraging them to start looking for new career opportunities. At the same time, he wanted to explore other business opportunities in Hong Kong. Some of his staff suggested going retail and selling snacks. Lam decided to make a small investment and let his staff try the concept out. They assembled local supplies and the first 759, a tuck shop-style outlet in a small local shopping mall in Kwai Chung, was born in July 2010. The Merchandising Challenge With the local snack market dominated by the two largest Hong Kong supermarket chains, sourcing local supplies was never an easy job. The new kid on the block lacked scale. In fact, 759 was never considered a serious player by local distributors of branded snacks. It quickly ran into a near-fatal challenge. It wanted the freedom in set the price of the products sold, a logical desire, but taboo to the local grocery retail scene of the time. The primary considerations for local suppliers of grocery products, including snacks, were key accounts, that is, existing Hong Kong supermarkets and major convenience stores. When 759 failed to follow the rules, they faced supply shortages. Local snack suppliers decided either to boycott 759 or limit their supplies. This near-fatal challenge turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Lam was driven to try to procure snacks in Japan, an expedient that proved eye-opening. With his personal network, Lam managed to solicit help from a major Japanese supplier. With much effort, 759 assembled a container-full of different brands of Japanese confectionary and snacks. What was so surprising to Lam and his team was that, even without many minimum-order constraints, the cost of these products was much lower than the wholesale cost in Hong Kong. The team quickly realized that they could source much more cheaply by importing directly from Japan, even when they did not have the volume to obtain bulk purchase discounts. This sourcing alternative not only allowed 759 to resolve its local sourcing problem, but gave the snack shops the foundation for their future success.

  • RSCI Pioneered the Hypermarket Concept in the Philippines Through Shopwise
    Rustan Supercenters, Inc. (RSCI), a member of the Rustan Group of Companies, was founded in 1998 at the height of the Asian Economic Crisis. It was the first Rustan Company to take in outside investors. It was also the Rustan Group’s first major foray into the discount retailing segment through an adapted European style hypermarket. RSCI pioneered the hypermarket concept in the Philippines through Shopwise. Armed with the vision of providing Quality for All, the Company sought to make the renowned Rustan’s quality accessible to all, especially the middle and working class. Its mission is to create a chain of supercenters or hypermarkets which is the needs of the Filipino family. Rustan’s decision to diversify into hypermarkets was borne out of manifest opportunities brought about by fundamental changes that are taking place in the Philippine market: a burgeoning middle class; increasing value consciousness across various income levels; and new geographical market opportunities that are best served through discount retailing operations. RSCI developed and opened the first hypermarket in the country in November 29, 1998 in Alabang. From 40 employees, it now employs more than 6,000 employees The Company has attained much success since its inception. From 40 employees, it now employs more than 6,000 employees. From sales of zero, the Company registered sales of over P17B in fiscal year 2012-2013. From one hypermarket in Filinvest Alabang, it has now grown to 46 stores covering multiple retail formats, namely, hypermarkets, upscale supermarkets, and neighborhood grocery stores. November 2006 marked yet another milestone for RSCI when it has acquired the 21 Rustan’s stores and food services operations under an Asset Lease Agreement.

  • RISKS of SOURCING SEAFOOD in HONG KONG SUPERMARKETS 2019 Every Retailer in the City Must Take a Lead to Help Transform Hong Kong Into Asia’S Most Sustainable City
    RISKS OF SOURCING SEAFOOD IN HONG KONG SUPERMARKETS 2019 Every retailer in the city must take a lead to help transform Hong Kong into Asia’s most sustainable city The United Nations’ recent global assessment on biodiversity and ecosystem services sounded a warning that around one million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss. More than a third of all marine mammals are currently threatened. Without proper management of fishing practices and transparent seafood supply chains, there will be degradation of natural habitats and a drop in food security levels in seafood. Ultimately, it will affect the profitability of all businesses that rely on seafood. Hong Kong is the second largest per capita consumer of seafood in Asia. We import over 90% of our seafood from over 170 countries and territories around the world. Our seafood choices affect marine fisheries resources worldwide. As Hong Kong supermarkets play an increasingly important role in supplying seafood to consumers, they can also be crucial in making sustainable seafood more publicly accessible. In October 2016, WWF-Hong Kong published the first report detailing how local supermarket giants were selling globally threatened species and seafood products associated with environmental, social and legal problems. By documenting their existing practices and educating supermarkets about the impacts of their seafood sales on marine resources and our oceans, we sought to raise public awareness and collectively encourage them to set up a comprehensive sustainable seafood procurement policy. There are 29 chain supermarket brands in Hong Kong owned by a total of nine groups or companies comprising over 70% market share in the city’s food retail sector.

CPI Antitrust Chronicle September 2015 (2) Treatment of Resale Price Maintenance in Hong Kong Ping LIN1 I. INTRODUCTION Three years after its enactment, the Competition Ordinance of Hong Kong (“Ordinance”) is set to come into force on December 14, 2015. This article reviews the conceptually framework which the Hong Kong Competition Commission (“HKCC”) will be adopting in assessing resale price maintenance (“RPM”), one of the issues at the center of interest in Hong Kong before and after the enactment of the Ordinance. Emphases will be on the theories of harms, recognized pro-competitive effects of RPM, and the role of intra-brand competition relative to inter-brand competition, as contained in the official guidelines published in July 2015. This article also provides some historical background regarding the occurrence of, and various views about, RPM in Hong Kong in order to fully understand its seemingly “near per se illegal” treatment of RPM. II. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND RPM has received great attention in Hong Kong since the mid-1990s when Hong Kong first started discussing introducing competition law, as initiated by the Hong Kong Consumer Council. In 1996, the Consumer Council received two complaints, one of which was from Carrefour, a French supermarket chain. Carrefour had just entered the Hong Kong supermarket sector, which was highly concentrated with the two local supermarket chains occupying as much as 70 percent of the market.
