 Rating:  - Great book on Retail, but written more for large retail businesses.I am starting a small retail business and found this books description to be along the same lines of what i wanted to know. But, I was disappointed when i recieve this book. The book covers everything one would want to know about running a retail business. But, it was really written for large retail companies, not small businesses. The book has chapters on merchandizing, buying, hiring sales people, managing sales force, etc. You will learn a great deal of information about ...

They covered everything from strategies for purchasing, competing with big chains, advantages of technology and training for employees. This is a great book for those concepts.

The writing is light while providing good information and real world examples. The resource CD contains spreadsheets and documents such as job descriptions, payroll budget, supplier checklist, balance of business which provide a great starting point for the owner.

Written in 1998, it contains such chestnuts as, "We believe that every one of the personal computers in your store should have a CD-ROM drive." and "Providing information ... Read More Rating: - THIS BOOK IS THE BEST RESOURCELook no further for information on how to launch your retail business! This book has everything you need and more! Ted Topping is such an amazing resource on all things retail - he guides you in a practical, professional, thoughtful and caring way through every step of starting your retail business.
