Because the Sephora flagship store is located in New York, customers often expect to come in and out quickly, and if the product is not there, they may not patronize the store again, because of the availability of other retailers only a few stores away. This is why keeping detailed information about its inventory is essential. Inventory strategists closely monitor the numbers flow of various products throughout the store. Sephora cultivates a relationship with its brands even before brand appears in the store, negotiating exclusivity contracts and how to position the product.
Discussion 3
One surprising, anecdotal observation is that quite often the lowest-priced milk in cities is not in low-income areas, but in more affluent places. Low-income residents often have less mobility to select where they shop, due to economic constraints (a lack of money for public transportation, for example) and retailers take full advantage of this fact, when they sell to low-income communities....
However, the problem with 'big box' low-cost retailers is that while they may provide jobs and lower-cost items to community residents, they seldom provide benefits or the ability of residents to become upwardly mobile. Residents are often relegated to low-paying, entry level jobs. Sometimes they have to work two part time jobs (without benefits) to stay afloat. Because the retailers sell at a slightly lower cost, based upon economies of scale, their employees buy their goods there, thus creating a self-perpetuating cycle where employee dollars fuel the existence of the company, even while it oppresses them in terms of their wages and benefits. Instead, city councils should give tax breaks to community residents wishing to start their own local businesses within the area, especially if their proposed enterprises serve a community need, like providing healthy food at a reasonable cost. Councils should also aggressively monitor illegal 'gouging' for products such as milk or gas in low-income areas.
Direct marketing is another important area of product launching and research. Currently, the Crest White strips website asks individuals if they would like to participate in a survey regarding the project, upon entry, when accessing the part of the website known as "Ask Dr. Jeff." (Ask Dr. Jeff, Official Website, 2004) A new area of the site could be redefined -- instead of the clinical picture of the globe that

Colgate Palmolive's toothpaste and toothbrush business is a mature market in most countries, with limited growth prospects. The company is positioned at the high end of the market with its flagship Colgate lines, and this positioning is supported by extensive marketing campaigns aimed at bolstering the brand. The company has responded to this by focusing its efforts on growth in emerging markets. Naydenov (2012) notes that the company derives over
toothpaste known as Crest. The toothpaste which was introduced back in 2008 by P&G, has accrued a remarkable market share because of its merits, nevertheless it has weaknesses worth noting. Of significance, it is patented using a harmless enamel-whitening component that brushes away stains from teeth and smoothly whitens them. It eliminates 80% of teeth stains within 14 days. Crest uses a packaging and logo designed in white and
