Best Buy Branches Out Into Non-Traditional Sectors Amid Post-Pandemic Slowdown

Image
The   COVID-19 pandemic   has begun lessening its burden on consumers and, as a result, the consumer electronics sector, which enjoyed booming demand as people looked to entertain themselves at home, faces a more challenging retail landscape. To accommodate this shift,   Best Buy , which is known for its retail operations in smartphones, laptops, and   TVs , has decided that it will branch out into   less traditional electronics   sectors such as   electric bikes   and beauty gadgets.  Just today, the retail behemoth announced that it would carry 100 new skin-care devices, both online and at nearly 300 of its brick-and-mortar store locations. This expansion comes as Best Buy expects to see a 1-4 percent regression in sales over the coming year.

For the rest of the year, the most important resolve is to learn about the following areas to improve the customer experience and beat out the competition.

Inflation-Weary Consumers Opting for More Affordable Store Brands

Image
  THE DAILY SCOPE, 4/4/2022: The grocery and CPG retail business is often a harbinger of things to come – maybe it’s just because everyone buys food, even non-TV households – so it’s a good place to gauge the mood of consumers. After a pandemic that started with shortages of household goods like toilet paper and cleaning supplies, the current lineup of basics isn’t exactly flying off the shelves. The Wall St. Journal reports that consumers are returning to store brands and buying smaller quantities of everything from laundry detergent to cereal. With shortages during the pandemic, many retailers upped their production on in-store brands, so that move dovetails nicely with the need for more affordable products. There is no indication that this trend is particularly rampant in the CE retail sector, but the category most likely to be enticing for consumers looking to save money could be accessories like cables, power solutions, and power adapters. This could be a g...

A Visit to New York’s JBL Store

Image
  Located on one of the busiest corners of New York City’s vibrant SoHo neighborhood, the new JBL Store shines a hip yet approachable light on the eponymous audio brand’s portable, gaming, and party speaker products. We asked Jamie Feuss, the Director, Retail Store Experience at Harman International, about the audio company’s distinctive approach to brand storytelling and retail at both its JBL and Harman Stores across the globe. What’s the history of Harman as a retailer, including the JBL Store? I was brought in when Harman wanted to launch a store back in 2013. My background was not just Tweeter for many years; I was also with Apple retail. So I spent a good amount of time out in that world of tech and electronics and opening up new stores in new parts of the country. Harman was obviously a manufacturer only then, and I was drafted to figure out where we should build stores. My first suggestion was that we needed to build a store in SoHo, but for a lot of reasons, we ended up p...

Why the Pandemic Bested Retail Inventory Capacity

Image
As we all know, the pandemic put a major strain on retailers’ inventory capacities and led to a series of shortages that have plagued the industry for the past two years. But, how was an industry that is so often on the cutting edge of technology and business strategy crippled by one of its most basic tenets: getting products to customers? According to Nikki Baird, Vice President of Strategy at Apos, the typical retailer only keeps roughly 30 percent of its inventory reserved for eCommerce. In an interview with Forbes , Baird went on to say that, “for nonessential retailers that didn’t have omnichannel systems and processes in place, when their stores were temporarily closed and e-commerce volumes skyrocketed, all they had available to sell was the limited inventory sitting in their e-commerce warehouses. Once that stock ran out, if they didn’t have the ability to tap into their store inventory, they were left with virtually nothing to sell.” In other news, Ring, ...
