BRA gives you a voice (feel free to answer these three optional questions)

As a Regular or Distinguished Retail Member, you have a voice. Your answers to following questions will be incorporated into the Topics of Discussion at our upcoming Retailer Roundtable Events. These solutions oriented open forum discussions with manufacturers, brands, vendors, trade show organizations and other board specialty retailers happen multiple times per year in a variety of regions and have become effective in identifying solutions to some of the most challenging of retail issues. Thank you for contributing to the discussion.

1) What are the most important things a manufacturer or brand can do to improve your business? (Examples: provide special retail only offerings, delay brand DTC on certain products for two weeks after release to retail, occasional shop shout outs on Insta, actual marketing assistance from brands, etc.)

2) List topics (in order of importance) that you would like addressed (Examples: new technologies beneficial to retailers, private label, trade shows, Olympics, loyalty programs, pay later programs, etc.)

3) What expenses would you like to reduce (in order of importance) to lower the overall cost of running your business? (Examples: shipping, utilities, rent, insurance, office supplies, reusable bags, POS systems, health insurance, payroll, etc.)

Shortly after clicking the "Submit" button below, you will redirected to a secure payment portal where you will provide your tax deductible $100 Distinguished Retail Membership payment. We look forward to helping you to lower day to day costs, increase margins and create more remarkable customer experiences. - Board Retailers Association
