Business Seminar with Barbara Wold

"Strategies for a Changing Retail World"....featuring Barbara Wold 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. Rather than being reactionary in changing times, it is far more productive to challenge the status quo, evaluate this new environment and re-position the business for the new economy. Five things to STOP doing and five things to START doing right now to thrive in today’s economic turmoil. • Customer satisfaction is worthless – customer loyalty is priceless • Time is the new currency -- How to react to customer needs • Short-term & long-term strategies for gaining customers • Effective customer-driven strategies • How to prioritize customer experience touch points While consistently delivering an excellent product or service is the biggest key to a successful business, loyalty programs help attract new customers and, most importantly, ensure repeat visits from your current patrons. Change it up: Evolve promotions to encourage customers to try new products. Keeping your patrons engaged leads them to come back for more! The ideas and tips in this valuable presentation are real-world solutions to the challenges faced everyday in these new changing times. This is a program you won’t want to miss!
