Introducing MINDY, Marketing Immersion’s NewRetail Development Team created for You. Let’s face it, retail has changed! And it will continue to do so. Driven by what I like to call ITCV. Innovation, Technology, Traffic and Convenience. Innovation is where creativity meets merchandising and processes. It includes forward thinking and out-of-the-box ideas that drive a never-ending cycle of improvement. Tech is where the winners and losers part ways. By evolving with and even driving technology we ride the wave of the future of our business.
raffic is what converts and drives sales. Without Traffic, we are nothing in retail. And of course, Convenience because it is what we all want…it represents ease in processes. Convenience also implies value. Convenience gives us back our most valuable commodity…time. Value, the relationship between price and quality, whether it be service or products. Retail is a day to day business that challenges our adaptability. Let us help you manage this part of your business. Our years of experience in retail strategy, product management, sales, retail technology, marketing and merchandising are just an email or phone call away.
