Stores don't suck

SICK OF HEARING STORES SAY THEY "DIDN'T GET THE MEMO"?

A unique book based on the authors’ real-world experience in retail operations, Stores Don't Suck explores such profound questions as:

Why didn’t the store get the memo?

Why doesn’t the display look like it should?

How do you get stores to do the things you need them to do?

(Spoiler alert: It doesn’t have to be so hard.)

Told in stories all retailers can relate to, Stores Don't Suck dives into the nitty gritty realities of store operations, of communication and “disconnects,” of the big promotion and a bigger purpose - creating a great customer experience. With actionable take-aways in every chapter, co-authors Melissa Wong and Jeremy Baker walk through simple best practices that will unite your field teams and bring your brand’s strategies to life with consistent precision.
