  • Target has revolutionized the entire shopping experience, from the width of the aisles and the weight of the shopping carts to the smell of Starbucks coffee and placement of dollar bins. The tactics are paying off. Despite the pandemic, profits rose more than 80% year over year. Here's how Target uses dollar bins and online sales to keep customers hooked.

    The main reason most people go to target is because they are fairly clean, organized, the employees are nice. And the products are of decent quality. Waaaaaaaaay better than walmart.

    • @rrdcreates
      @rrdcreates 3 ปีที่แล้ว +107

      While the organization and layout is awesome, the product quality is largely the same as Walmart. It’s the perceived value that makes the difference. The hanes tshirt at target is the same quality as Walmart - you just don’t have to step over items thrown around or half torn open packaging. They do have their own private label brands and special products, but don’t assume they’re any better than what would be the Walmart alternative - usually made in the same fashion, similar factories, etc.

      Walmart has a similar app, but like its store, it feels clunky. Target (app & store) on the other hand feels very fresh and clean. I also feel the same way about TJ Maxx and Bed, Bath, & Beyond. There's a certain aesthetic they have that is very easy on the eyes & feels very "comfy & pretty" -- the kind of aesthetic that existed long before Instagram came unto the scene.

    • @gateauxq4604

      Their app is lightyears ahead of most retailer’s and theyre always working to improve it. Last year you had to covert Shipt fees with a credit card but before the pandemic it was switched so the delivery charges (including tips) will use Target cards as well. Just one huuuuge change that has made the app more user friendly. The store finder tho? That is some next level stuff other stores are still blundering through.

      As observed lately, interest in making a fortune from cryptocurrency keeps growing but a lot of people seem to delve in without a properly laid out strategy which is very important irrespective of your hodling or trading route. What is paramount to avoid losses is trying out several strategies and sticking to that which works for as long as it works and I came to this resolution when I stumbled upon some information about a crypto expert named Mr, mason and once I contacted him, he helped me develop a good technique and with his daily support using his trade strategies and tutorials, I have been doing pretty well as a trader from the market, making a minimum of 5 btc in profit for the last 3 months I have been using his system. A signal is extremely accurate and I intend sticking to his aid for as long as possible. He can be reached at Whatspp : *+17814864690* for all crypto-related inquiries.

    Never shopped at Target before but now that I have a little one I'm hooked. Best place for baby stuff and washing detergent. They give you gift cards for shopping there. For example they have buy 2 cans of baby formula and you get a $10 gift card. If you buy $100 worth of pampers you get a $20 gift card....list goes on. I tell all the moms to check it out.

    • @nancynolan4117

      But, here's the thing. Most of the time, it's still cheaper to buy the stuff at Walmart, even when you factor in the cost of the gift card. That's certainly the case with the Tide/Bounce deals they run every three weeks or so.

    I love Target. I invariably get Target gift cards for my birthdays, and I get happy as soon as I enter the store. It's no small factor that red is my favorite color (especially for clothing and fashion accessories and my kitchen decor), and that color is everywhere and just perks me right up for shopping. I love the new designs for picnicware each summer, the autumn linens, the adorable Easter outfits for little children, the winter holiday themed throw pillows/socks/serving trays. I love the $1 bins and the $9 knit tops that I can pick up in several colors because I know which size will fit (though I wish they'd stayed with Merona; it took me a while to adjust to New Day or whatever it's called). Hooked, indeed!

It might be interesting but I can never get everything I need, either because they just don’t carry it or they’re out in my area, whereas I can at other places. And especially now, if I only went there for groceries I would think there was a serious meat or food shortage.

    It’s hilarious, they say you can easily find target employees. Nowadays, they’re so impossible to find because they look like everyone else! I understand not wanting to do red and khaki anymore, but there’s not even the “Target red“ anymore for their shirts. so I’m always having to stare at people for a long time until I can figure out if they actually work there or not. When I used to work there years ago and it wasn’t “brand” to dress in specific types of reds. I would get in trouble for doing it wrong, even wearing red and white striped shirts, if it wasn’t 90% red, I would get in trouble. I do like the way that they’re moving, but when it comes to their employees dress code, I definitely am really disappointed because it’s so random now that there’s no way to really know who is who.
