- Return to Product: How Great Brands
- Are Reclaiming the Spotlight
- Presenter:
Mike Kraus, Dun and Bradstreet Allbusiness.com Blogger and Former EVP with The Walt Disney Company, Viacom and Pure Beauty
Explore a number of concepts that have put the product in the spotlight and focused on ways to serve up products in a whole new way that are impacting in-store programs today and how you design and execute in-store programs.
The Product Mix: Give the people what they want, and give them something they can't find everywhere.
Customer Service: The true differentiator - engaging customers, then working with them to uncover their needs and provide solutions, not just a medium instead of a large is the missing link in retail today.
Product Training: Customers increasingly want more information. And they can find it in myriad of places - from websites to social networking sites. But in-store information is still lacking and provides the greatest opportunity to educate and inform customers.
Visual Merchandising: Customers still need direction, and are looking for retailers to do the homework for them. From product systems in beauty to a complete outfit in apparel, to a recipe and like products grouped together at the grocery, this confluence of retail, product manufacturing and P-O-P can positively influence customer purchasing habits.
