Mid-Sized Retailers Battle Big-Boxes for Market Share, Purchasing Power
New Intesource Report Outlines Strategies for Staying Competitive and Improving Profits
(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/13 -- Mid-sized retailers' and grocers' profit margins continue to shrink under increased pressure and competition from big-box retailers, according to a new report by Intesource, the company.
In 2000, grocery stores accounted for two-thirds of U.S. grocery purchases. Today, they barely claim half of the . The competition comes from large, global retailers that leverage immense purchasing power to dictate market terms, and make it difficult for smaller retailers to compete on price and supply.
A new market report from Intesource -- "" -- will help mid-sized retailers fight back. Available now on , the report outlines sourcing strategies to unlock new savings, improve margins, and drive sales, including:
that differentiate retail brands and introduce customers to new and exciting products.
to provide more value and better contractual terms -- even when you are satisfied with current supplier relationships.
to build stronger supplier partnerships that drive savings and reduce risk.
"Lacking the purchasing power of a Wal-Mart or Target, smaller retailers are exposed to volatile prices, rising costs and shrinking consumer incomes," said Brian Miller, VP of Services at Intesource. "To stay competitive in this market, retailers must lean on their supply chains for growth and cost-saving opportunities."
