Integrated Calendars

Hello again!

Well, the previous year has ended now for most retailers, physical inventories are over, spring deliveries are hitting and performance reviews are beginning. We didn’t want our last article in our series to be lost in all the year-end and beginning of year activities, so…

We are now pleased to share with you an advance copy of the fourth and final publication in our series entitled Some Brick-and-Mortar Specialty Stores are Thriving! How are They Doing It? 

This latest paper, which is attached, speaks to the focus that these successful retailers have on their laser-sharp and non-negotiable adherence to their Integrated Calendars to drive their results above and apart from the competition. 

At a time when so many specialty retailers are struggling with their brick-and-mortar channel, we are constantly surprised in our consulting engagements to see stark, yet common contrasts between those struggling and those who are successful. Our successful retailers recognize both the success of the company and the successful management of their employees is highly dependent on critical development and adherence to a robust and all-encompassing strategic calendar that integrates all divisional activities from financial planning through design through product development through creative and beyond. And, these calendars are always driven from their C-suites.

Are you wondering what these specialty stores are doing in the area of Integrated Calendars to maintain brick-and-mortar growth in this digital age? Read on. And, please feel free to reach out to us for a discussion. It is an area in which we have done much work with our clients.
