Show Highlights: 

In this episode, guest Steve Dennis chats with Kristin about Steve’s latest book, Remarkable Retail, and the overarching state of retail today. Steve has a wealth of experience in the space, and we are delighted to have had him on the show. A major facet of the new book is the ‘8 Essentials of Remarkable Retail’ framework, crafting what’s necessary to adapt to an ever-changing landscape. 

 

In the show, you will learn about how major retailers performed crisis innovation quickly. The retail space had to pivot dramatically during COVID, and many chose not to innovate or did so too late. Companies that pivoted early, like Tractor Supply, Best Buy, and Target, are strategically overcoming similar problems that have closed many big box retailers in the last few years. One learning lesson is that consistent innovation is the key to being in front of market trends, often equaling success. Kristin and Steve also dive into what success looks like for a retailer in today's market, inventory glut and what the future holds for companies in this space.
