From the Editor: It Takes Team Work

To My Retail Minded Readers, Retailers, Friends & Supporters:

There are so many things I love about my work, however among my most favorite is working with so many different people. I’m fortunate to work with all sides of retail – from distributors to wholesalers to industry supporters to retailers themselves. Not one single day is alike for me, and I absolutely love learning new things and meeting new people everyday.

This past weekend I got to spend an afternoon with one of my Advisers  whom I am also lucky to call a friend – Cathy Wagner of Retail Mavens (that’s us in the pic, by the way! Cathy on the left, myself on the right). If you haven’t already heard of her, be sure to check her website out and learn more about how she helps retailers. She’s a true retail pro and a great supporter of retailers – as well as Retail Minded. We’re lucky to live close enough to get together every now and again, as well!

One of the things Cathy and I enjoy most when we get together is brainstorming ways to better support independent retailers. We are always thinking of ways to best support indie store owners, and have lots of exciting projects we hope to work on together. This “team” spirit – I believe – is both refreshing and useful for businesses to gain from… and I hope you – as a retailer or other small business owner – take the time to work as a “team” as well. Whether reaching out to your vendors, connecting with local businesses with like-minded customers or collaborating with a distance store on your buys, there are so many ways you can work as a team… even as an indie.

Speaking of teamwork, Retail Minded is working with a lot of different companies to help bring the Independent Retailer Conference to life this May! Among the supporters of this one day event are the Retail Council of New York State, Snap Retail, ShopKeep POS, Moo.com and many more. We hope you will join us as we take a day to provide news, education and support for indie retailers while offering the chance to engage, learn and connect. Learn more here – IndieRetailerConference.com. Plus, get $30 off tickets (regular price $79.95) with code RETAILMINDED through March 15, 2013! Space is limited… but we hope to see you there!

Wishing you each health, success and prosperity… and great teamwork along the way!

Best,
