The article reveals the main trends in the development of retail chains in the perfume and cosmetics market of Ukraine, highlights the activities of the largest drogerie chains (market leaders in perfumes and cosmetics identified as Eva, Watsons, Prostor and Cosmo, last two merged in 2020 in one chain). The main trends that influence the formation of marketing sales marketing strategies and the main aspects of the development of retail chains of the perfume and cosmetics market were analyzed; the directions of development and use of marketing sales channels were identified. It has been found that, despite engrafted omnichannel elements, drogerie chains do not use all marketing channels, which reduces the effectiveness of marketing efforts. A comparison of development rate of the world and domestic markets of perfume and cosmetics is made. According to statistics, the growth of the Ukrainian market is steady, not ahead of world indicators. The Ukrainian cosmetics market during 2009–2020 shows an upward trend, during these years the growth rate ranges from 2% (the lowest value is observed in 2011) to 3.8% (in 2019) ergo the industry is developing, the demand for cosmetic products is growing. Starting from 2019 a significant part of the market gained by Makeup.ua, an online cosmetics store without any traditional store. None of the perfume and cosmetics chains, national or international with large chain of stores, exceeded 0.5% of the Ukrainian market in 2019 and 2020. So, the leaders are set: 2 national drogerie chains, one international and one online store. It is proposed to introduce a systematic approach in retail chain marketing channel strategy, which in contrast to the existing ones considers the specific features of the retail chain. This approach allows determining the need for the formation of new marketing channels or optimization of existing ones to increase the effectiveness of marketing sales strategy of the retail chain. Analysis of statistical data on retail trade turnover of Ukraine by regions and categories of goods allowed determining regions and cities of concentration of retail enterprises. It has been established that consumers of perfumes and cosmetics in Ukraine prefer to buy in physical stores, but channels such as online store and applications double the turnover annually due to the development of technology, mobile communication and reducing consumer distrust of virtual channels sales.

The purpose of the article is to identify the structural and regional peculiarities of developing retail trade in Ukraine during 1990–2019. On the basis of the research the author has come to conclusion that the process of developing retail trade in Ukraine during the years 1990–2018 can be divided into four periods, two of which (2000–2013 and 2016–2018) show positive dynamics of changes in the industry, and the other two (1991–1999 and 2014–2016) reflect the negative consequences of the processes that took place in the country’s economy at that time. The structure of retail trade of the whole period analyzed, with the exception of 1993–2001, was dominated by non-food goods. Their share increased from 55.6 % in 1990 to 61.5 % in 2018. The turnover structure at retail trade enterprises in 2005–2013 varied from region to region: in some regions the volume of retail turnover was increasing, while in others it was shrinking. The analysis has showed that during 2005–2019, the structure of Ukraine’s retail trade turnover was dominated by consumer goods produced in the country, but their share fell from 70.5% to 52.4%. The realization of consumer goods in Ukraine during the period analyzed was carried out mainly through traditional sales channels (i.e., shops). The research has resulted in proving that the share of trade turnover made with payment cards increased from 21.3 % to 30.8 % during 2017–2019. At the same time, retail trade, carried out by way of executing bank loan agreements, accounted for a small share, ranging from 2.2 to 2.4 %. A thorough analysis of the commodity structure of retail trade and that of the regional peculiarities of Ukrainian consumers’ preferences can serve as future research perspectives in this direction.

A study was conducted to investigate marketing channel and value chain of two commercially important marine fish species in Cox’s Bazar area, Bangladesh, namely, Bombay duck Harpodon nehereus and Ribbon fish, Trichiurus haumela. Three types of markets were found in the study namely primary, secondary and retail markets. The number of sample fishermen and intermediaries were 120. About 4 to 5 intermediaries were found to be involved in the each marketing chain and this group is believed to make huge profit, thus the prices of fishes were very high in the final consumer market. Marketing margin for fresh Bombay duck and ribbon fish were 29% and 28% and dried Bombay duck and dried ribbon fish were 35% and 19% of consumer purchase price, respectively. Poor transport facilities and huge number of intermediaries in the marketing channels were the main problems of marine fish marketing channel. Government intervention in the marketing channel is necessary for sustainable fish marketing systems.Progressive Agriculture 27 (2): 222-227, 2016

This article describes how fresh fruit bunches grown by oil palm smallholders are incorporated into oil palm marketing models in Indonesia. This emotional network marketing model is a supplementary model of marketing models in Malaysia which is called factory centered and middleman model. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data was collected by conducted in-depth interviews with 28 informants coming from 4 (four) categories of oil palm smallholders: oil palm tauke (middleman) that included big tauke and small tauke, workers in the loading ramps, and workers in the oil palm factories who were involved in oil palm marketing channels. The result of the research showed that the oil palm marketing channel between smallholders and either small tauke and big tauke was based on an emotional network with a strong bond of friendship, brotherhood, dwelling location, cash payment, giving loan with reasonable requirements, and providing transportation for fresh fruit bunches. In contrast, oil palm marketing channel among smallholders, loading ramp buyers, and POF was based on regulations. This writing presented a different perspective of oil palm marketing channels in general by involving the emotional network of the existing actors for getting fresh fruit bunches and the advantages of oil palm marketing. In this marketing model, there is a longer marketing channel and actors with their varied roles.
