Podcast Description
Dear Viewers In each edition, we broadcast interviews with senior retailers about what they're doing and showcase their latest retail formats. It's all here for you to see. But there's no point making beautiful made HD programmes if you can't watch them on the move. So, not only have we created this super website, Retail Vision is also on You Tube and iTunes so you can run our videos on everything from a smartphone to an iPad! If you're a supplier, this is also your opportunity to show the world what you can offer. Innovation is what everybody is interested in, so with so many international retailers tuned in, we need to see what you're up to too. Retail Vision supporters now include KSS Fuels, MSI, Bever, PDI, CBX, Torex, Imperial Tobacco, EPTA, RedPrairie, BARO and Camelot Global. If you fancy getting involved, please drop me a line. So, sit back and relax, grab a coffee and enjoy this month's Retail Vision. Oh, and I almost forgot. Forward this to your colleagues so that they too can subscribe to future editions. Best wishes, Dan Munford.
