The decisions you made 3-6 months ago on how you were going
to market your company during the holiday season are now in play. Were you
right? Is the economy or customer buying habits any different from what you
thought it would be? Let’s also look into the future together. What pressures
do you see on retailers to survive the first quarter? What are you going to
have to do differently to beat last year’s numbers? Do you see any real
merchandising trends that will drive your business? Are online sales going to
make or break your company?

 This is a community of entrepreneurial retailers who thought
they had a better idea then the chains and have put their heart and soul into
realizing their dreams. We gather here not as competitors, but as forward
thinking business people who share the common goal of making a difference in
the retail world for our customers and employees. By sharing our thoughts and
insights, we can make that difference.
