SOME OTHER FORMS OF NON-STORE RETAILING

AIRPORT RETAILINGIn past, the leading airport retailers were fast food outlets, tiny gift stores, and newspaper/magazine stands. Today airports are a major mecca of retailing. At virtually every large airport, as well as at every medium ones, there are full-blown shopping areas.

ADVANTAGES OF NON STORE RETAILING

Its freedom from a physical retail presence. The high fixed costs of operating retail outlets are

eliminated. The breadth of customer coverage is considerably

wider than is possible with an individual retail location.

Companies do not have to spend large sums or dilute stock building new locations, or acquiring them.

This truly gives the non-store retailer a global market from a cheap, centralized location.

DISADVANTAGES OF NON STORE RETAILING.

There is also the fear of credit card abuse and mail fraud, both related to the sense of detachment that not holding a prospective purchase brings.

And since most of us do not have the luxury of a pricey T1 Internet connection, we must still deal with painfully slow connections.
