Why we need to know about retailing?? What do you understand from retailing aspect??

Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location, such as a department store or kiosk, or by post, in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser.^[1] Retailing may include subordinated services, such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or businesses. In commerce, a retailerproducts in large quantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user. Retail establishments are often called shops or stores. Retailers are at the end of the supply chain. Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy. buys goods or

Shops may be on residential streets, shopping streets with few or no houses, or in a shopping center or mall, but are mostly found in the central business district. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. In the U.S., retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud. Online retailing, also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf. mail order).

Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it is done as a recreational activity. Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking, not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase.

Retail is one of the fastest growing, most dynamic parts of the world economy. Careers in retail are people-oriented, fast-paced and exciting. Retailing is worth taking a good look at, particularly if you are looking for a service-oriented, entrepreneurial profession. The options are many including store management, buying, merchandising and central management. There's also the booming area of e-tailing (online retail). If you have an interest in technology,

Retailing Skills And Talents.

eople Skills are Key

Because of constant contact with customers, retailing is a people-oriented business. Sales skills are also very important since many retail jobs involve selling or buying from sellers. Although retail sellers may not have to solve as many customer problems as do industrial sellers, a sense of empathy is still important.


Enthusiasm counts.

It would be hard to find a profession which places a greater emphasis on enthusiasm. People with good attitudes and a willingness to be flexible and resourceful thrive in retail.

Little Travel.

Unless you are a buyer, the travel requirements of retailing are modest. This means you'll have a good chance of being able to spend more time with your family and will be able to be more embedded in your community than would be possible if you were in certain other jobs.

Abnormal hours

A retailer's daily activities are more structured than some other forms of marketing. The negative impression about retailing is that retailers work long hours and for relatively low reward. There is a lot of truth to that impression. Since retail stores are usually open nights and weekends, some work schedules may not be the typical 9 to 5, Monday through Friday schedule of other professions.

Pay can be an issue

Starting salaries are low, but pay can increase as the individual moves into management or some retailing specialty job.

MBA not required.

Retailing is a high potential field where most senior executives do not have MBAs. Because the key success factors are enthusiasm, hard work and speed, time spent in business school is less valuable than in other fields such as product management or consulting. This said, business education can be quite helpful. Understanding of merchandising, finance and inventory control are highly valued in the retail sector.marketing and retail, this may be the area for you.
