Answer to Question 1

Many customers place a high value on attributes other than price when selecting a place to shop. Retailers must understand that nonprice elements of the retail mixmerchandise mix, advertising and promotion, customer services and selling, and store layout and designcan have a significant impact on the quantity of merchandise they sell and the profit levels they achieve. Retailers must be aware that certain nonprice variables will be more successful than others given the market segments they choose to target.
Some of the ways a retailer could use nonprice variables to achieve a protected niche are:
 The retailer could position itself as different from the competition by altering its merchandise mix to offer higher-quality goods, greater personal service, special-orders handling, or a better selection of large sizes.
 Store positioning is when a retailer identifies a well-defined market segment using demographic or lifestyle variables and appeals to this segment with a clearly differentiated approach.
 The retailer can offer private-label merchandise that has unique features or offers better value than do competitors.
 The retailer could master stockkeeping with its basic merchandise assortment.
A variation of nonprice competition is to become a destination store for certain products.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
