Customer Reviews

Excellent! Love the templates/worksheets in the back!

This book is so easy and straightforward. This book is definitely a keeper! Also I love the templates in the back, especially the competition checklist.

Definitely a Buy

I originally obtained this book from the local library and immediately realized that I wanted to own it as a reference. Very good, detailed material about running a retail business. Highly recommended.

Key tactical instructions and roadmap to succeed in retail

I spent a LOT of time looking for a book that would "substitute" for 20 years of retail experience. This book is like having a mentor with that 20 years experience guiding you in all the important concepts and tactical decisions, and providing templates for planning, actions, and checking results. For a "how-to" book, it just does not get any better than this!

Well written! Well organized! Worth reading.

"The Start and Run a Profitable Retail Business book is a comprehensive guide and reference book for every new retailer and even ones who have been in business for some time. Complete with examples and illustrations backed by real-world experience and rigorous research, it is a powerful resource. Well written and well organized, it makes a great book for individuals, small and large businesses alike. I found it easy to understand and apply."
