🧙 Retail Masterclass

Target is phasing out its long-standing price-matching program. This move shifts the focus back to perceived value rather than price parity.

Instead, strong pricing strategies, quality customer service, and exclusive offerings can build lasting trust.

💡 An Everyday Market Hack

The company also saw gains in loyalty program usage, reflecting how convenience and rewards continue to shape fast-food buying behavior.
