“The Dollar Store Got It Going On”: Understanding Food Shopping Patterns and Policy Preferences among Dollar Store Shoppers with Low Incomes

BackgroundThe growing dollar store sector has raised concerns about nutrition and associated health outcomes, especially for low-income communities who disproportionately rely on dollar stores. Perspectives of dollar store shoppers are largely absent. ObjectiveThis study aimed to understand why low-income shoppers choose to purchase food from dollar stores and what store changes, policies, and programs would make it easier for them to purchase healthier items. MethodsIn May–June 2023, we conducted interviews with 19 dollar store shoppers in an urban county in North Carolina. We used thematic analysis and the framework method to identify emergent patterns and themes across responses. ResultsIndividuals relied on dollar stores because of the affordable prices and convenient locations. In order of frequency, most participants purchased candy and snacks from dollar stores, followed by meat, fruits, and vegetables. Participants wanted more fruits, vegetables, and higher quality proteins at dollar stores and supported policies that increase access to healthier options via increased purchasing power, increased access to a mobile farmers’ market, marketing that identifies nutritionally healthy products, and improved access to other store types. Responses to removing unhealthy items from checkout areas were mixed. ConclusionsDollar stores are affordable and convenient food retailers for people with low incomes. However, dollar stores are not meeting demand for fruits, vegetables, and proteins, items necessary for food and nutrition security. To improve food access and community health, decision makers should incorporate community perspectives into efforts aimed at improving dollar store food options.

This study aims to improve the service quality of beauty shops by identifying the causal relationship between store attributes, relationship quality, and revisit intention of hair beauty shops, and to contribute to strengthening marketing strategies for customer satisfaction management and increasing sales. To analyze the survey data, a survey was conducted targeting customers who used hair beauty shops located in Gwangju Metropolitan City, and 263 copies were used in the final analysis. As a result of analyzing the collected data using the SPSS 25.0 statistical package program, it was found that service expertise, price, store atmosphere, and sales promotion of hair and beauty shop store attributes had a significant impact on customer satisfaction, and the service of store attributes was found to have a significant impact on customer satisfaction. Professionalism, price, and store location convenience were found to have a significant impact on immersion, trust, and revisit intention. Additionally, customer satisfaction, trust, and commitment in relationship quality were found to have a significant impact on revisit intention. As a result of the above results, it can be seen that hair beauty shop customers are influenced by relationship quality and revisit intention through factors such as service expertise, price, and store location convenience. Based on these results, the hair beauty shop is strengthening its service expertise. It requires efforts for self-development and service quality, and suggests management and marketing strategies that can increase customer satisfaction by setting appropriate prices.

Utilizing Technology To Boost Brand Recognition In Sales of Thrift Stores

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how Instagram and EWOM affect customer happiness and brand trust. Brand trust can be raised by introducing products on Instagram and featuring recommendations from customers who have made purchases. Thrifting is a company that is expanding right now, particularly among the young people in our study. A total of 209 thrift store shoppers made up the sample. The findings demonstrate that Instagram has a direct and indirect impact on brand trust and satisfaction. This isn't the case, though, with EWOM, which has no bearing on the brand through satisfaction. Social media can be utilized more by proprietors of thrift stores to promote their products and increase consumer confidence in the brands they carry.

Urban commercial marketing and economic factors, an evidence from Mashhad (Iran)

The present study attempts to spatial and temporal analysis of the reactions between urban commercial marketing and influencing economic factors in Mashhad City (Iran). For this purpose, statistical and spatial data from 18 selected commercial complexes and trading towers were collected using official documents, fieldwork observations, and surveys of some interviews for time windows of 2010 and 2020. The total annual revenue, as the commercial marketing indicator, was chosen as the dependent variable to indicate the mean productivity and profitability of shop stores in the case studies. Besides, eight factors, including commercial marketing and urban regional characteristics were chosen as independent factors. Results revealed that the mean values of commercial interest rates were recorded equal to 0.71 and 0.64 in 2010 and 2020, revealing the overall decrease in profitability of the commercial complexes within the recent decade. Despite the growing rate of construction of renewal mega projects and trading towers in the central district of Mashhad City, the marketing revenues and commercial interests had no positive relationships with city center profits in the recent decade. The land price market has severely changed the spatial structure and economy of Mashhad, such as commercial projects and marketing. It means that the main motivation for marketing in commercial complexes can be considered as regional land values instead of the traditional function of the religious city center.

Mediating Role of Self Congruity on Retail Patronage Decisions among Supermarket Shoppers in Kenya

Self-congruity results when a consumer’s self-image matches their image of a typical store shopper with respect to how they would look like and behave.

Sugar-sweetened beverage intake and convenience store shopping as mediators of the food insecurity-Tooth decay relationship among low-income children in Washington state.

There are oral health disparities in the U.S. and children in food-insecure households have a higher burden of tooth decay. Identifying the mechanisms underlying the food insecurity-tooth decay relationship could inform public health interventions. This study examined how sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and frequent convenience store shopping mediated the food insecurity-tooth decay relationship for lower-income children. Cross-sectional study data included a household survey, beverage questionnaire, and dental examination. The sample included 452 lower-income, racially-diverse, child-caregiver dyads in 2018 from King County in Washington state. The exposure was household food insecurity, the outcome was untreated decayed tooth surfaces, and the proposed mediators were SSB intake and frequent convenience store shopping (≥2 times/week). Causal mediation analyses via the potential outcomes framework was used to estimate natural indirect and direct effects. Fifty-five percent of participants were in food-insecure households, the mean number of decayed tooth surfaces among children was 0.87 (standard deviation [SD] = 1.99), the mean SSB intake was 17 fluid ounces (fl/oz)/day (SD = 35), and 18% of households frequently shopped at a convenience store. After adjusting for confounders, household food insecurity and log-transformed SSB intake (fluid ounces/day) were positively associated with decayed tooth surfaces, but not at the a α = 0.05 level (mean ratio [MR] 1.60; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89, 2.88; p = .12 and MR 1.16; 95% CI 0.93, 1.46; p = .19, respectively). Frequent convenience store shopping was associated with 2.75 times more decayed tooth surfaces (95% CI 1.61, 4.67; p < .001). SSB intake mediated 10% of the food insecurity-tooth decay relationship (p = .35) and frequent convenience store shopping mediated 22% (p = .33). Interventions aimed at addressing oral health disparities in children in food-insecure households could potentially focus on reducing intake of SSBs and improving access to healthful foods in lower-income communities.

How does channel integration quality promote omnichannel customer citizenship behavior? The moderating role of the number of channels used and gender

PurposeBuilding on stimulus organism response theory, the current study examines the influence of channel integration quality dimensions (channel service configuration and integrated interactions) on the omnichannel retail store's shoppers' satisfaction, trust and commitment, subsequently leading to customer citizenship behavior (CCB). It examines the relationships proposed against boundary conditions, the number of channels used during the purchase and gender.Design/methodology/approachThe research is descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional investigation. It was conducted using data from 451 Indian omnichannel shoppers using a validated self-administered questionnaire. The proposed conceptual model was tested using PLS-SEM and PLS-MGA.FindingsThe results indicate that channel service configuration positively impact the dimensions of relationship quality of the omnichannel shoppers. However, integrated interactions influence trust and commitment directly but affect satisfaction indirectly through trust. Subsequently, relationship quality significantly explains CCB. The model results show r2 = 0.402 for CCB; that is, 40.2% of CCB is explained by channel integration and relationship quality. The moderating effect of the number of purchase channels used and gender on all proposed relationships were tested. PLS-MGA results revealed channel service configuration led to shopper commitment, subsequently impacting CCB. The effect was more among shoppers who used more than 2 channels. The impact of channel service configuration on commitment was seen more among female shoppers. Male and female shoppers exhibited satisfaction-driven and trust-driven citizenship behavior, respectively.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is carried out in the Indian population, where omnichannel retailing is still in the nascent stage.Originality/valueThis is the first study to demonstrate channel integration quality may influence customer citizenship behavior through relationship quality dimensions, tested against boundary conditions, the number of channels used during the purchase and gender. The findings from this research would help retail store managers design their omnichannel operations to encourage firm-beneficial value co-creation behaviors among omnichannel shoppers.

Examining channel choice preferences for grocery shopping during the Covid-19 pandemic

Research on grocery shopping channel preferences has been growing in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, few studies have utilized the discrete choice experiment (DCE) to elicit choices in hypothetical scenarios. Moreover, attitudinal factors, which may better explain preference heterogeneity, are rarely considered. Given that the evolution of shopping behavior in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic has huge implications for transportation planning and modeling, this study aims to examine consumers’ grocery shopping channel preferences through a DCE that was constructed with three grocery shopping channels (home delivery, curbside pickup, and in-store) and five time–cost attributes (product price, shopping time, delivery time, delivery cost, and travel time). 8 603 responses were elicited from 1 229 Florida residents between February and April 2021. Information on various aspects of respondents’ shopping attitudes as well as their socio-demographic and household attributes, grocery shopping activities, and distance to the grocery store were also collected. Using mixed logit modeling for analyses, results indicate that individuals with low education, in low- to middle-income earning households, with three or more household vehicles, and having full access to a vehicle tended to prefer in-store shopping. Also, perceived security risk, pro-alternative mobility options, pro-local store shopping, and shorter distances to grocery stores predisposed individuals toward in-store shopping. Alternatively, females, young and middle-aged individuals, workers, and individuals in large households tended to prefer home delivery and curbside pickup. Technology savviness, pro-environment, pro-online shopping, and shopping enjoyment were also drivers of home delivery and curbside pickup purchases, while cost and time consciousness did not show significant effects. Overall, the findings in this study have implications for retailers, transportation planners, and policymakers.

Unfinished Business

How can microsocial rituals connected to a specific site be used as interaction templates for artistic purposes? And how can we distort such rituals artistically in order to make them memorable events? As artists, we regard distortion as the process that gives character and distinction to things and situations, as well as something that confuses and enriches information and interpretation. Through examples emerging from the operatic production Chronos’ Bank of Memories (2019–2022), set in empty shop stores with interacting visitors, we have recalled and fleshed out issues of rituality with distorted proportions. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, its production was interrupted and later on revived, which affected the work. This exposition covers aspects of both our artistic practice in general and this particular opera’s tendency to encompass distorted rituals. Commentary texts, images, and audio/video clips are arranged into an introduction and then three thematic strands in order to offer a reasoned overview of our work process.

Visually impaired people and grocery shopping in store: First evidence from brain oscillations electroencephalogram

AbstractGrocery shopping represents a challenging task for visually impaired (VI), but the neuroscientific literature on the consumption patterns of this group is still scarce. The aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between explicit consumer experience and neuropsychological measures. A group of VI and sighted explored and manipulated three different product categories inside the supermarket, while EEG, behavioral and self‐report data were collected. Electroencephalogram (EEG) findings showed a generalized delta band activity in pasta compared to frozen food and it was interpreted as higher emotional activation probably required by selecting the correct stimuli in a multisensory environment. A delta band activation was also found in frontal area in VI compared to control and it was supposed to be an index of greater cognitive control. Finally, higher delta band activity in parieto‐occipital and temporal areas were related to greater sense of disorientation. In conclusion, it was found that VI experience grocery shopping more stressfully and with greater cognitive effort (parieto‐occipital area) than people without visual disability. In general, VI use the sense of touch (temporal area) more and have more difficulties in orienting themselves internally in the store. The results could encourage the use of tactile touchpoints, braille maps, or an initial guided exploration of the supermarket, to allow the VI to memorize the internal layout of the different product categories and allow them to shop independently. Another suggestion would be to make products within the same product category more distinctive, perhaps by adding additional tactile information.

Household Food Carbon Footprint and Club Store Shopping

Household Food Carbon Footprint and Club Store Shopping

Examining Pareto Law across department store shoppers

Department stores invest in loyalty strategies that largely focus on retaining current high value customers in response to increasing competition in retail shopping. In this study, we examine the contribution of the top 20% customers for transaction frequency and value (“heavy buyers”) to the total sales, and the consistency of this contribution across departments within a store. We also investigate the heavy buyer stability over time across 3 years, from over 550 million transactions from a department store chain in East Asia. The results show that the Pareto ratio of the top 20% spenders account for 71% of revenue (and 52% of the total transactions), and the top 20% transactors represent 58% of revenue (and 62% of total transactions), which may signal the role of such heavy buyers to overall stores sales. At each department level, the heavy buyers (by value) contribute from 65% to 86% of the department revenue. Despite this, the stability of the top 20% segment over time varies greatly by department from 11% to 74%. Finally, whether high value customers in one department store also translate across departments, depends mainly on the department size in terms of its shopper penetration. The research furthers our knowledge on Pareto Law, with important implications for customer retention strategies and loyalty programs especially for retailers.

Explore the Factors Contributing to Online Versus Store Shopping in Transportation Perspective: Evidence from India

In recent times, there has been a growing demand for e-shopping as compared to in-store shopping due to rapid changes in technology as well as extensive usage of the internet. E-shopping has changed people's shopping and travel behaviour. Due to the increase in internet usage, there is a tremendous change in people's shopping choices and it further impacts the travel patterns in urban communities. In this context, the proposed study evaluates people’s shopping choice behaviour in an urban scenario. To fulfil the proposed objective, a questionnaire survey has been conducted in order to understand consumer behaviour about their shopping choices as well as the number of online orders that have been made by the user during the specified duration of time (viz., during the last one month). To analyse the collected data, a principal component based logistic regression analysis has been adopted to estimate the significant contributing factors affecting consumer shopping choices. The results show that motivational factors (viz., saving in travel time and better prices) have a significant positive impact on online shopping; however, there are concerns such as delivery time as well as care required during online payment. The frequency of using online shopping mode and recently made purchases has had a significant positive impact on online shopping. Further, it has been concluded that higher income levels and higher occupation levels negatively impact e-shopping choice. The results are useful for transport planners to predict the transformation in people's travel behaviour with respect to shopping trips in present and future scenarios.
