Historically speaking, Canada has never been a great market for American retailers. The Canadian dollar was weak, costs were higher, and with limited real estate development, it was difficult to find space. Not anymore, now the door to Canada is opening wider than ever thanks to a stronger Canadian dollar, a relatively robust economy, and a loosening of the commercial real estate market, in part because of the downsizing of some longtime retailers like Sears Canada. For American retailers, Canada’s allure is simple; sales per square foot at Canadian malls were almost 50 percent higher in 2011 than sales per square foot at American malls. This is a budding market that Nordstrom will need to act towards if they hope to keep up with the competition in the future.…

After 6 days of investment, my results were that ULTA made me a profit and Estee Lauder lost me money. ULTA gave me a profit of $11.43 and, unfortunately, Estee Lauder gave me a negative balance of $13.80. However, even though I did not make a grand profit, I do believe the articles above are right when stating that these are long term investments. In addition, 6 days is not enough time to my an enormous profit off these companies. This project provided me greater insight into the stock market. I was able to see how fast the numbers change each day. Therefore, stocks can be quite risky. That being, there is an urge to sell your shares as soon as prices go up. Yet, for stocks like ULTA and Estee Lauder is is better to be in the long haul.…
The two companies I chose to compare were Sephora and Ulta Beauty. Both stores are cosmetic retailers and sell many of the same products. Sephora has been around longer originating in Paris in the year 1970, and opening it 's first U.S store in 1998. Sephora runs approximately 1,300 stores in 27 countries worldwide, with a consistently growing base of over 300 stores across North America. Ulta Beauty was founded in 1990 trying to reach out to women as a place to shop other than department stores and drugstores for their beauty needs. As of 2013, Ulta is operating 576 stores across the span of 46 states. The company has also equipped each of their stores with a full service salon, hoping that women would appreciate the one stop shopping experience. Although both chains have similar product and price points, they possess two very different advertising, promotional and customer service styles and different ways in how they present themselves to the public.…
The retail industry such as Men’s Wearhouse, Macy’s, Burlington, and Express operate websites and are part of a highly competitive industry. They contend with local, national, and global online retailers that bring comparable products and offer comparable services. Consumer opportunities in retail are shifting quickly with online retail stores, with an innovative future, which includes speed, convenience, and personalized mobile access. The change to e-commerce is pervasive to traditional retailers that must adjust their growth strategies, or risk a downturn in business. Whereas retail is ever expanding within e-commerce, retailers do offer different products and services in order to promote their…
All stores are similar and different in many ways. Each store carries different products. Each store’s price is different from other stores. Wal-Mart and Target are similar and different in many ways. Wal-Mart has better prices than Target, Wal-Mart’s and Target’s products are about the same but Target is better, and Target has a better atmosphere than Wal-Mart.…
Maybelline’s “new the Falsies Big Eyes” mascara advertises their new double brush tube that will magically give you glamorous, larger eyes. Being the first of its kind, advertisers claim that women must buy it and try it out. Such claim, that Falsies can create bigger eyes, amplifying lashes 360 degrees, is implicit because it cannot be verified. Women are born with varying eye shape and size that mascara alone cannot change.…
Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger are one of the brands that most people usually wear and the are pretty much the same in clothes but some look better and have some competition. In my opinion Ralph lauren is better than Tommy hilfiger. The Polo Ralph lauren corporation was made in 1967 and the Tommy hilfiger was made in 1985.…

The Sephora at Valleyfair has an average of 1,000-2,000 customers a day. There are greeters at the door who are kind and helpful! You can try on all the products if desired and. The employees can do it for you as well. This Sephora seemed to have a wider variety from other Sephoras. There are many employees who are helpful and kind. I believe that Sephora is worth the time and money, even though some things can be overpriced. It mainly depends on how you prefer to spend your money!…
Last week, I thought of a plan to go to the shopping centre with my friend who is going to visit Singapore. Both my friend and I like shopping, I wanted to take her to go shopping.

Then I compared the location, structure and goods of two centres that I could finally come to my decision to go Lucky Plaza.…
