Of course, if you purchase a good quality brand (say Peter Storm) this is unnecessary.(

Actually with the incresed personalisation of the shopper experience through data collection and analysisthis isn't as far fetched as it sounds

They do not cater for individuals, they cater for what gets sold out the quickest.It's not personalisation its stock control.

They do not cater for individuals.They do not ship products specifically for one person through their entire logistics chain, pay someone to unload them and then pay someone to put it on a shelf for one person to buy them.

NoBut I have experience with large grocery reatilers, and the amount of effort that goes into ranging the correct products is incredible and far more complex than we sell lots of X so stock more.

I'm a analyst, you say it's a lot of effort but the principle maths is based on not being sold out.Just on enourmous databases. The "effort" and "thought" is managment bull shit, it's a formular.

Sadly he is correct. They make it look personalised. Because we only shop in supermarkets and they only sell certain lines, you think tou have a choice catered to your tastes.
(, Thu 12 Jul 2012, 14:44, Reply)
of course they don't alter their offering for individuals, I ws being facetious but every purchase that you make has a bearing on what is stocked, what will be stocked and what will no longer be stocked.

Only for brands within lines of stock. It's all pretty much fixed. Example: when was the last time you saw fresh artichokes in a s/m? Now I fucken love 'em, as do all right minded people, but will shitcunt Tesco's stock them? No!

I'm afraid as a sample of 1 your opinion doesn't countwhether something is in or out, does not simply depend on how popular the item is, it is also dependent non many other factors that i can't, should'nt and can't be bother to get into.

Genuinely, I would get firedbut as someone who is in the business, rather than a analyst for the NHS who is arguing for the sake of it, what i say is true.
The investment of time and money into the personalisation of your shopping trip, nearest store etc is far more than I suspect most people realise.

I know exactly what's going on.Someone managery thinks we must put demographic predition into a sales forecast. Analyst says ok, puts it in doesn't make a statistical difference, manager says put it in anyway. Analyst does but weighs it as 0.0000001% of overall volume. Manager goes to bosses saying he's improved the forecast. Rinse and repeat for sex, children in household, pets, clubcard data, phone surveys, smell of bread as you walk in, wine offers etc.
Managers go on about how they're taking all variables into account. Analysts sigh.
