Pulling Back the Curtain On Effective Supplier Relationship Management: Top Sourcing and Supply Chain Executives to Convene & Discuss Best Practices in Effective SRM

Oak Brook, IL (PRWEB) June 14, 2006 –- The Best Practices Xchange (www.bestpracticesxchange.com) is scheduled to meet on June 19, 2006. The one day summit entitled, “The Best Practices Xchange (BPX)”, includes a “Who’s Who” of the Midwest’s top Strategic Sourcing and Supply Chain Executives. The upcoming meeting will focus on the challenges posed by effective Supplier Relationship Management (SRM).

Effective Supplier Relationship Management has constantly been identified as on ongoing challenge. It is clearly recognized that the sourcing process leading up to the contract has been nothing but an expense to both sides. Real value is exchanged between the parties only after the contract is signed. Therefore, Supplier Relationship Management becomes the most critical activity to ensure maximum value is exchanged. With that hypothesis in mind, the agenda for the next BPX meeting will revolve around Supplier Relationship Management.

Study of Affluent Consumers Confirms Need for Multi-Channel Marketing Strategies and Mix of Casual and Dressy Merchandise

A recent study of affluent Americans’ fashion preferences confirms what many merchants and brands have suspected: affluent consumers shop a wide range of channels for clothing and purchase a wide range of apparel and brands.

The percent of respondents saying that a mix of casual and dressy is “always important” is 44%, slightly higher than the percent saying “classic and timeless” is always important (38%).

To prove the point about mix of clothing brands, the top brands purchased included both Ralph Lauren and GAP. Ann Taylor is the most purchased brand overall.

One in two customers name a designer brand among their top three brands bought/worn most often in the last 12 months.

Most affluent customers’ spending on apparel occurs in varying degrees across all thirteen channels measured (including upscale department stores such as Neiman Marcus, online retailers such as bluefly.com, or catalogs such as Lands’ End). The range is from a low of 2.7% spent at discounters/mass merchants (such as Wal-Mart) to 15.7 % at premium department stores (such as Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s).

Almost one in two customers buys some apparel online.

The study was conducted by Premium Knowledge Group and involved 992 consumers (male and female) with average household income in excess of $240K. The study’s results are projectable to the top 5% of the U.S. population. Other interesting findings include:

iPhone Propelling AT&T Wireless Cell Phone Sales Across The Board

Whether iPhone lives up to the hype, it certainly has affected the cell phone market. The free advertising that iPhone generated has done much to boost the perception of AT&T as the undisputed cell phone leader, plus it has contributed to the proliferation and popularity of many other music phones.

"In the buildup to the iPhone release, and particularly since then, our AT&T sales have increased some 54%," said Sam Michelson, CEO of online cell phone store, YouNeverCall. "Music phone sales have taken off, particularly Cingular phones, which, of course, are now AT&T Wireless."

Healthy Weight Week, Jan. 21 - 27, Celebrates Sound Lifestyle Habits

Are you sick of advertising that portrays American women as excessively thin, hollow-eyed, and self-absorbed?

If so, you may be happy to know that during Healthy Weight Week, Jan. 21-27, health providers across the country emphasize the value of maintaining one's own natural weight, rather than losing weight.

The year 2006 was not reassuring. It was a year in which fashion industry moguls admitted that a size zero is no longer thin enough for them: they demand models in size double zero, negative zero, and even negative two. The death in Brazil last November of model Ana Carolina Reston, who reportedly carried just 88 pounds on her 5-foot-8 frame, and three other self-starvation deaths in quick succession within a few weeks in that country, caused an uproar, but little effective change. While the city council in Madrid, Spain, did start a small rebellion, banning models with a body mass index under 18 from the Madrid Fashion Week runways, a move that reportedly would bar up to 40 percent, model agencies deny their models are too thin. They reject regulation of any kind. "We just wouldn't use someone who was really underweight or too thin," says Sarah Doukas, Kate Moss's agent.
