Price reductions on essential products is a well-thought-out approach for Stop & Shop, particularly in the current economic environment. Reducing prices on a wide range of private label and national brand products, especially staples like chicken, butter, and yogurt, will attract price-conscious shoppers. Given inflationary pressures, this move directly addresses consumers’ need to save on everyday essentials, fostering loyalty. The addition of kiosks to help shoppers access and activate digital coupons will simplify the shopping experience, especially for those who may not be as tech-savvy. By bridging the gap between physical stores and digital savings, Stop & Shop will enhance accessibility for all shoppers, boosting engagement with its loyalty program. Focusing on Rhode Island initially allows Stop & Shop to test and refine its strategy before potentially rolling it out to other regions. This localized approach can have a noticeable impact on market share in that specific area, especially given the competitive grocery landscape. This strategy shows a clear focus on customer needs, improving affordability, and enhancing the shopping experience, making it a potentially strong move for Stop & Shop as they aim to regain their competitive edge.

I just got back from speaking at a conference in Anaheim. The first two days of my hotel stay were about $450 a night. However, when I asked to add one more night's stay (on a Wednesday) to make a meeting, the rate went up to $1,500 because the number of available rooms decreased. I tried talking to the manager about the steep increase, but he said it was all handled by computer now. I wasn't happy about it, but I couldn't fault them for maximizing what the market would bear.? The theory of dynamic pricing approaches—like those used by Uber's surge pricing on rainy days, last-minute ticket purchases on airlines, or concert tickets at arenas—has been discussed for years as a possible approach for grocery stores to consider. However, the challenge has been when, where, and how to experiment with this approach. The arrival of digital price tag displays could provide that opportunity. On one level, these digital displays are an operational efficiency measure that will reduce time-consuming labor. However, they could also be used as a much easier and quicker way to test price elasticity on shelves and revolutionize how stores price and sell their products by offering a dynamic and responsive approach to market conditions. While this approach has not been implemented yet, it doesn't take much to consider the implications dynamic pricing could have on specific grocery items like meat, bread, and produce. What if the prices for these items fluctuated as they approached their expiration date, or what if they increased as demand depletes inventory? Could the last two diaper packages turn into a bidding war, similar to my hotel room increase? Or could this new technology help curb food waste and staff inefficiencies? Will prices surge during peak shopping hours or on weekends, or will they help drop prices on goods when there's excess stock? We're not far from finding out. Walmart, the nation’s leading grocer by sales, recently announced plans to expand “digital shelf labels” to 2,300 stores nationwide by 2026. They've publicly stated they won't use dynamic pricing, and I trust this commitment from them and most stores I work with. However, other chains might consider incorporating dynamic pricing into a digital ticker tape shelf display that fluctuates throughout the day based on supply and demand. Only time will tell. #grocerystores #supermarkets #foodretail #retail #business #pricing #strategy #consumers #pricing #marketing #management

Online grocery shopping positives and negatives. I have been buying my groceries mostly this way since covid forced lockdowns within Australia. I have continued doing this ever since. The main positive for me is saving time. I have better things to do than tramping around a shopping mall or grocery store. I still go to these mostly for entertainment and dining experiences. One of the negatives is the current set-up faults for online grocery shopping. 1. Despite usually ordering up to a week in advance, most deliveries are short or non-available when they deliver. This is because order is not picked until shortly before delivery. You can allow them to use substitutes if they have them but for me these do not always suit dietary needs or choice. This often requires me to still have to visit a store to meet my needs! 2. I am not sure if pickers follow some set rules, but it seems picking dented cans, oldest stock and lowest quality seems the rule. As such I no longer buy fresh meat, fruit, vegetables or deli items by this method. 3. Goods are often damaged before delivery. Loose lids on chemical items leak mostly as they lay these sideways to fit in their trays. Eggs are broken and some packaged items ripped. They usually refund on such items when reported though. 4. Delivery can be loose or in paper bags (you pay extra for this). If loose more chance of damage, if bagged the bags are too weak and too small to practically reuse. I put mine into recycle bin. As to overall cost this probably depends on how much you value your time. You do save some pennies depending on how far you must travel to the store. There are always few staff present and self-checkout seems to be the norm but even there you often must queue. Customer service is one thing that is lacking in most modern-day shopping experiences. Online Grocery Retailers take note of the above criticisms, improving on these will increase your business. #online #grocery #retail

There aren’t many aspects of life in England that I actively miss here in Germany, but online grocery shopping is definitely at the top of my list. Visiting retail shops every week is such a waste of time. C’mon Ocado Group this is a market ripe for #digitaldisruption - and Kaufland e-commerce - it’s 2024 not 1984 - you need to deliver fresh groceries to homes across Germany and as a first step start to offer “click & collect”.
