Editorial Reviews

Review

'A book especially written for retailers which explains and demonstrates how to prepare and use a retail marketing plan. Chris Tideman was the first managing director of the Principles for Men chain, then chief executive of the Burton Retail chain and latterly, chief executive of the Retail Services and Development Sector of the Burton Group.' Men's Wear, London 13 May 1993
'This is a useful and practical guide to retail marketing planning which asks a lot of the right questions and delivers some helpful answers for both the retail marketing professional and the business student. A particular strength of this book is the use of examples of those who have got it right and, perhaps more usefully, those who got it wrong.'
Dr Alan Treadgold, Executive Director at the Australian Centre for Retail Studies at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
'Retail marketing is not product management as many commonly assume,
and McDonald and Tideman offer useful advice on managing the retail
environment and, more importantly, understanding the customer.'
Marketing Business, November 1996
