Competing with Big Boxes: How Independent Retailers & Restaurants Win and Keep Customers
Competing in the age of Amazon and being creative in a dynamic retail landscape is not an easy task when you are digging out of a sales slump or struggling with minimum wage increases and workforce shortages. Can we do a better job giving the big boxes a run for their money?
The Gate City Frontier, Inc. is very excited to bring retail expert Marc Willson to better explain how we can do just that! Marc has visited more than 2,000 communities in 36 states by bringing his expertise to help independent retailers and restaurants out maneuver the competition.
