Portuguese Retailer Tops Table of Best Performing Global Retail Websites in Q1 Sitemorse Top 250 Global Retail Websites Q1 2015 April 2015 Portuguese retailer tops table of best performing global retail websites in Q1 Portugal-based Grupo Jerónimo Martins heads up the table of the world's best performing retail websites in Q1 2015 - a first for a retailer from that country - as it tops the table of the Top 250 global sites tested exclusively for the World Retail Congress by Sitemorse. The company moved up 14 places, with a score of 6.28 out of 10 compared with 4.92 last time, just ahead of second-placed ICA from Sweden that moved up four places, Otto Group and Rewe-Zentral both from Germany climbed eight and six places respectively. They were all new into the top five in what has been a quarter of great change - with only Spar Group holding its position in the upper grouping as it slipped one place into fifth spot. The scores for the Top 250 table are created by Sitemorse (www.sitemorse.com) using its automated software that reads and reviews the first 125 pages of each retailer’s site and places them in a ranked table based on user experience (UX), governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and search capability (SEO). Although there are four German-based merchants in the top 20 this is one less than in Q4 2014 in what is a trend this quarter for less companies from the US and Germany that have historically had a strong presence at the top end of the table. However, the top 20 places still remain tightly held by European companies alongside firms from the US and Japan, which suggests online is still being delivered most professionally in developed markets. Despite the UK being the most passionate country for online commerce it has a poor record at the top of the table, with only Iceland represented - in 20th spot after a rise of 29 places. It replaces B&Q as the sole UK representative in Q1 after the DIY retailer slipped 48 places from last time when it held second spot. It is certainly not the most disappointing performance this quarter as the big fallers include: The Bon-Ton Stores, which fell 159 places to 195th spot; Groupe Auchan fell 136 places to 178th spot; Raley's slipped 113 places to 203rd spot; and Richemont group declined 108 places to 142nd spot. There were few large climbers this quarter, with the only notable improved performances coming from The Game Group that moved up 97 places to 56th spot, Race Trac Petroleum advanced 86 places to 65th spot, and Lowe's that climbed 84 places to 85th spot. At least all these names are positioned well above the worst performers in the table in Q1 where Japan and the US still have a strong presence in the bottom 10 places. But at least Japan has reduced its number from five merchants last time to only three this quarter. Brazil was the most disappointing country as it now has two merchants in the bottom 10, with Grupo Pão de Açúcar (now trading as CBD) falling 13 places to 211th spot and Casas Bahia slipped 47 places to 214th spot. Although Sitemorse tested the top 250 global retailers, the final table contains only 218 names because companies were excluded from the process if they used assistive technology such as JavaScript, which breaks the general “rules of accessibility” of internet sites, according to Sitemorse.

  • The Mixed Brand and Private Label Strategy – Retailer's Perspective
    The Mixed Brand and Private Label Strategy – Retailer’s Perspective illustrated by the Rema1000 case Jesper Kolind (WORK IN PROGRESS) Jesper Kolind is ph.d. student at the University of Southern Denmark, Department of Entrepreneurship and Relationship Management, Engstien 1, 6000 Kolding, Denmark E‐mail: [email protected] Page 1 Abstract In this paper, the terms “Focused” and “Mixed” suppliers / retailers are introduced and presented in an interface model. The general thesis is that suppliers and retailers face similar challenges and difficulties strategically and organizationally when they work with a mixed brand and private label strategy (working with both brands and private label in the same organization). Different models have been used with different results and the success/failure is not only a result of the individual approach but moreover of the co‐operation between the two parties. This paper is limited to the retailers perspective and is covered through a literature review in particular about the reasons for retailers to get involved in private label and illustrated by an explorative case study of the discounter Rema1000. Keywords: Retailers, suppliers, private label, interactions, dyads Introduction The last 10 years, I have been directly involved in selling private label products both in a company dominated by branded sales where private label had low priority but also in a private label dominated company where the priorities were opposite. During this period I have often experienced how difficult it is for the suppliers to balance the strategic focus between brands and private label. Likewise, I have experienced that retailers face the same strategic and organizational difficulties when it comes to a mixed strategy involving both brands and private labels.

    Saint Joseph’s University, Summer 2010 Achieving a First: SJU’s Personal Connections to Professor and Students Doneene Damon ‘89 Rebuilding Haiti Feed the Hungry FROM THE PRESIDENT A little more than five years ago, Saint Joseph’s University embarked on Plan 2010: The Path to Preeminence, an ambitious strategic plan that would enable us to be recognized as the Northeast’s preeminent Catholic comprehensive university. Now, with so many of Plan 2010’s initiatives accomplished, we look forward to the coming decade from a position of academic and financial strength. Our academic position has been affirmed by the tremendous achievements of our talented faculty and students. U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the Erivan K. Haub School of Business Executive MBA program 20th in the nation. Additionally, over the past two years, four graduating seniors in the College of Arts and Sciences were awarded Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships, among other prestigious scholarships. There is also wonderful news about graduates enrolled in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC). Saint Joseph’s tied with Gonzaga University for having the highest number of alumni participants in the JVC. I am immensely proud that 16 alumni have committed to one year of living and working for others. Our successes do not mean that we will rest on our laurels, however. Saint Joseph’s is blessed with a robust planning culture, and after more than a year of intensive data gathering and planning, a framework for Plan 2020: Gateway to the Future has crystallized.
