The Drama Unfolding on TV
30 Jun 2023 at 12:00am
For decades, manufacturers and retailers have made money from the sale of TVs on a cost of manufacturing basis plus markups for profit margins – the same as other consumer electronics. But now the market is changing. Many of us are streaming programs from smart devices rather than tuning in to watch traditional TV. The new business models that are emerging as a result of the shift means manufacturers and retailers aren’t only relying on the mark-up on television sets to make a profit anymore. They’re also turning their attention to the potential of smart TV platform profits from selling advertising and viewing data.

C-Store Dive Outlook for 2023
14 Mar 2023 at 12:00am
No doubt many of them see an ongoing challenge in convincing price-conscious consumers to come into their stores to buy snacks, drinks and meals. Although inflation has been slowing down recently, the cumulative effect of so many months of paying high prices has pushed shoppers to look for better deals and new ways of relieving pressure on their wallets.
C-store operators are also rightly concerned about ongoing labor challenges, escalating demand for new technology and the need to stand out against so many other operators, including restaurants and dollar stores, that are moving assertively to secure consumer loyalty.
But the year ahead also carries plenty of promise. Options like self checkout are remaking how shoppers interact with stores, while personalized technology is opening up new frontiers in shopper loyalty. Manufacturers have innovative new products on tap. And in retail media, c-store chains see a tantalizing new way to boost their profit margins.
In this trendline, C-Store Dive lays out several industry developments that promise to significantly impact operators this year. Our “Top Trends” piece is informed by conversations with leading retail experts. We also take a look at some of the ways c-store designs are evolving, and at what’s ahead — in ways both good and bad — for the fast-growing retail media sector in 2023.
We’re confident these storylines will have a significant impact on c-store sales in the year ahead. Thank you for reading.

Retail Dive Outlook on 2023
14 Mar 2023 at 12:00am
While e-commerce sales are still on the rise — they hit $1 trillion for the first time in 2022 — digital-native brands are suffering through reductions in workforce and other cost-cutting as venture capital firms retreat and take a harder stance on profitability. Dollar stores and mass merchants like Walmart and Target, however, stand to benefit from the wave of value-conscious shoppers.
In 2023, default rates in retail are expected to stay relatively low, according to Fitch Ratings, but it’s likely to be another year where retail’s strong get stronger and the weak suffer. Some sectors could be better off than others. The pandemic’s winners — home goods and home improvement, for example — could face tough times ahead as demand has cooled. One need only look at Bed Bath & Beyond’s collapse to see the impact shifting consumer interest can wreak.
As consumers navigate a difficult financial landscape, they are turning to private labels and seeking out cheaper alternatives for their go-to products. That could also mean a boost to resale, which has gained steam in recent years. In 2023 already, Canada Goose and Francesca’s have joined the ranks of retailers looking to cash in on used goods and capture a consumer interested in value, sustainability or both.

2023 Poses New Challenges for Pay TV and Over-the-Top Players to Meet the Ne...
6 Feb 2023 at 12:00am
This shift is leading a growing number of subscribers to cost-effectively enjoy content to their hearts' delight while dynamically churning in and out of streaming services. Content service providers -- especially those with subscription video on demand (SVOD) business models -- have taken a hit on margins as they allocate resources to win back customers they had once engaged. In response, industry executives are bolstering their offerings by improving their ability to put the right content in front of the right viewers at the right time.
BizTechReports caught up with Jon Kirchner, CEO of Xperi to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing over-the-top and Pay TV providers as consumer behaviors evolve.

The Grocery Dive Outlook on 2022
11 Nov 2022 at 12:00am
This includes continued supply chain disruptions, record-high inflation and difficulties hiring and retaining workers.
How can companies balance defensive measures with the proactive steps necessary to address this mix of pressures and opportunities? In this trendline, Grocery Dive
looks at some of the steps top retailers are taking along with the advice from leading experts.
We look at how retailers are incorporating ordering kiosks, self-checkout stands and other automated technologies to compensate for a shortage of workers and also add a dash of convenience for shoppers. We also look at how retailers are using promotions, private label and creative merchandising to cope with out-of-stocks and price hikes.
Our annual trends roundup addresses some of the unique opportunities retailers are leaning into this year, like retail media and B2B selling. E-commerce continues to evolve at a rapid pace, prompting investments in pickup service and ship-to-home fulfillment. Delivery, too, is seeing a flood of innovation and faster services that are prompting retailers to revisit their pricing and membership offerings, as our recent story highlights.
We hope you enjoy this collection of stories looking ahead to some of the top issues
facing grocers this year.
