How did Local Retailer Survive Coronavirus Crisis? Here’s the Solution from Sadad

Every retailer wants to create and manage a successful business, expanding commercially and geographically in order to avoid challenges and problems.

Before we get to know those challenges and problems, we should first define retailer and retail.

Retailer:

A person who links between producers and consumers.

Retail:

The process of selling products to people who consumes product not reselling it.

Here’s the most important challenges facing retailer due to dealing directly with customers:

• Customer expectations changes constantly:

Customer opinions always change faster than you expect. As a retailer you have to accept those changes in customer preferences by keeping pace with trends understanding customer shopping behaviour.

• Customer loyalty:

Customers develop their loyalty due to pleasure, experience and trust they got in your brand much more than your product advantages.

One of the biggest challenges for your business growth is losing your customers to competitors which they fulfil all of their desires.

• Constant presence:

Whom are working in retail stores have to wait for customer to come. Therefore, they have to stay in store continuously during working hours of weekdays, weekends and holidays.

• Product presentation:

Retailer have to be fully aware of product details knowing what it is used for, how to use and how to maintain. All of this data should keep in mind. Arranging products on your shelves only does not guarantee purchases.
