家得宝

<p>家得宝将在感恩节和圣诞节关闭门店，以与沃尔玛的政策保持一致。这一战略举措考虑到假期人流量较低，并旨在提升员工士气。尽管上个季度人流量下降了 0.4%，但预计关闭门店不会对销售产生显著影响</p>

<p>Home Depot has always sort of done its own thing as a large retailer.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>家得宝作为一家大型零售商，一直以来都保持着自己的风格。</p>
</div><p>Whereas other retailers may hire any old person to stock shelves or ring up purchases, Home Depot tends to hire knowledgeable sales associates who are trained in specific trades.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>而其他零售商可能会雇佣任何人来补货或收银，家得宝则倾向于雇佣那些在特定行业经过培训的知识丰富的销售助理。</p>
</div><p>If you need help finding the right bedroom paint, for example, there's a person for that. If you're being brave and tackling a bathroom remodel on your own, there are store associates who can guide you toward the right materials.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>例如，如果你需要帮助找到合适的卧室油漆，就会有专人提供帮助。如果你勇敢地自己进行浴室改造，店内的员工可以指导你选择合适的材料。</p>
</div><p>Plus, the very nature of Home Depot is that it's a store customers tend to need year-round. That's why Home Depot maintains long hours throughout the year, opening as early as 6 a.m. and closing as late as 10 p.m.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>此外，家得宝的本质就是一个顾客全年都需要的商店。这就是为什么家得宝全年保持长时间营业，早上 6 点开门，晚上 10 点关门。</p>

</div><h2>Home Depot rarely closes stores</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>家得宝很少关店</h2>
</div><p>Many retailers close their doors to shoppers multiple times during the year. It's pretty common, in fact, for stores to be closed on holidays that include Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>许多零售商在一年中的多个时间段关闭商店。事实上，商店在纪念日、7 月 4 日和劳动节等假期关闭是相当普遍的。</p>
</div><p>Home Depot, though, stays open almost every day of the year. And part of the reason is that the company prides itself on being perpetually available to customers.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>家得宝的战略决策</h2>
</div><p>Closing twice a year makes sense for Home Depot for a couple of reasons.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>一年关两次店对家得宝来说是有意义的，原因有几个。</p>
</div><p>First, the company maintains huge stores, similar in size to the Costco warehouses many customers find impressive but overwhelming.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>首先，公司维持着巨大的商店，规模类似于许多顾客觉得令人印象深刻但又让人感到压倒的好市多仓库。</p>
</div><p>It costs money just to keep a store that large running for a day. And given that Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't really big home-improvement days, foot traffic is likely to be minimal at those times.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>仅仅维持这样一个大商店的运营就需要花费资金。而考虑到感恩节和圣诞节并不是大型家居改善的日子，那个时候的客流量可能会很少。</p>
</div><p>It's just not worth the cost of staying open for what could be only a handful of customers.</p>
