Retailers, share your thoughts and ideas at market roundtable discussion, or as a panelist

Home Accents Today is looking for some new voices to join us at the Atlanta market for a closed-door Retailer Roundtable discussion about business -- operations, vendors,employees, customers and anything else that may be on your mind.
These ongoing discussions, held at the major markets, are moderated by ART (Accessories Resource Team) Executive Director Sharon Davis, and covered in Home Accents Today as the Retailers Unplugged features.
Comments made by participants are unattributed, and the names of participating retailers are kept anonymous, to encourage open dialogue.
The Atlanta roundtable will be held Sunday morning, July 18, at 9:00 a.m. Any retailer who will be in Atlanta that morning and is interested in attending can drop me an email for more information: sdickenson@homeaccentstoday.com.
Retail Panelists - Editor in Chief Jenny Heinzen York is also looking for retailers to participate as panelists for her market presentations in Las Vegas (topic: store operations) and New York (topic: social media). Unlike the roundtable discussions described above, these are conducted in front of an audience. If interested, please contact jheinzen@homeaccentstoday.com.

We are in the online slinleg business, NO RETAIL STORE means no high cost of doing business, not having to deal with sales tax, if a company can offer quality products at great prices, and is able to ship the goods without passing any "hidden shipping charges" to the customer then you have the ingredients to success, A smart consumer would consider shopping on the internet, but many are hesitant, due to various fraud scheme you hear about on newscast, These are getting rare as the encryption systems are very safe and guaranteed!CLOSEOUTS are a NEW SHOPPING area that consumers are getting savvy to, ULTRA deals with limited quantities, so you have to be fast! Our store deals with closeouts and we are learning that the consumer wants deals, service and quality! Was this answer helpful?
