Retailing 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. 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.

How much money do you want the retailers make?
Q. It seems everyone wants to bargain, but the retailers need to survive too, so how much percentage they should make of you?
Asked by paobay - Tue Feb 20 14:03:22 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. (mostly) free market economy. Retailers sell for whatever the market will bear, and make whatever they can. Just like you.

This season, should we boycott retailers that push Christianity and favor those using "happy holidays"?
Q. I'm tired of religious fascists like Focus on the Family threatening retailers if they DON'T use the word "Christmas." Well guess what!? Millions of Americans aren't Christian (or, potentially, religious in any way at all) and yet they appreciate gathering with their friends & family and seeing the smiles that presents bring. Maybe that is a lot more important than ancient superstitions and mythology. Pushing any religion is wrong, and if retailers try to pull that sort of thing, I'll shop elsewhere.

A. wo slick, learn your facts first the overwelming majority of the US is christian, accept it or not, its fact. what most people, myself included, have a problem with, is not forceing people to say merry christmas, but having people try to sue us for wishing them one. I was almost fired when I was in highschool for wishing someone a merry christmas

Will retailers redeem other retailers gift cards or in store credit?
Q. I have an in store credit that I recently received from Best Buy, but they do not seem to have what I want. I've heard in the past that sometimes retailers will accept or redeem gift cards from other retailers. Would there be a way to do that with this card?
Asked by f1shy14 - Fri Apr 10 22:17:58 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Only if the other store is running a special. But in this economy, you can always ask. It also depends on how much off you are talking. But as this is not a discount available to everyone, I doubt that they would give too large a discount.
