Book Description

1875750185 978-1875750184 July 14, 2003
Practical advice by people who have done it and helped others do it. Just one example: how a small store turned a sale into a community event - cleared old stock, sold more, made a profit, raised cash for a charity, had fun and had customers making sure they were on the invitation list for next year

Our feeling is that retailers are going to want to dip into this book for ideas as they go, so we've made the contents listing extensive and included an extensive index. There are also margin notes of cross references. It's a book to keep by you and refer to again and again.


Editorial Reviews

Review

packed with useful information...I highly recommend it to anyone who contemplates buying or starting a retail operation of any kind -- Peter Hupalo, author "Thinking Like an Entrepreneur"

About the Author

Geoffrey Heard is a marketing and communications consultant with wide experience in all facets of marketing and promotion, particularly for small businesses. He has a Degree in Psychology and a Diploma in Marketing

Gordon Woolf learned about retail in after-school hours in a grocery store. At 15, he was trusted to run a greengrocery in the East End of London. While becoming a journalist and publisher he worked on market stalls, had a half-share in a bookshop in Sydney’s Kings Cross, and a small offset printery. Eventually he and his wife broke from newspapers to buy, run and then sell, at a substantial profit, a convenience store in a major town.

Though from different backgrounds the authors have in common a belief in ethical marketing and that in all deals one should "leave a dollar for the other guy".

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but short, July 15, 2005

Jon Orana (Calgary, AB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Success in Store: How to Start or Buy a Retail Business, Enjoy Running It and Make Money (Paperback)
This book gives you a glimpse of retail business. Helpful but lacks of more detailed info on operation. I think this is just a compilation of articles from a certain book/mag.
