Hello, Looking Forward listeners! Thanks for tuning in! Today on Looking Forward we’re going to focus on the retail sector of the economy. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Episode #87, we’re going to explore how retailing has evolved over many decades right up until our present times. We’ll learn about how retailing might differ to some degree in various parts of the world, and about one of the latest trends in retail marketing. And we'll also take a look at what impact COVID-19 has had on the retail sector.
In Part 2 of this two-part series, we’ll take a further look at COVID’s impact on retail sales, why some retailers have succeeded in the retail market while others have not, what the future of retail sales might look like, and we’ll hear about some of the opportunities that may create for YOU… our Looking Forward listeners. Finally, we get some excellent guidance on how we can become better savvier shoppers.
To help us with all this, we’ve brought on a great guest. She’s Anne Cecil. With 40 years of professional retail merchandising experience plus over 30 years as an adult educator Anne Cecil is your ideal Merchandising Maven. Specializing in Visual Merchandising, Anne shares the strategies, tactics and practices that retailers use to change a browser into a customer. She has recently extended her “ONO (as in Yoko) made in the 191” consultancy programs into an online visual merchandising coaching platform, the VM-Club, designed to educate independent retailers on how to use this important Retail tool.
