Target Hits The Target – And How!

Target Hits The Target – And How!

Registering a solid +6.5% growth in sales at stores open for at least a year, Target Corporation reaffirmed its strength against the online retail boom. The latest quarter’s growth is the highest in 13 years, and one of the reasons apparently is strong consumer sentiment - as also hinted by Target’s CEO Brian Cornell. The retail company raised its projection for the rest of the year as well.

Its digital presence, too, had a strong following among customers: online sales increased 41% last quarter compared to the year-ago period. Last year, the company bought delivery service firm Shipt to boost same-day delivery speeds.

Expanding its offerings on clothing, electronics and kids’ toys might also have helped Target garner more customers and sales.

Industry description

Companies in the discount stores industry specialize in offering substantial discounts on a vast array of retail products. Some companies in this industry also operate general merchandise warehouse clubs. Products sold at discount stores are typically similar to those of any department store, but the pricing of the goods is generally much lower (and hence the name “discount”). Think Dollar General Corporation, Dollar Tree, Inc. and Five Below, Inc. Many discount stores target low-income households and/or price-sensitive consumers as their potential market. Discount stores’ profitability could hinge on factors like competitive pricing, sufficient locations, healthy revenue per square foot, and effective advertisement. These store operators could have an edge over other retailers during financial crises or recessions, when many consumers could be looking for less expensive alternatives.
