Ⅳ Appendices 附录
It seems a straightforward decision, doesn't it? Display and selling space in any store is always limited. So a retailer can enhance his profits by doing this. But how? And which one? It's back to the same question about pricing and competition. We generally deter- mine what the ideal mix of brand and price should be for a store. And the basic approach we use, is to go through the entire line of products, deleting each in turn, determining the impact this has, then restoring each to the line. Like if you'll remove one of some- thing, what happens to its market share? Will the customers simply buy the competing product closest in price, or do they stay with the brand but move to the next product up or down in the line? Or do they go elsewhere to find the product? We had a store manager who carried among other things seven different brands of electric mixers. We started with the brand A mixer, which had a 10.6 percent market share. When we eliminated it from the line, we found that 4.2 percent of the customers went to one model from brand B, but the remaining 6.4 percent was split among three different models from brand C. Well, brand D to G ran unaffected.
