8 Retail Resolutions for 2021

Retail is exciting, fast-moving, and filled with opportunity, yet information overload is a constant challenge. Join retail strategist, speaker, and trainer Carol Spieckerman every other Thursday as she navigates past the noise to get to the heart of what really matters in retail. In every episode, Carol harnesses her latest retail trajectories and interviews with industry experts to distill tools, tactics, and takeaways for wherever you play in retail. If you’re ready to cut to the chase, or just want to be inspired about where retail is going next, this show is for you.

 

If the normal rules of retail applied, this would be the time to look back on 2020 and decide what to keep, toss, or tweak. But of course, 2020 was no normal year. Despite the chaos, it wasn’t all gloom and doom and those that made it through emerged stronger than ever. As we hurl past one of the most disruptive years in retail history, and before we get too far into the promise of a new chapter, Carol reveals her 8 retail resolutions for retailers, brand marketers, and solution providers, with takeaways for navigating 2021 like a boss.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How “delusions of brandeur” can block your success
  • Why keeping your frenemies close makes sense now
  • Why champions of choice hold the winning hand
  • How to spread your wings without playing “scattergories”
