Retailers are facing an uncertain market that has left even the most confident a bit unsure as to what might be coming next. Supply chains are back to normal, but now it’s the consumer that has changed.  Somehow, the behavior we expected to see is being replaced by a new attitude.   This has left many brands and retailers scrambling to figure out whether this is a short term aberration - or a longer term market shift. To answer this question I reached out to Carol Spieckerman, a top retail influencer and thought leader and  founder of Spieckerman Retail.   If you are looking to grow your retail business - even in tough times - she’s the person who can help you make that happen. Carol’s a go-to solution provider for brands and retailers who want help communicating clear value, sharpening their positioning and targeting, and accelerating their B2B business development. In this episode Carol will be discussing: 1. Why diversification is a key growth engine for the future of retail. 2. How retailers can successfully develop discretionary categories. 3. The huge opportunities in multi-channel retail and how brands can take advantage of this.
