  • 151016 CB China Power of Retailing 2015 CN.Docx
    China Power of Retailing 2015 China Power of Retailing 2015 1 Foreword 2015 has witnessed the recovery of a global economy and the gradual stabilization of a real economy in China. While the Eurozone economy continues to improve, the differentiation among its economies remains noticeable. “Abeconomics” throws Japan into deep recession. The United States of America, as the only exception, enters the trajectory of a strong recovery and the US dollar has appreciated sharply against other major world currencies. Its well-anticipated rise in interest rate in the fourth quarter forebodes an accelerated devaluation of currencies in most emerging economies. As a result, the pressure on devaluating RMB is mounting. With a slowed growth rate, the Chinese economy has arrived at the stage of new normal. The YoY growth for the first half of the year lingers around 7%, hindered by the deceleration of the three engines that used to propel GDP growth – a sluggish export, a slow growth in investment and a domestic consumption that continues to fall behind expectation. Although the growth rate of the total retail of consumer goods has dropped, it has far outpaced the domestic industrial growth. With the consumer confidence seeing constant improvement that will further free up consumption potential, consumption is expected to continue pulling the economy in the future. A continued fall in oil prices has offset the inflationary pressure, curbing the inflation at a lower level to make room for executing a lax monetary policy. To further boost investment and consumption, and reduce enterprise financing costs, the government has gradually redirected its macro economy from “stabilize growth and adjust structure” to “ensure growth,” making the lowering of interest rate and reserve ratio possible in the second half of the year.

  • 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.

  • 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.
