It keeps low costs by buying goods directly from suppliers; reducing spending on marketing; renting small commercial settings with a budget interior solutions and using economical energy suppliers (Tyler, & Taylor, 2018). Still, according to their corporate strategy to provide customers with high-quality products and services, I suppose that Trader Joe’s rather follow a strategy of a differentiator rather than a cost leader. On the one hand, the company strives to provide customers with exceptional products from local suppliers. On the other hand, it concentrates on the impeccable experience of shopping. Buyers feel like privileged members of a closed club with many discounts and perks. Employees undergo special training courses and provide unquestionable service to customers. They do not only try to make the shopping experience comfortable but also share helpful information with clients (e.g. recipes).ReferencesSchaefer, M. (2022, February 1).
