balances floating


floating balances (traders possibility of choosing two weeks' pay for each year) were one of the measures implemented to boost competitiveness and attendance malls. On balance, the results are very mixed. The National Center malls (CNCC) found that attendance in supermarkets fell 4.7% in April 2009 compared to same month in 2008.

In fact, it appears that the device floating balances would be more effective if the distributors agreed to work together and establish a common catalog.

iPhone cheap? soon ...


Apple iPhone could launch a cheap, it could launch cheaper versions of the iPhone without obligation to purchase a monthly subscription service for data transfer, thereby boosting sales of the handset.

next year or two years of iPhone models that do not require a monthly subscription service for data transfer, which currently represent a minimal extra cost of 30 dollars (22 euros) in the United States, will be offered to their clients.Un cheap model would also help Apple reach an agreement with the telecom operators in China to enter the largest market in the world.

The declining price of the iPhone to me is logical, since technological change are pushing phone models to be less expensive. Finally, no wonder the iPhone to enter China market since it is a late cycle of innovation for European phone companies.

Fitch, pessimistic for large retailers in 2009


Find below an AFP report dated 14 May that I have voluntarily decided published in full because it is self-explanatory and does not deserve further comment as the rating agency Fitch Ratings East:


For retail, 2009 "is one year lost "(Fitch)

" The effects of exchange, slower inflation and falling sales volumes should greatly affect the European brands of large retailers, most of which will stop their policy of expansion, said the rating agency Fitch on Thursday.

"2009 is a lost year in terms of growth for all retail brands, which will focus on their core market and core business," he told a press conference Johnny Da Silva, Research Director at Fitch. Last year, the distribution had resisted increasing food prices, which had helped offset volume declines.

But in 2009, the fall in consumption due to the crisis continues, but inflation is also slowing.
As a result, overall growth in sales the first six food groups in Europe (Carrefour, Tesco, Casino, Sainsbury, Metro and Ahold) is expected to melt at 4% this year against 8% in 2008, according to Fitch. The non-food retailers should continue to suffer this year after suffering adverse trade-offs of consumers in 2008.

sales of these brands (Kingfisher, Marks and Spencer, Next, DSG) is expected to grow by less than 1% in 2009 against 1.5% in 2008.
The impact of exchange rate effects is also very important (down the pound sterling for UK retailers, distributors strong euro for French and German). Exchange rate effects are expected to cost between 1% and 3% of sales of European brands, predicted Mr Da Silva.

In response to these problems, food distributors and food should not reduce their investment of -15% and -45%, in particular the expansion investments.
Carrefour has already announced earlier this year want to focus on France, its traditional market, while the Tesco development on the UK and Metro in Germany. top ten brands in this study, Fitch indicated that only the British and Dutch Ahold Sainsbury have a room for an expansion policy. The former because it has already restructured in the early 2000s and the latter because it leads a conservative financial policy, "said da Silva.

The decline in consumption also affects the brunt of the food and liquor. food companies Nestle, Unilever, Danone and Cadbury and should register increases in sales of up to 2%, far from the goals of 5% to 9% target set by these companies, "says Fitch.

Net business of wine and spirits companies (Diageo, SAB Miller, Carlsberg, Pernod Ricard) should be between -2% and +2%, after growth located within a range from +5% to +7% per last year. Benefits should be either stable or decline after an increase between 5% and 9% in 2008 and up to 27% in 2007.
People not only consume less liquor, but they also refer to the cheaper brands, Fitch noted. "

The games in French supermarkets


The French Games (EOD) has confirmed the closure of its outlets in supermarkets, the opening had angered the tobacconists. This withdrawal can be explained by "the changing economic environment."

It would seem that lobbying tobacconists more convincing than that of supermarkets. It is true that tobacco shops are already struggling with the restrictions on tobacco. Rest now know where the consumer interest?

Fair trade deal with the crisis


Here clearly another victim of the financial crisis.

Introduced in France in 1950 by Abbe Pierre, fair trade has made a tentative entry into our country. 9 years ago, only 15% of consumers aware of fair trade.
The 2000s are a good omen for this type of trade enters as the habits of consumers.
In 2008, while 80% of consumers have already bought products from such trade, fair trade is a growing 22% and represents a turnover of 260 million euros.

This year, the price of fair trade products that are labeled in the stores are 22% more expensive than a product classic. With the crisis, families are much more careful with their budgets and solidarity is no longer part of their priorities.

I think it is precisely at this juncture that the symbolic gesture of solidarity is strongest.

"The rich can not change the lives of the poor, but when it becomes poor in its turn, it can however understand all the poor."

yes I know the Care Bears live, so what? it's nice sometimes not:)

Carrefour wants to play the Tsars!


Carrefour, already established in China, turning the head to the Rodina (Motherland, Russia). Indeed the French group of large retailers want to buy Russian Sedmoï Kontinient for 1.24 billion dollars.

In fact, thanks to the peculiarity of the group (culturally adapted to countries in which it operates) that Russia sees this acquisition look good. Carrefour is ready to adapt its products and messages to the Russian market.

While Carrefour appeared to have been weakened by various problems (see our posts on Carrefour) it shows instead a expensionisme astonishment.

The crisis does not seem to have weakened all the major brands .....

Carrefour wants to enter the market BRIC


After China and failing to settle in India where the group encounters many difficulties, it seems that Russia is offering more facilities. Indeed, Carrefour would be negotiating the purchase of the supermarket chain Sedmoï Kontinient. The transaction amount would cover a total of about 940 million euros. The Russian distributor currently has 140 outlets in Russia.

This suggests that implantation of Carrefour in emerging markets with great potential remains a priority of his strategy.
