Strategies for a Changing Retail World

Presented by George Whalin, Retail Management Consultants

Whenever there are significant changes in the economy, consumer buying habits and the consumer marketplace in general, it's important for retailers to look at what they are doing, as well as what they are not doing to improve, fine-tune and grow their businesses. Rather than being reactionary in tough times, it is far more productive to challenge the status quo, evaluate all the costs associated with operating a retail business in this new environment and re-position the business for when the economy turns around. In this eye-opening presentation, retail expert George Whalin will discuss five things retailers should STOP doing and five things they should START doing right now to survive and thrive in today’s economic turmoil. The ideas and tips in this valuable presentation are real-world solutions to the challenges retailers face every day in these difficult times. This is a program you won’t want to miss!
