Retail Minded to Launch “Boutique” Magazine

Retail Minded is excited to bring you news, education and support… the “boutique” way! Retail Minded The Magazine will debut in early 2012 as a quarterly trade publication dedicated to the lifestyle of retail. From inventory control to celebrity Q & A’s to maximizing your merchandising space to understanding how to invest in your future, Retail Minded The Magazine brings you expert advice from the industry’s top professionals, offers you solutions to your latest challenges and introduces you to all the industry must haves (or at least things to know about) from technology to online to storefront.

In addition to supporting retailers & wholesalers and their boutique businesses, we’ll look beyond storefronts and into the lives of retailers. Since we believe retail isn’t just a job but part of how we live, we’ll be extending Retail Minded to support you in your entire lifestyle – from financial planning to weekend getaways to shopping excursions to getting your taxes done. Our contributors will include experienced retailers, a range of entrepreneurs, struggling business owners (yes, they have valid points to share!), savvy retail experts and more – offering you a fresh, modern approach to understanding all things retail, including living your life beyond your store walls.

Are you excited to learn more? We hope so! Subscriptions are available now for our premiere year, debuting in January 2012. Learn more here! And thank you…. we couldn’t have gotten here without you!
