-Each question has four suggested answers or ways of finishing the sentence A,B,C and D
-Mark one letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet, for the answer you choose.
Horners Department Store
Horners is a familiar name on the UK´s high streets, operating from 32 department stores situated in prime city center locations or out of town retail parks. Although some competitors have successfully branched out into gourmet ready-to-eat foods or experimented with financial services. Horners has chosen to specialize in the clothing, accessories and home product markets. By offering a range of competitively-priced merchandise of a high standard to its customers Horners has become one of the country´s favourite departments stores.
Over recent years there has been a steady decline in the number of the UK department stores which do not belong to a chain. On the other hand the top three nation al department store groups account for an increasing proportion of the department store market. This clearly reflects their ability to make a success of this retailing format in the UK. Horners is a market leader within this group, differentiating itself from its main competitors as a large space clothing-led retailer offering its own, as well as international brands.
The creation of an attractive selling environment is one of the most important aspects of successful retailing. Horners has devoted a significant amount of management time to providing highly visual and efficient environment which makes shopping there a pleasure. Exciting and creative merchandise stands provide each section with a clearly distinguishable look, and these are frequently updated in all stores.
Department stores can appeal to people of all age groups. From teenagers to money conscious pensioners, but they are particularly popular with the 3—50 age category. Consumers here are generally in the higher income groups and are more demanding in terms of quality of service they expect. This age group is expected to account for an increasing proportion of the overall population over the next decade. By the year 2015 this age group is projected to grow by five times as much as the total population.
We aim ti give our customers the widest possible product choice, and we have been highly successful in developing our own brands, which now account for almost 50 per cent of sale. We have also recently commissioned a number of leading designers, who are designing additional clothing, accessories and home furnishing lines to suit our customer profile. Despite the lack of TV commercials or newspaper advertisements, these exclusive ranges are already attracting new customers into the stores through innovative online advertising. We are also considering running magazine adverts. To maximize the profit generated by each store, we at Horners constantly monitor and adjust the allocation of retail space dedicated to each of these product categories.
