Staying ahead of the retail game

Article Abstract:

Creating a compelling reason for consumers to drive past competitors is the advice that retail consultant Jon Schallert gives to camera stores. He says that it is no longer enough to compete on product and price alone but there must also be a convincing reason for consumers to patronize their services and products. Schallert adds that marketing should be more personalized than prepackaged and should communicate the stores' personality. He says this can be best be done by identifying the stores' best or the top 20% customers.
