Daily Retail News

Retail Success was first published. Like every first-time author, I was concerned whether or not the book itself would be a success. The initial order was for 1,500 copies. When all those boxes of books arrived at my office, I was absolutely sure we would be the last owners of a good many of them.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the acceptance of the book and certainly by its success. Now in its eighth printing, Retail Success continues to sell at a steady pace. I am pleased to report that the most successful retailers covered in the book continue to grow and prosper.

Over the last five years, I've had the opportunity to work with and study a number of other highly successful retail companies and learn what it is they've done to succeed. This learning process has bolstered my beliefs in what it takes to achieve retail success. But with the ongoing change in the retail marketplace and consumers, I continue to gain new perspectives on everything I know about the business of retailing.
