    Part 2 – Case Study Analysis (10 marks)

    The Local Newsagent

    In Laura’s community there is only one newsagent. It stocks a large range of goods and is well laid out and clean. Laura runs a small business from her home and finds herself popping into the newsagent’s at least once a week. Her purchases range from $3 to $15 most weeks.

    Despite the fact that she is in there so frequently, the owner never appears to recognise her. The owner is always business-like and efficient, however, and always gives the correct change. Laura doesn’t particularly enjoy going there, but there is no other newsagent so close to home.

    Then that changed. Another newsagent opened at the other end of the main row of shops. It is equally convenient for Laura to go there, so she called in the next time she needed stationery supplies. The woman greeted her and introduced herself as Chris, asking whether she could help Laura find anything in particular. ‘No thanks, I’ll just have a look around first,’ Laura replies.

    Laura concluded that, although the shop isn’t quite as well stocked as the other one, it will easily supply her needs. She paid for what she wanted and thanked Chris, who cheerfully said, ‘Thanks. See you next time!’

    Laura now purchases all her stationery needs from the second newsagency. She enjoys going in there and having a quick chat with Chris while she browses and picks up supplies. Laura’s expenditure now averages between $7 and &22.

    Questions

  • Although Laura shopped at the first newsagent regularly, was she loyal? Do you think the first newsagent confused ‘satisfaction’ or even ‘nowhere else to go’ with loyalty? Why is this dangerous for a business? How would you advise the first newsagent to proceed if she is to retain her customer base? In your answer, include a discussion on meeting the psychological needs of customers. (2 marks)
