Wittman says that a retail environment is an asset that must be carefully and continually monitored. "It's very demanding to maintain a retail store. There's something constantly going on in your store that is working against you," she says.
"When a customer comes in, they expect you to look the part. They want to you be a source of new information. They want you to understand the features and benefits of the products you're selling. They expect a certain level of expertise that your store helps convey," Wittman says.
There's not a minute to waste when it comes to capturing and keeping customers, so turn to Wittman to help solve your retail dilemmas. Submit a question in the comments section below or email lwoolf@lessitermedia.com.
