书籍介绍
乔氏超市有多厉害?它不打折,没有线上业务,甚至没有会员系统,却拥有一大堆忠实粉丝;它以质优价低著称,却能保持超过40%的毛利率;它几乎不做广告,但总能引发排队抢购热潮。它的商品数只有竞争对手的1/10,竟然还被消费者盛赞“产品丰富”;它坚持平价路线,却被知名食品零售商Whole Foods(全食超市)视为终身劲敌。 乔·库隆布在20世纪60年代末创立了乔氏超市,他很早就意识到,他无法通过与更大的竞争对手玩同样的游戏来竞争并获胜,于是决定为收入不高、受过良好教育的人开设一家商店。乔氏超市从世界各地引进不同寻常的产品,并在通过以主打“知识型广告”的传单进行宣传,向顾客介绍产品来源和营养价值,成为“消费者喜爱的实体连锁零售商top1”。 本书分为三部分,作者以时间为主线,分享了他创立乔氏超市,并另辟蹊径将其发展成为一家备受欢迎的零售连锁店的经历,以及从挑战现状和重新思考商业运作方式中学到的经验教训,包括:确定超前50年的人群标签;打造自有品牌;大力开发明星爆款产品;给消费者更少选择——低SKU策略;开创健康食品潮流;重视门店的选址;提高员工积极性和稳定性的内部管理政策。 本书是一本关于创业和企业发展的实践指南,对于零售行业从业者、创业者、企业管理者来说,都可以从中收获可借鉴的策略方法或启发性的思路理念。

精彩摘录
  • "The convenience store business is 90 percent real estate, 10 percent all other (merchandising, personnel, etc.). In real estate, it’s the tenant’s balance sheet that counts."
  • "In 1962, Barbara Tuchman published The Guns of August, an account of the first ninety days of World War I. It’s the best book on management—and, especially, mismanagement—I’ve ever read."
  • "This is the most important single business decision I ever made: to pay people well. First Pronto Markets and then Trader Joe’s had the highest-paid, highest-benefited people in retailing. … Time and again I am asked why no one has successfully replicated Trader Joe’s. The answer is that no one has "
  • "Equally important was our practice of giving every full-time employee an interview every six months. … Productivity in part is the product of tenure. That’s why I believe that turnover is the most expensive form of labor expense."
  • "“But how could you afford to pay so much more than your competition?” The answer, of course, is that good people pay by their extra productivity. You can’t afford to have cheap employees."
  • "When I bought Pronto Markets, not only was the overt balance sheet leveraged, but the subliminal balance sheet was even worse, because of the de facto debt created by the leases. This kind of hidden debt is recognized only in the footnotes the auditors prepare. And they recognize only the rent amoun"
  • "As a second way to pump investment into the Pronto stores, to support our high wage costs, we began to add hard liquor, instead of just beer and wine, to the stores. (We did this well before 7-Eleven’s arrival.) The cost of a liquor license in those days was so great that the addition of a liquor li"
  • "The Pronto Market chain, at the time of 7-Eleven’s arrival, had the highest sales per store of any convenience store chain in America by a factor of three, thanks to the high wage policy, the strong locations, a few liquor licenses, and the beginnings of differentiation through product knowledge exe"
