Mar 05, 2008 – Toronto, CANADA - The Retail Institute has released their updated 2008 Edition of The Retail
Equation for Store Managers, a self study course for cotemporary retailers. This store manager's
retail course is a self study system that trains and prepares today's store manager for the
hyper-competitive retail market.
"The course enables small to medium retailers to offer training in critical skills sets at a
modest cost." says managing partner, Ron Pawlowski.
Retail companies until now have typically expended substantial funds and resources to create
their own training manuals from scratch. The Retail Institute's 'off the shelf' template package
eliminates the cost and time involved by doing eighty percent of the work.
"This package is perfect for the smaller retailer who wants a world class store managers training
manual without spending $10,000 or more like the big guys." stated Pawlowski.
The manual is designed in Microsoft Word with over 200 pages of contemporary retail strategies,
tactics and concepts that can be edited to reflect any specific organization's culture and
policies.
"The package includes training on how to really build your business through our concept of High
Performance retail teams that focus on individual contribution. There's training on creating your
competitive edge and marketing your store on a shoestring [budget] through Special Events. It's
all there... " he added.
The training manual is affordable for retailers of any size and simple to administer. Retailers
can edit and customize the manual in a few short hours and distribute it to support office
employees and stores as needed. Updates are easy to complete and distribute.
The Retail Equation for Store Managers Course Manual is not only affordable, it requires no
complex licensing, involving a low one time fee for any company.
The manual has a low initial cost and is inexpensive to maintain and update internally without
the need of consultants or third party contractors.
A course will train and equip the store manager of 2008 with the best concepts and practices
consistently throughout a progressive company. Now it's accessible and affordable for any
retailer regardless of their size.
