Store loyalty

Another factor, which may influence the realistic concentration data, is store loyalty, which is in reality a sub-set of brand loyalty. This applies in those situations where for whatever reasons, such as lack of mobility, the consumer is effectively forced to purchase from a local store. If they purchase own brand foodstuffs and if these foodstuffs have a different concentration of the migrant data set compared to the overall concentration data compiled during a survey, such as the FSA BADGE survey (2000), then it is necessary to ensure that if the concentration data are higher the consumers who purchase only own brands are protected. It could be argued that if the concentration data are lower, then these data should also be used. 

Besides, Tesco introduced IT system that fostered collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) in 1999. Sharing of information using CPFR led to reduce the response time. Suppliers obtained Tesco customer needs and led to produce the appropriate goods. Thus, the use of information became more important in logistics.

Reducing the incidence of out-of-stocks at the point of sale (increase in on-shelf availability) improves the service to the consumer and reduces lost sales. Furthermore, the continued availability of the products increases consumer satisfaction and therefore benefits store loyalty for the retailer and the product loyalty for the manufacturer.

In Mexico, safflower oil occupied a preferred status for many years in grocery stores catering to the affluent. When first produced in Mexico, a sizable portion of the safflower oil produced was used as an adulterant in sesame oil. Over time, safflower became the premier oil in the marketplace and puw cartamo would command a substantial premium. Safflower oil itself soon began to be adulterated with sunflower and other oils, and eventually consumers became aware of this and switched loyalty to branded oils that were cheaper. Little safflower oil is found in Mexico because it is generally exported to the United States or Europe, and lower priced sunflower, canola, or soybean oil is imported in its place.

Second, product differentiation can be a barrier to entry. Possible entrants have to compete with the loyalties that estabhshed firms have created by their store format and brand. Increasing differentiation of the international operating supermarket chains is a major development (Colla, 2004). Thus, a consumer can choose a supermarket that fits best with his own preferences, because in general he can choose between different retailers. 

Control of women. Coal towns provided scarce employment opportunities for women, and these were carefully allocated on the basis of perceived loyalty to the company. Women who passed muster could find jobs as housekeepers and cooks in the company-mn hotel or in the homes of mine managers or local professionals. Others could work as health aides in the hospital, teach in the schools, or work as clerks in the company store. Often a woman s access to paid employment was linked to her husband s cordial relationship with mine management. When a miner was injured, his wife most often nursed his wounds, for if he became disabled, the entire family could lose its home and livelihood. Thus, both the paid and unpaid work of women supported the operation of model towns in the coalfields. 

Different Distribution Chaimels have different implications. First, as the beauty advisors at the department stores or specialty stores have in-depth knowledge about different products of a specific brand, these beauty advisors can provide professional advice that would enhance the perceived brand image as well as brand loyalty.
