Local Competition:

Home decor is involving overtime since it can affect everything from our self-perception to our feelings and productivity. The business has enormous competition that are selling Home decor. From doing reach, I have narrowed it down to three of my competitors. The competitors are Wayfair, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Homesense. Each of these businesses has trigging strengths but do contain some weakness.

Wayfair: 

Webite: wayfair.com

Quick information-

Wayfair specializes in the online world. Wayfair is one of the best online stores. They are known as "leading online retailer." They have one store physical store in Natick, Massachusetts. They offer millions of home furnishings options, and it would be impossible even to show a small portion of their product in physical stores. Wayfair is known for their furniture options and a more comprehensive range of prices than you'll find in most furniture stores. Did you know that Wayfair sells everything you could need for your home with a broader selection than even Amazon. They have over 7 million different options in home decor.

Strengths (Promotion/sales, Customer service)

Promotion/sales-

Wayfair has intriguing Promotion. From doing research that I found that promotions are always ongoing, which keeps their customers active. They have Daily sales of up to 70% off, Seasonal sales, coupons codes, and free shipping over $49. Shipping is a significant value for customers when placing an order.

Price-

Wayfair's product ranges in price from high end to low budget items. Wayfair website always provides the picture-perfect family look that is affordable on any budget.

Customer service-

Shopping online can be much more comfortable than driving from store to store. Delivery can be complicated. This company has delivery methods. You must pick a delivery method for large items at checkout so we can ensure a smooth delivery. This company has a customer page that gets customer attention to look at it. They have a Wayfair Rewards Program, WayFair@Home free online magazine, and Wayfair Room Inspiration Page, which provides great inspiration and ideas for holiday decorating, entertaining, DIY projects.  

The community-

The Wayfair Charitable Giving Program encourages company employees to set an example by donating their time and money to nonprofit organizations. Every WayFair team member is also given a day off every year to participate in a community service project.

The company itself donates $75,000 every year to qualified charitable organizations and additional money to emergency relief funds.

Wayfair is proud to support:

Habitat for Humanity International, an organization that helps to make comfort and shelter a reality for everyone by building affordable housing.

Cradles to Crayons provides children in need with the items they need to thrive at home, at school, and during play from birth through age 12.

FamilyAid Boston, a charity dedicated to providing homelessness prevention assistance,, supports homeless families with emergency shelter programs and affordable permanent housing.

Weakness of Wayfair:

From having your business online, you will find aways issues. Wayfair struggles with items occasionally do not match their online picture, and Shipping and handling are not refunded for returns.

Here are some key points that this business is facing: criticism after employees protested the company's apparent sale of mattresses destined for a border detention camp for children. Some customers and companies are boycotting the online furniture retailer until the company apologizes.

Bed Bath and Beyond

webite: https://www.bedbathandbeyond.ca/

Strengths (Products, Target Market and Forms of Promotion/sales)

Products-

Bed Bath and Beyond is a home furnishing store. The one thing people love is that they sort their categories well. The categories they have are Bed & Bath, Kitchen, Dining, Home Décor, Storage and Cleaning, Baby and Kids, and Seasonal. Did you know that they have additional products they offer, such as traveling supplies such as luggage, backpacks and briefcase, Pet supplies, Wedding essentials.

Target Market-

Bed Bath and Beyond target people that are homeowners. Since they have their vast selections for home-based products, research shows they have a higher number of customers looking for supplies to put in or out of their houses.

Forms of Promotion/sales-

Bed Bath and Beyond's slogan is "Beyond any store of its kind." This Company does well with pricing strategies. The business will have one commonly used in internet coupons, email promotions, and in-store/ online deals.

Weakness: ( Dependence on technology)

One of the weaknesses that this business carries is a dependence on technology. Bed Bath & Beyond shifts its merchandising and marketing online, it will rely more heavily on technology. While the Company will gain some expertise from the people and systems it acquires. The Company is not at its core of technology yet and has a competition with Wayfair and Amazon. It is not at its core a technology company. Other information shows the Company is talking about is how it will require changes from the boardroom to the shipping desk.

Homesense

Website: https://www.homesense.ca

Strengths ( product frequently changes, Stores/ Customer needs )

Product changes frequently-

Home sense's selections change more frequently than our other home decor business. Every time you go into Homesense, there is always something to look at; people call it "Treasure hunt." Cumsotes will by brought they tend to see since they don't hold replenishment stock in back rooms, and most of the time, store managers don't even know what's coming until they throw open the delivery truck doors!

HomeSense Stores/ Customer needs-

This business is very flexible. They have no walls divided between departments, so they can quickly expand and contract merchandise departments to respond to new trends and customer needs.

Weakness: ( Product and Promotion )

Product-

From sometimes having their selections of products that change so quickly, they do have downfalls. It will be a hit or miss on things you might be looking for in the store and keeping an online website for the customers to by their products. HomeSense locations are created equal. With their inventories changing constantly, they struggle with reliability, cleanliness, organization, and to meet customer services.

Promotions-

This business's weakness is a lack of promotion forms since they don't use coupon sales or gimmicks. They place their new and exciting merchandise. Now I understand that products are 20%-60% below the full-price retail; some customers still find it high.

How to Increase Your Chances of Winning a Bidding War

You’ve found the house you love. But, apparently, so have other buyers — and it’s the same house. When several buyers want to compete for the same property, how do sellers choose among offers? What can you do to increase your chances of getting the home? Freshome asked several experts to share the secrets of winning a bidding war.

An amicable relationship can work in your favor. Image: Haywire Media/Shutterstock

Get to know the listing agent

We’re not recommending that you schmooze — although it might help. “Befriending the listing agent is a great idea,” Tracey Hampson at Realty One Group in Valencia, CA, says. “I always make a point of speaking with the listing agent and asking who she would like to use for services like escrow and title. Here in California, it is the listing agent who normally chooses. And I ask if there is anything specific the seller is looking for,” Hampson explains. She says you can get a lot of information out of a phone call.

Tory Keith, President of Natick, MA-based real estate firm Board and Park, agrees. “A good buyer’s agent will always have a conversation with the seller’s agent to get a feel for how competitive the situation is, whether there are terms besides price that are important to the seller and whether there will be a second opportunity to present best and final offers.” However, if the home is FSBO, you and your agent will need to get to know the seller since no agent will be involved on their end.

Make sure your agent is up to the task. Image: Jeff Manes/Getty Images

Choose your own agent carefully

It’s important to get to know the seller’s agent, but make sure you know your agent as well. “An agent’s reputation can and does have an effect on the offer process,” says April Macowicz, Broker Associate and Team Owner at The MAC Group RE in San Diego, CA. “If your agent has a reputation for being difficult, you can say goodbye to that home, especially in a bidding war,” she warns.

Try to accommodate the seller. Image: 10’000 Hours/Getty Images

Make the seller’s life easier

If you can give the seller more time or reduce their level of stress, you might give yourself an edge. “One way to make your offer stand out is by either removing the inspection contingency or reducing the timelines on those,” Macowicz says. “If you can get away with having a 5-day inspection period, that looks a lot better to the seller than a 17-day inspection period.”

This is why it’s important to meet with the seller’s agent to find out what the seller cares about. “There is nothing worse than writing a full price cash offer to close in 30 days when the seller needs 90 days to move out,” says Tom Matthews of the Tom and Joanne Team at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty.

And letting the seller set the moving date is another way to gain an advantage. “Put in the contract that you will accommodate the seller’s closing/moving date,” advises Sissy Lappin, Founder of ListingDoor.com.

Don’t underestimate the power of offering more money. Image: Don Farrall/Getty Images

Money is important

Of course, a higher offer is usually the first thing that buyers consider. And Jon Tetrault, a team director at The Nick Slocum Team at Slocum Realty in Rhode Island, offers some advice on how to create a compelling offer.

“Make sure you run the numbers to be sure that the neighborhood supports the price you’re offering, but the higher the offer, the better your chances,” Tetrault says. “I always suggest buyers go slightly above an even number.” So, if the home is listed at $300,000 and his buyers want to offer $302,000, Tetrault suggests offering $302,250. “That will give them a leg up in the event that someone else offers $302,000,” Tetrault says.

Another tip is to make the offer as clean as possible, Hampson says. “Don’t ask for any money towards closing costs, etc.”

Be charming. Image: MirageC/Getty Images

Attach a short note

Lappin also recommends including a short note on what you love about the home — like the architectural details — and why you want to make it your own. “I did this on one home that had seven offers and the seller was adamant the ‘nice lady’ was going to get her home,” Lappin says.

However, Vivian Cobb of Colorado Springs, CO-based Cobb Real Estate is against including notes and letters. “Remember, this is a business deal and it’s about what makes sense for the seller,” she says. “Keeping emotions out of it is good advice.”

BOSTON (State House News Service) – Attorney General Maura Healey on Friday plans to ask state regulators to not only reject Eversource’s request to boost its electric rates by $96 million but to also order that the utility decrease the rates it charges customers.

Eversource in January filed a request with the Department of Public Utilities to raise its charges by 7 percent in eastern Massachusetts and by roughly 10 percent in the western part of the state, with the first phase of increases taking place Jan. 1, 2018.

Healey’s office has been challenging the request and on Friday afternoon plans to file a brief arguing that the proposed increase is unwarranted.

“As customers and businesses across our state are looking to trim their costs, now is not the time to burden them with a 20 percent bill hike to benefit a company that is already highly profitable,” Healey said in a statement. “Customers in Massachusetts deserve a decrease in rates, not hundreds of millions in extra charges.”

The plan would raise rates by $284 million over five years, adding nearly 20 percent to customers’ electricity bills, according to Healey’s office.

Through subsidiaries NStar Electric and Western Massachusetts Electric Company, Eversource has 1.4 million electricity customers in 140 Massachusetts communities.

In an email to customers, Eversource this week said the rate change “requests a net increase in annual delivery revenue of $60.2 million, representing a 7 percent increase in those revenues to support our electric distribution operations.” The request responds “to increases in operating and maintenance costs and capital costs associated with investments in the electric network since the last decision by the DPU approving a general distribution rate increase in 2006,” the email said.

“Customers are experiencing fewer and shorter outages as a result of our smart investments in sophisticated technology,” Craig Hallstrom, president of Massachusetts Electric Operations at Eversource, said in a January statement announcing the filing. “We’ve also worked hard to improve reliability for customers with efforts like our enhanced tree trimming programs, all while holding the line on rising costs. Now, we’re proposing to increase that commitment and utilize the latest engineering advances – including electric vehicle infrastructure and energy storage systems – for the benefit of customers.”

Eversource in June filed a revised proposal, shifting revenues between the eastern and western parts of the state compared to the original filing.

Healey’s brief asks the DPU to reject Eversource’s multi-year rate plan, arguing the “proposal creates an up-front guessing game that creates substantial risks for ratepayers that Eversource’s electric distribution companies will be over-compensated, with very little risk for [the company] that it will suffer low returns.”

Previously, Healey has asked the DPU to look into the company’s average rate of return on equity, urging regulators in March to ensure Eversource “is not over-earning at the expense of its customers.”

The brief Healey plans to file on Friday challenges the need for a rate increase, pointing to what Healey’s office described as “outsized investor returns.” According to the brief, Eversource shareholders in 2015 and 2016 “earned far more” than others who made similar investments.

The DPU has been holding public hearings on the rate increase request, with the next scheduled for July 26 at the department’s Boston offices, followed by Aug. 1 in Pittsfield and Aug. 2 at Cape Cod Community College.

A group of local officials and environmental groups have also raised concerns about Eversource’s proposal, which they say would reduce the compensation paid to cities and towns for solar projects by about 40 percent.

“The Eversource proposal that impacts these municipal solar projects is part of broader rate proposals to reduce customer control over bills and lower incentives for local clean energy,” Acadia Center staff attorney Mark LeBel said in a statement. “Eversource’s proposals would set back efforts to promote energy efficiency, electric vehicles, storage, and efficient electric heating too. The DPU should be looking for economically sensible ways to advance innovative clean energy efforts and should not roll back the progress the Commonwealth has made to date.”

Officials from Arlington, Lexington, Natick, Newton, Wayland, Weston and Westwood signed a comment letter to the DPU saying their communities stand to lose a combined $32 million over the next 20 years if the proposed rate change goes into effect.
