The challenge retailers have in today’s complex market is how do they keep up with ideas and communicate with each other over those ideas on the global platform. Until recently that opportunity did not exist, but in this fast moving world a solution has come to hand.
John Stanley Associate, have developed a Community Membersite where retailers and suppliers can communicate with each other and share ideas from around the world.
The website is also used as a forum for ideas and training sessions.
The site, which was launched in November, already has retail members on board from Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, South Africa, Holland and the UK and other members from around the world are in the process of joining.
John Stanley is a business coach of world renown and works with retailers of all sizes in all industries growing their businesses through coaching, mentoring and teaching them how to grow sales, increase market penetration and add value for their customers in tough times, all at low cost to the retailer. His services are highly sought after and clients say that “you cannot afford not to employ John Stanley” because he gets them excellent returns for the small investment in his services.
He has led two Tele training sessions to date. The first was on “Building Christmas Sales” and the second was “Creating Sales Promotions in January, the quiet month” . These forty minute interactive training sessions have been well received and provided members with ideas to grow their business. The training sessions go out live ,but are also recorded for members who cannot connect at the time of the session.
John and his team say the aim of the Community Website is to provide a platform for the leading retailers to share ideas from around the world in quick time: the industry is getting tougher and the leaders need to obtain new ideas and put them into place quickly, plus have the opportunity to share thoughts with other leading retailers from around the world.
The Community Membersite is open to any retailer who is looking to be a leader in their market place.
The community has been in existence for two months and is password protected to ensure that not everyone has access to the information. Entry is by subscription and for the first three months it is a dollar a month to allow retailers to see that the programme provides the value that the member needs, after the initial three months the subscription will be $45 a month.
This is a new venture for John Stanley Associates and the team are pleased with the reaction and response they have received to date, especially as members are joining from around the world. That means ideas are being shared early on from a global perspective.
You can join the John Stanley Associates Community Membersite by contacting info@johnstanley.cc to register and obtain your password.
