Eighty-five ways by which de-
partment and speciality stores
can meet discount competition
are offered by j. Gordon Dakins
executive vice president of the
National Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION in the current issue OF
the associations m a g azin c
Stores.
It's no secret that discounters
have been giving department
stores a hard time. By elimin-
ating, or charging extra for de-
livery, credit, refunds and other
services, discounters have been
able to undersell other stores.
In fact, there are now about
$500 discount stores in the
United States, so many that
they are giving one another a
hard time.
Mr.. Dakin's IS points are too
long to be reprinted here, but
there is space to record those
that may be Of more general
use.
Hints for All
The following suggestions
may be useful not only to de-
partment store arrangements
but to executives of other stores
as well, including discount
houses.
Examine price lines by de-
partments and be strong in your
best selling lines:
Check the amount of your
paper work. Is it absolutely
necessary?
Mechanic where you can.
Build customers confidence
in you.
Stand by manufacturers guar
anteeS.
! Play up your brand names.
Establish strong cost controls
Make yours friendly store
Through your buying office
pool your buying power with
others for lower cost of volume
