Marketers in all industries should always keep an eye on the retail industry because retailing is the essence of a market - the storefront / cash register / online shopping cart literally represents the intersection of the “supply” curve and the “demand” curve. In addition, the interplay of customer issues and business issues in retail means that sound brand management, where communicatons are aligned with operations, is critical to success. As a result, each of the SAS demos at the show are important, so don't miss any of them!
