A genuine transaction takes two parties: a merchant and a customer. The ability to respond to what's happening around us is one of the best parts of being a merchant. This month I bring you a four-part series on how to use your business size (and brand voice) to your advantage.

In this week’s trend report for independent retailers and makers I illustrate how business agility leads to sustainable and long–term success. I also teach how to implement this skill today to begin the process of unlocking more profit with ease.

Topics Discussed in this Trend Report:

  • Introduction to a 4-part series focused on using your business size to your advantage
  • Review of the Retail Calendar and shifts in U.S. Holidays in February
  • Business agility is having an awareness of your environments and responding in a timely manner without losing your momentum or straying for your business mission
  • The simplest cycle of agility is Launch, Test, Change
  • Similar to life, the purpose of a Lean Startup is the journey not the destination
  • Retail is an iterative, cyclical process
  • Learn the 3-Pillar process for being an agile business leader in Retail

If your business is sustainable and scalable, you will serve customers and make money.

Don’t get precious about your product or service. Otherwise you’ll miss the journey of being a Merchant.
