When we were brainstorming ideas for a yearlong
series of articles in 2007, the Garden Center Magazine staff had a lot of
ideas. We finally boiled them down to seven solid concepts, but we needed help
selecting one after that.So I got on the
phone with several retailers to run the list by them. I asked for their favorite
two or three out of the list. A funny thing happened. Every single one of them
wanted a series on store design.
Later I called back those original retailers, and
a few more besides, to find out what type of design issues they were grappling
with. Their responses became the 12 topics for 2007.
Several top American retail
designers and merchandisers have agreed to participate in the series. Think
Pottery Barn. Think Barnes & Noble. Think Target.
I think the series will be the best we’ve had yet.
Let's get started! To view the topics in this series, select from the list on the navigation bar.
