eCourse Introduction
Retailing is an intensely competitive sector. Today’s consumers are spoiled for choice, with retail stores of all sizes, in various convenient locations. Nobody forces consumers to use any one retailer – they make their own choice. So, consumers hold the power in the relationship. However, without a customer, a retail store goes out of business!
