Retailer Brands - Lessons from UK and what it takes
Retailers are assuming that consumers will embrace retailer-owned brands. They may be in for a big surprise. Hopefully, being sensible, they will have researched this move. Not to do so would be naive. It is suggested that Stephen Cain, when at Coles, was behind the plan to move to a higher percentage of retailer-owned brands. Maybe, but it is worth pointing out that his experience of UK food retailing was with ASDA - a committed EDLP strategist. ASDA increased its percentage sales of retail brands in recent years by relying on PRICE not VALUE. There is a difference!
Lessons to learn from the book Good to Great
While the companies in the book Good to Great are large publicly owned corporations I believe that many of its lessons can be applied to small, privately owned businesses. I regularly recommend it as essential reading to our clients, who are all small business entrepreneurs. Here are some of the lessons to be learnt from Good to Great.
Multi-brand strategies - pitfalls and pluses
As franchising grows in Australia so does the number of franchisors that operate more than the one brand. Rod Young from DC Strategy discusses the multiple-brand strategy. They may be disparate brands, not related to each other except they occupy retail shopping centre space. For example, the Pets Paradise, Warner Bros. Studios (all company owned) and Billy Baxter’s Coffee Shops are all controlled by the one group. Alternatively, and more commonly, multiple brands in related industries such as the Donut King and BB’s Café brands owned by Retail Food Group, the Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue brands owed by Foodco Group, and the Drytron and Bizzi Beez brands owned by Fibrecare Group, are long established multi-branded networks.

Prior Business Experience Can Be Helpful When Starting a Small Business
We recently worked with a client who wanted to open a new restaurant. After several discussions, we learned that not only had she owned one restaurant but she had owned several restaurants in the past and had sold her last one in the late 90's. Would she still be considered a start up business?

Make it easy for your customers to buy!
If you want your customers to spend with you why not make it easy? This may seem obvious to you, but it is not always obvious to most business owners and I would like to get you thinking a bit here. Let me explain by example... I have just got back from a break myself and the guy that owned the apartments also owned the small supermarket down the road. The apartments were self catering so it would be good for the owner if the people staying there were to cook food and purchased from his shop. When we arrived he took time to mention his shop so that we would visit, which we duly did and I am sure you are waiting for the but here...and there is and not just one the way I see it.
