A lot of retailers will ride the avenue and see what other retailers are doing and they'll base their price on that.
Billy Shoemaker
This Christmas season, Best Buy was selling CDs for less than what I was paying. You can't stay in business long when giant retailers are selling below their cost.
Rik Helton
The timing is perfect because spring and summer for us is like the holiday season for other retailers. When the sun comes out, that's when you build your deck or paint your house.
Kathryn Gallagher
Of particular interest was that the respondents were less influenced by customer service and or the physical store facility. Traditionally, retailers invest heavily in these areas to differentiate themselves.
John Rittenhouse
Some publishers have been concerned that consumers wouldn't support a move to recycled paper, especially if it caused a price increase. But this survey definitely indicates strong consumer support. It's big news for publishers, retailers and recycled paper providers.
Noelle Skodzinski
So, it's a win-win for the consumer, a win-win for the state and also a win-win for the retailers. We hope that gets reauthorized.
John Heavener
We're going into the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, and this is where the retailers, at least, are going to make it up. The GDP figures that are boosted by consumer spending remain to be seen.
Paula Stern
You really notice it during the holiday season, when retailers open earlier and stay open later.
Patrice Duker
It is a challenging problem for retailers. I think you're going to see retailers reacting to this trend by using technology as a deterrent. There's a high level of awareness around the retail public already.
Daniel Butler
We're continuing to add retailers, ... We're on pace where about 10 retailers per week are being licensed.
Gary Peters
Shops and retailers in general won't rush to replenish their inventory. Commerce remains stagnant.
Tatiana Pinheiro
CRM is of increasing importance to retailers for several different reasons. There are no longer any market borders. It's becoming more difficult to have product differentiation, there's an accelerated product life cycle, and it's becoming more difficult to survive in the market.
Janet Murphy
It was an odd-shaped store. The physical configuration of that space just wouldn't work with the two new retailers.
Jamie Grofik
It has been the Achilles heel for online retailers over the last couple of years. Many had items out of stock, or they were taking too long to deliver, or it was taking too long to shop.
David Schatsky
Overall...we see some winners in the electronics, apparel and footwear categories as retailers kick off fall 2005.
Marie Driscoll
Most retailers only advertise 5 percent of their products. We can let them advertise all of them.
Tim Armstrong
Under current circumstances, it will be very easy for retailers to widen their margins, and many of them are already adding more floor space in stores, which will help boost growth.
Du Plessis
Retailers may have struggled to clear through certain cold-weather seasonal items, perhaps resulting in deeper markdowns on those items.
Neely Tamminga
What we saw was a likely bifurcation of retailers this holiday season, with those catering to affluent consumers doing very well. The balance of retailers had to work harder for sales and do more discounting.
Wayne Best
Retailers have been pinning their hopes on Christmas bringing some festive cheer after months of depressed trading, and these figures are better than expected. They reflect the efforts made to entice customers back into shops, but the question is at what cost as prices are so heavily discounted.
John Longworth
There's quite a lot of promotional activity out there, more than last year. Retailers are desperate to maximize their footfall and recognize that in order to do that they need to give people a significant incentive to come into their stores.
Richard Hyman
We believe that retailers, in general, were too aggressive clearing out cold-weather merchandise during the unseasonably warm January.
Stacy Turnof
I think a lot of retailers were playing it a bit more conservative. If you look at it three years ago, everyone was overflowing with inventories and then just stuck with it at the end. Retailers, including ourselves, have played it a bit more conservative with our orders.
Alan Marcus
With most companies you'd look at this insanity and say they're creating havoc -- creating more SKUs for retailers, muddying up the market -- but this is franchise marketing. Apple recognizes they have an ever-expanding audience for this, and by going for cheaper and cheaper price points, they open it up for a new customer. I don't know anyone that doesn't have one [or] that doesn't want one.
Rob Sabin
One of the things that has been weighing us down has been the retailers and to have a piece of good news from one of the better known names has been a bit of a relief.
Richard Hunter
They were off most people's radar for a long time and we were constantly hearing from smaller retailers who were blowing through the product. It's clear that in certain markets, this brand was almost a cult hit. It's more of a middle America story, but I think they look at bigger markets as having growth potential.
Michael Atmore
We developed this display kit after talking to a number of retailers about their needs. Space limitations are always a concern for any point-of-purchase display, so we opted to develop a display that took advantage of a retailer's unused space. You're basically making money from your air.
Todd Carter
Retailers who plan properly can leverage capabilities across some of these smaller, closely located countries and gain a distinct advantage.
Fadi Farra
A lot of retailers are likely to stop selling it already, and if the company stops shipping it, it is just as good as a recall although not official.
Milton Hsu
It is our belief that it is quite simply too early to assign a grade to the retailer's enforcement policies.
Hal Halpin
On average, 80 percent of people receive of about $2,000 in refunds. You can allocate a portion of that refund onto gift cards from participating retailers for everyday purchases.
Brad Henske
The biggest problem has been increased competition from retailers like Target. In my opinion, Target's home furnishing offerings are as good if not better than Pier 1's and more competitively priced.
Anthony Chukumba
We'll bring in some fabulous Worth Avenue-quality retailers and a great restaurant.
David Barton
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety of presenting their financial information online and would like payment choices. It is up to the retailers to address these concerns and look at new alternatives for making shopping safer, faster and easier.
Vince Talbert
Retailers (now) want to be very visible from the roads they don't want (their customers) to have to traverse the mall to get there.
Malachy Kavanagh
I would say the market is certainly full in terms of retail, but there are retailers that feel that they need a presence here and they need to compete.
Andrew Dollinger
We continue to refine all the things we do, be it working with retailers or refining things like ticket dispensers.
Rebecca Paul
Anheuser-Busch fourth-quarter sales-to-retailers were better than trend but not strong enough versus expectations.
John Faucher
They (retailers) don't know. All they can do is hope and guess more than anything else. It's a brutal, brutal problem.
Kurt Barnard
They were too old for retailers.
Harry Palmer
What they really hope is that the weather cooperates, that the consumer gets out early and shops, and they [retailers] don't have to wait ... and mark down some of their goods to move sales.
Malachy Kavanagh
The reality is retailers will not increase their inventories or order advertising until the governor does sign the bill.
Bill Herrle
Things have gotten a lot better. All of a sudden, this is becoming a hot area. We've got retailers coming to us as opposed to us having to beg.
David Roderique
We heard commentary from several retailers that is consistent with what we have heard from industry contacts over the past six weeks: Inventory is expected to flow better in late February, and by late March inventory levels should be consistently filled.
Pj Mcnealy
At the end of the day, with oil touching $70 a barrel, that is not good for the consumer. When we are all paying more at the pump to fill our cars, that's less disposable spending that we all have to spend at retailers.
Alan Rifkin
Our leasing team works in conjunction with the property management team to find potential retail prospects that would fit with the demographic we are trying to attract. [They are] responsible for finding who is out there for retailers looking for space.
Amy Daniels
With most companies you'd look at this insanity and say they're creating havoc, creating more SKUs for retailers, muddying up the market. But this is franchise marketing: Apple recognizes they have an ever-expanding audience for this, and by going for cheaper and cheaper price points, they open it up for a new customer. I don't know anyone that doesn't have one, that doesn't want one.
Rob Sabin
We have what I consider an all star lineup of national retailers.
Chris Brochert
In the last four months, it's happened three times, just out of the blue, so we have a feeling the retail market is ready to be downtown. The retailers are the ones calling.
John Bacon
Manhattan Associates is dedicated to helping retailers make their supply chains more efficient and effective to meet customer expectations. With our broad and deep solution footprint for supply chain management and our focused commitment to this market, we continue to make advancements and deliver solutions that today's companies need.
Pete Sinisgalli
High quality retailers are chasing good locations so huge demand exists for that type of real estate. And look at what hotels have done since 9/11. They've done a wonderful job of bringing their occupancy rates up.
Joseph Betlej
Something that's attractive for one customer could be a recipe for disaster for another. It comes down to what you envision for your customer. Just adopting wholesale what other retailers do is not going to do it.
Janet Murphy
Yes. Retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy and Wal-Mart, who will carry whatever sells.
Vamsi Sistla
I would buy good retailers - especially on dips.
Alan Hoffman
Trading has been pretty steady so it looks as though it's been a good Boxing Day for retailers around New Zealand today.
Barry Hellberg
Frustration tends to lead to abandoned baskets. And that's a big cost to retailers.
Kent Porter
Companies (retailers) are being very cautious about their guidance for the second quarter, so we're not completely taking it to heart that these (strong sales) results will carry through.
Richard Baum
Most retailers are busy putting out fires all day. They have to spend their time working in their business, rather than on their business.
Allan Katz
Retailers are playing a cat and mouse game, ... they try to build their margins back up, but then have to reverse price increases.
Jonathan Loynes
My view on inflation is we'll continue to get reports like this, and the biggest numbers we'll get are 0.1s and 0.2s, ... U.S. consumers just turn it off when they see the prices go up, as happened last month with cars, so it's going to be hard for retailers to sustain any major price increases.
Kurt Karl
Our vision for the Chinese market is to continue our efforts on increased distribution with China's leading retailers. The expectation for Jamieson Laboratories is a significant increase in awareness and in sales of our products in Asian markets over the next year.
Bill Tyler
The window of opportunity is open today for American specialty retailers to come in and establish their brand either through franchising, licensing deals or distribution partnerships.
Fadi Farra
Hard electronic retailers, like Best Buy, are seeing more of the tax refund dollars than specialty retailers.
Dana L. Telsey
It also has a very low price. A lot of retailers went because they were able to get that national service at a low price.
Chaille Brindley
It doesn't seem to matter that this country is swimming in grossly overbuilt retail space. Retailers have become bolder with their requests [for public money].
Greg Leroy
The Gap ( GPS : Research , Estimates ) is a very interesting one. A lot of apparel manufacturers have a problem selling to independent retailers, a real channel conflict. The Gap has an exclusive brand that they sell through a proprietary distribution channel. They can really focus the Internet on that - on that exclusive chain.
David Dwyer
Whenever you have an evergreen property like Superman, retailers will enjoy enormous success…because recognition is so high.
Kelly Gilmore
Although we had a strong Thanksgiving, up 23 percent at our top five U.S. accounts, retailers have determined that they would rather drastically reduce their inventory levels than capture incremental sales. This has negatively impacted our sales by approximately $350 million this year.
Jill E. Barad
If they don?t raise rates, I will be worried. It tells me that they are very concerned and know something about the economy, I don?t. And that could push all the cyclicals and retailers down.
James Paulsen
There has been an incredible increase in the number of retailers who are throwing up their hands and saying, 'That's it, we are going to require prepay until we can figure out another way,'.
Jeff Lenard
The commission that we give the retailers is going to be nickel-dime, compared to the additional tax revenue that the state as a whole would receive.
Chuck Keller
Christmas proved to be less difficult than people were expecting. Retailers expected a dull Christmas, so they didn't overstock and have had less discounting to do.
Andrew Bell
We wish we did not have to take this action, but we must protect the First Amendment rights of video game retailers and distributors and their customers.
Bo Andersen
Retailers continue to report good sales momentum in the post-holiday period, bolstered by gift card redemptions.
Michelle Girard
This year, online retailers will be capitalizing on the increased traffic by offering special promotions and discounts.
Scott Silverman
Don?t try to act like alternative retailers. Do what?s in the best interest of consumers and rethink center store.
Richard George
Most of the retailers in our center are reasonably optimistic. Nobody's seeing the headlines of Armageddon that were appearing several months ago.
Keith Campbell
We still believe a single format would be less confusing and more efficient for retailers.
Amanda Tate
Because suppliers and retailers need to be able to communicate with one another, data exchange standards that would allow them to communicate more effectively are also evolving.
Cyndy Renfrow
Most businesspeople are properly skeptical of government programs labeled 'streamlined,' ... I'm skeptical of the burden this is placing on some smaller businesses. I'm skeptical of government's efforts to force retailers to charge taxes for an incredible number of municipalities around the country.
Patrick Anderson
They are destination retailers. They like to foster cross-shopping.
Jim Kovacs
The redevelopment of Laurel Mall will certainly benefit from a large company like General (Growth), which has major contacts with most retailers, and deals with them in multiple leases from a number of locations.
Karl Brendle
Obviously those retailers on the border will be affected.
Jill Vaughan
Most retailers made major mistakes of putting their distribution centers at greater distances from each other when energy prices came down and stayed stable in the 80s and 90s . Retailers are long-hauling freight anywhere from 300 to 700 miles. With 50 cents a mile for a 20-ton diesel freight truck, it adds up.
Burt Flickinger
We're not going to do that. I think the retailers would go nuts.
Pam Walker
Though China's textiles and clothes might impact local textile manufacturers, they will bring more profits to local purchasers, retailers and consumers.
Han Licheng
It's still a little early to start looking. Even retailers can only go so far ahead of schedule.
Cynthia Eichler
It's great to see traditional control and custom market leaders like Vantage along with custom newcomers like EI and Intel bringing digital technology platforms to the forefront at EHX. There's no doubt, EHX is the place for custom integrators and retailers to get a handle on the technology changes that are revolutionizing our industry.
John Galante
We do special promotions for retailers who are having anniversaries. We also do promotions [at retailers] to increase sales.
Sherry Maragos
Consumers are beginning to feel the impact of higher oil prices in their pockets. Less confidence means less spending and no wonder we have been seeing shares of retailers and banks faltering.
Larry Peruzzi
The retailers want to be on the street now.
Michael Beyard
This recent shift towards gift cards that retailers don't count until they're redeemed in January...and the (formerly governing) Liberals' tax cuts should support first-quarter consumer spending.
Ted Carmichael
It probably almost for sure will top its U.S. box office. It'll probably be closer to $400 million by the time it's done. Even if retailers are discounting it as a way to bring in customers, Disney isn't discounting the wholesale price.
Scott Hettrick
Those guys are very formidable retailers. Being that we're involved more in perishables than anything else and on the health side, we can definitely co-exist.
Seth Brown
Retailers have come through with very solid reports. We felt that the drop in gas prices would help. More importantly, we saw the weather shift, which really helped in the last week of the month.
Donald Gher
The specialty retailers have outperformed the mass merchandise chains this time, ... The question for me is, 'Could spending on the discretionary group finally be picking up?'
Jeffrey Klinefelter
This is a hundreds of billions of dollars industry, with the majority of profit coming from in-store sales. A lot of retailers have lost money.
John Eichberger
Significant inventory contraction by U.S. retailers.
Estee Lauder
Retailers are going to be positive in November, but that's really because of the calendar shift.
Eric M. Beder
[The Secret Service is] engaged in enforcement and public education -- educating banks, retailers, money handlers and the general public. It's vital that we keep the banking industry up to speed on identifying and authenticating bills.
Eric Zahren
Retailers like Target are increasing their merchandise space to go with this trend. They are just offering lower-end products.
Elliot Gordon
The number-one aspect of the shopping season this year will be sales and promotions. If retailers can deliver good sales and promotions, consumers will buy.
Ellen Tolley
It seems like this year it hasn't been as much of a challenge for retailers to find good quality holiday help. It seems like this year there are a lot of people out there looking for part-time work as well as full-time jobs. It's a great opportunity for people to make additional income and get their foot in the door.
Ellen Tolley
These discounts are too good to pass up. But we think that these are planned sales and not at the expense of retailers' profits.
Ellen Tolley
Many retailers find that moving their business online brings them an entirely different set of customers than they would have found in their local market.
Ellen Davis
Small retailers don't have that kind of a luxury. That said, smaller retailers usually have a better pulse on their stores.
Ellen Davis
If you really want it, you better buy it when you see it. Last year, most consumers procrastinated. This year, retailers will try to get people in early with great deals and deep discounts.
Ellen Davis
It is representative of the industry at large. About 12-to-18 months ago, there was this common belief amongst retailers that in order to have longevity and a long-standing business, we all need to be considering multi-channel operations. This is what consumers are going to demand of us.
Elaine Rubin
You'll find that diesel fuel is on the rise, too. So prices on food, dry goods and general merchandise at retailers will go up because it's more expensive to get it here.
Edward Deak
We can create many local jobs if all retailers were to take advantage of local capacity. We have willing workers and idle industrial capacity.
