OFF THE DFFB END

ED DEEB New Department? By 1980, it is expected that the will have approxi­ mately 95 million job holders, and the average family income will rise nearly 50 percent from the late Sixties, to about 13,800 $ annually.. Also, the population mix will change. The population between ages 19 and 40 will increase about 25 percent in this decade, while there will be a decrease in the number of children between five and 14. These are a couple of the interesting tidbits which came out of the recent Food Editors’ Conference held in . Back to population mix once again. A couple of things should be mentioned, which will present a challenging marketing opportunity for food distributors. First, single people are waiting longer periods before they decide to plunge into married life. Secondly, the population of elder­ ly, or senior citizens is increasing, at a time the children have left home to start their own life style. While speaking before the graduate class in home economics recently at Wayne State University, one of the major complaints about food stores was that not enough smaller sized cans and packages are avail­ able for the small families or single people living by themselves. The gals felt everything was geared to families numbering four or more. Perhaps the time is here for merchants to devote more attention to (1) the growing number of single persons, and (2) the increasing senior citizen population. Smart merchandisers, and many have already begun, can see the advantage of adding still another new department to the food store: one featuring products in the small portion sizes. Sure, the cost per unit of these products are higher, but the consumer purchasing them, I’m sure, realizes this. Another new food store department? Why not, if the demand is there!

Merchants have been doing this for years anyway, but, for the most part it has primarily been “guess­ timates.” With proper equipment as the Department has access to. and the use of modem computers, a little research would go a long way in providing shrink­ age guides — all for the betterment of consumers, and to aid distributors in performing better service.
