The retail observer

“Diversification is more than adding a new product line or category. It is constantly evolving and changing your business to exceed the demands of the market. Remaining fluid in all things; how you layout and merchandise your showroom floor, to the training program you implement for your employees, even the marketing strategy you choose will position your business as one that stands out from the rest because it offers something different and meaningful to the customer. The look, feel and culture you create will define your niche in the marketplace. With an eye on the industry, The Retail Observer strives to provide our readers with a creative and diversified view of retail business; through educational articles written by industry experts, manufacturer and product highlights, industry news and first hand reviews from cutting edge trade events, you can count on us to deliver.”
