Nine Recommendations
1. Marketing message/value proposition received by all Columbus Region members
2. Harmonize web contents so that all members are consistent in site selection, links to Columbus Region
3. Create a roster of Class A buildings to demonstrate Columbus Region’s advantage with this product type
4. Establish a working group to accelerate development at Rickenbacker Rail Served Logistics Park
5. Identify new sites that can be ready for Jobs Ready Sites

EE--Commerce OverviewCommerce Overview
Types of New Commerce
• E-Commerce = Electronic Commerce (Computer, Laptop, Desktop)
• M-Commerce = Mobile Commerce (Phone, tablets, readers etc.)
• S-Commerce = Social Commerce (Derived from Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, etc.
What Retail Tells Us• National Retail Federation: retail growth for
2012 should be 3.4%, down from 4.7% growth in 2011 (GDP growth 2.1%-2.4%)
• Amazon growth in 2010 was 39.5%, revenue of $34.2 Billion– 52 Distribution Centers exist– 28 overseas order processing, fulfillment DC’s– 17 Distribution Centers proposed/planned– 1/5/2012, Two new DC sites announced in VA,
one in TN; 1/24/2012, new DC site announced in SC

Projected Impact of E-Commerce
• By 2025 it has been estimated that Ecommerce will represent 30% of all Retail Sales and account from 2.7 trillion in total sales (Source: Dematic)
• Within 5 years, the percentage of sales closed at physical stores vs. alternative sales channels (E-Commerce, M- Commerce and S-Commerce) will drop from 91% (today) to 76% (Deloitte Study)
Shipping’s Role in E-Commerce
• Fulfillment “promise” stipulates site selection and access to transportation networks and hubs
• “Free shipping” retains transactions (3/4 of consumers abandon shopping at checkout if shipping is not free)– Shipping solutions include “retail shipping clubs
based on purchase thresholds, linking free shipping to minimum orders or certain products (higher margins), customized delivery or providing free shipping on two or three day delivery solutions
Why Does all this Matter?• The logistics systems must continue to evolve
to support this new commerce channel,– Buildings, building configurations, processing
systems– Truck-load, less-than-truck load distances– Zone-skipping– Multiple air hubs – Truck Hubs– Customized deliver, disposal of products– And new job opportunities (WSJ: wanted e-
commerce chiefs: salary ranges $300k-500k according to top recruiters (11/15/2011)
How Are They Making It Work?
• Single DC supports national store replenishment and e-commerce order fulfillment
• Stand alone DC(s) for store replenishment and stand alone e-commerce fulfillment centers (in different locations)
• Third-party sourcing for all aspects of fulfillment and transaction support
• Third-party sourcing for selected goods to enhance product launch, seasonal products
