Drawing of a self-service store.

Retail consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location, such as a
department store, boutique or kiosk, or by mail, 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 "retailer" buys goods
or products 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. The term
"retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of
individuals, such as a public utility, like electric power.
Shops may be on residential streets, shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping
mall. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial
or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Online retailing, a type of electronic
commerce used for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and mail order, are forms of
non-shop retailing.
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.

[edit] Etymology

The Apple Store retail location on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago.

The world's only Garmin retail location is located on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago.
Retail comes from the Old French word retaillier (compare modern French retailler), which
means "to cut off, clip, pare, divide" in terms of tailoring (1365[citation needed]). It was first
recorded as a noun with the meaning of a "sale in small quantities" in 1433[citation needed] (from
the Middle French retail, "piece cut off, shred, scrap, paring").[2] Like the French, the word
retail in both Dutch and German (detailhandel and Einzelhandel, respectively) also refers to
the sale of small quantities of items.
[edit] Types of retail outlets
San Juan de Dios Market in Guadalajara, Jalisco

Inside a supermarket in Russia

A marketplace is a location where goods and services are exchanged. The traditional market
square is a city square where traders set up stalls and buyers browse the merchandise. This
kind of market is very old, and countless such markets are still in operation around the whole
world.
In some parts of the world, the retail business is still dominated by small family-run stores,
but this market is increasingly being taken over by large retail chains.
Retail is usually classified by type of products as follows:
• Food products
• Hard goods ("hardline retailers") - appliances, electronics, furniture, sporting goods,
etc.
• Soft goods - clothing, apparel, and other fabrics.
There are the following types of retailers by marketing strategy:
• Department stores - very large stores offering a huge assortment of "soft" and "hard
goods; often bear a resemblance to a collection of specialty stores. A retailer of such
store carries variety of categories and has broad assortment at average price. They
offer considerable customer service.
• Discount stores - tend to offer a wide array of products and services, but they compete
mainly on price offers extensive assortment of merchandise at affordable and cut-rate
prices. Normally retailers sell less fashion-oriented brands.
• Supermarkets - sell mostly food products;
• Warehouse stores - warehouses that offer low-cost, often high-quantity goods piled on
pallets or steel shelves; warehouse clubs charge a membership fee;
• Variety stores or "dollar stores" - these offer extremely low-cost goods, with limited
selection;
• Demographic - retailers that aim at one particular segment (e.g., high-end retailers
focusing on wealthy individuals).
• Mom-And-Pop (or Kirana Stores as they call them in India): is a retail outlet that is
owned and operated by individuals. The range of products are very selective and few
in numbers. These stores are seen in local community often are family-run businesses.
The square feet area of the store depends on the store holder.
 • Specialty stores: A typical speciality store gives attention to a particular category and
provides high level of service to the customers. A pet store that specializes in selling
dog food would be regarded as a specialty store. However, branded stores also come
under this format. For example if a customer visits a Reebok or Gap store then they
find just Reebok and Gap products in the respective stores.
• General store - a rural store that supplies the main needs for the local community;
• Convenience stores: is essentially found in residential areas. They provide limited
amount of merchandise at more than average prices with a speedy checkout. This
store is ideal for emergency and immediate purchases.
• Hypermarkets: provides variety and huge volumes of exclusive merchandise at low
margins. The operating cost is comparatively less than other retail formats. A classic
example is the Metro™ in Bangalore.
• Supermarkets: is a self service store consisting mainly of grocery and limited products
on non food items. They may adopt a Hi-Lo or an EDLP strategy for pricing. The
supermarkets can be anywhere between 20,000-40,000 square feet. Example:
SPAR™ supermarket.
• Malls: has a range of retail shops at a single outlet. They endow with products, food
and entertainment under a roof. Example: Sigma mall and Garuda mall in Bangalore,
Express Avenue in Chennai.
• Category killers or Category Specialist: By supplying wide assortment in a single
category for lower prices a retailer can "kill" that category for other retailers. For few
categories, such as electronics, the products are displayed at the centre of the store and
sales person will be available to address customer queries and give suggestions when
required. Other retail format stores are forced to reduce the prices if a category
specialist retail store is present in the vicinity. For example: Pai Electronics™ store in
Bangalore, Tata Croma.
• E-tailers: The customer can shop and order through internet and the merchandise are
dropped at the customer's doorstep. Here the retailers use drop shipping technique.
They accept the payment for the product but the customer receives the product
directly from the manufacturer or a wholesaler. This format is ideal for customers
who do not want to travel to retail stores and are interested in home shopping.
However it is important for the customer to be wary about defective products and non
secure credit card transaction. Example: Amazon and Ebay.
• Vending Machines: This is an automated piece of equipment wherein customers can
drop in the money in machine and acquire the products. For example: Soft drinks
vending at Bangalore Airport.

Some stores take a no frills approach, while others are "mid-range" or "high end", depending
on what income level they target.
Other types of retail store include:
• Automated Retail stores are self service, robotic kiosks located in airports, malls and
grocery stores. The stores accept credit cards and are usually open 24/7. Examples
include ZoomShops and Redbox.
• Big-box stores encompass larger department, discount, general merchandise, and
warehouse stores.
• Convenience store - a small store often with extended hours, stocking everyday or
roadside items;
 • General store - a store which sells most goods needed, typically in a rural area;
Retailers can opt for a format as each provides different retail mix to its customers based on
their customer demographics, lifestyle and purchase behaviour. A good format will lend a
hand to display products well and entice the target customers to spawn sales.
[edit] Retail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing. This involves adding a
markup amount (or percentage) to the retailer's cost. Another common technique is suggested
retail pricing. This simply involves charging the amount suggested by the manufacturer and
usually printed on the product by the manufacturer.
In Western countries, retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices. Often
prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels. Alternatively, when prices are not clearly
displayed, there can be price discrimination, where the sale price is dependent upon who the
customer is. For example, a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or
she is willing and/or able to. Another example would be the practice of discounting for
youths, students, or senior citizens..
[edit] Transfer mechanism
There are several ways in which consumers can receive goods from a retailer:
• Counter service, where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from
the seller. This type of retail is common for small expensive items (e.g. jewelry) and
controlled items like medicine and liquor. It was common before the 1900s in the
United States and is more common in certain countries like India.[which?]
• Delivery, where goods are shipped directly to consumer's homes or workplaces. Mail
order from a printed catalog was invented in 1744 and was common in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. Ordering by telephone is now common, either from a
catalog, newspaper, television advertisement or a local restaurant menu, for
immediate service (especially for pizza delivery). Direct marketing, including
telemarketing and television shopping channels, are also used to generate telephone
orders. Online shopping started gaining significant market share in developed
countries in the 2000s.
• Door-to-door sales, where the salesperson sometimes travels with the goods for sale.
• Self-service, where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase
[edit] Second hand retail
See also: Charity shop
Some shops sell second-hand goods. In the case of a nonprofit shop, the public donates goods
to the shop to be sold. In give-away shops goods can be taken for free.
Another form is the pawnshop, in which goods are sold that were used as collateral for loans.
There are also "consignment" shops, which are where a person can place an item in a store
and if it sells, the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price. The advantage
of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more
potential buyers.
[edit] Sales techniques
Behind the scenes at retail, there is another factor at work. Corporations and independent
store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors. One way to do this
is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract
 more customers in a certain demographic. The nation's largest retailers spend millions every
year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to seasonal and promotional changes.
As products change, so will a retail landscape. Retailers can also use facing techniques to
create the look of a perfectly stocked store, even when it is not.
