In order to retain and increase your store customer base vs other retail channels and other pharmacies, you need to play to your retail point of difference. Here’s how, according to Norrelle Goldring of ShopAbility, for Retail Pharmacy Magazine.
Back in June last year we discussed how pharmacies are retail stores and thus in competition with other retail types. And that you need to determine your retail point of difference is, then find the right tools and platforms to promote it.
Here we’re going to look at what the different retail positions are so you can identify which one/s are right for you to use.

ShopAbility has partnered with the Bevington Group, Australian structure and process change leaders. Here, Bevington’s Roger Perry discusses the ‘Business Operating Model’, why and how it is applied, for Retail World Magazine.
In my last article I discussed the importance of thinking about the design of a business. I encouraged you not just to rely on fast cost cutting, but to think about what the real drivers of low value activity are. I encouraged you to think about whether there were better ways to design your business.

Or, how bottleshops can drive profits by picking up their game on the different types of persuasive sell, according to Norrelle Goldring of ShopAbility, for National Liquor News.
In the last issue I was bemoaning the lack of persuasive selling in bottleshops and how nobody ever seems to bother to sell me anything additional to increase their average basket spend.
Consider that, in supermarkets at least, 85% of shoppers add to their shopping list. In bottleshops whilst 2/3 have planned their category and brand, at least 30% haven’t. This leaves room for influencing purchase (as well as getting an additional item in the basket).

In New Zealand, the major two supermarket retailer groups don’t compete overtly on price. So how do they differentiate themselves? Norrelle Goldring from ShopAbility and Ruth Money from Apollo Marketing provide an overview of the NZ grocery market, for Retail World Magazine.
On the face of it, the New Zealand supermarket channel looks similar to the Australian one: a highly consolidated market with two big players who have the vast majority share between them. But in NZ each of the supermarket retail groups are rowing their own boats, with mixed results.
Below we overview the NZ grocery market, what each of the major players is doing, and some two-way lessons from across the ditch.

Norrelle Goldring of ShopAbility provides context around the US convenience market, and what can be applied to convenience retailing in Australia, for Convenience World Magazine.
Being the creators of the modern highway system, the US is traditionally considered the home of fuel based convenience stores, as well as anything drive thru, including weddings and banks … but interestingly, no drivethru bottleshops. For many retail channels, store formats and store chains the USA is considered global best practice. However for convenience channel retailing, I think there are as many things they can learn from us, as much as we from them.
