Chief Operating Officer Bob Ramsey has had over thirty years of experience working in the retail industry. He currently manages pricing strategy and operations at Bailey’s, an internet retailer based in Woodland, CA that specializes in a unique assortment of professional outdoor work gear and equipment. Bailey’s pricing strategy isn’t to charge customers at the cheapest price, but rather to create a relationship between the consumer, product and price that eliminates price as being the decision-making factor for purchases. Bob says Bailey’s “will be profitable and will make money, regardless of the prices it charges.”
Bailey’s has a dynamic relationship with competitive intelligence, as the retailer’s niche marketplace doesn’t have as much access to competitive data as larger grocery retailers. Bailey’s collects most of their customer data through their shipping procedures and by accessing and watching their Amazon sales. The internet retailer thrives on being able to differentiate from Amazon by printing in-mail ads and having convenient shipping processes. Bailey’s will also be the first customer of Engage3’s new “personalized promotions” platform, and Bob hopes to work with Engage3 to expand customer relationships.
