I'm not from a retail background, but I am a shopper.
I would not say I'm an aggressive shopper. I want to be; I aspire to be an aggressive shopper. I am a meek, meek shopper.
I'm a shopper but not a big money/label-y shopper. It makes me a nervous wreck.
I am a compulsive and concise shopper.
I am a sale shopper. I love a discounted item.
In today's retail environment, competition comes from every conceivable retail format. To succeed, we have to operate more efficiently and compete more effectively against players at all levels of the retail demographic. There is no question that this is a bold and exciting move, and one I believe will have a positive impact on competitive retailing for American consumers in the longer term.
I don't think goal setting is an important basis for a retail business - or for anyone. Most of the time goal setting puts too much energy and attention on being someplace else, instead of helping you appreciate where you are.If I ran a retail store, which I have done in my life, I would go into it from a place of "I am thrilled to be here, and I am honored to be able to serve other people." I would not be telling myself constantly that I have to double my sales in order for me to be happy. I would tell myself, "I am content to be here in this moment, and I love this work."
No one in my family had a retail or marketing background. They were professionals. They didn't understand just what I was doing by going into retailing. After I started, though, it got into my blood. I knew this was what I wanted.
Humanity is in my heart. Do I suffer fools? No. Am I a stickler for my profession? Yes. I am a task master? Yes. My military background, football background, I'm a team player all the way, and I love winning.
The future of retail is the integration of Internet and digital services with the retail network.
I am the world's laziest shopper, but very rarely have I had to take anything back.
We pick on retail, I think, because each individual has experience with retail. It is easy to talk about.
I always loved retail. I love the ideas behind it. I think small-business retail is one of the areas where capitalism works so wonderfully well.
I'm not an impulse shopper. I will wait three days after I see something. Am I still thinking about it? Then I'll get it.
If I ran a retail store, which I have done in my life, I would go into it from a place of "I am thrilled to be here, and I am honored to be able to serve other people."
I'm so obsessed with Apple, and the chance to work with the people who really created Apple retail is the retail opportunity of a lifetime.
I don't believe in flagship retail, because the definition of flagship retail is that it's a marketing expense, and it's going to lose money.
