A year on from my last showreel with Paul Greenberg - I caught up with Wayne Baskin (Deputy CEO, CTO at Booktopia and NORA Network Advisory council member), who did a great job facilitating this chat on a topic that is not always that easy to navigate.
We unpack what Merchandise Planning is all about, clear up some confusion around the term “merchandising”, and reflect on what sets us apart as a business.
Always a pleasure catching up with Paul Greenberg on the forward thinking initiatives that NORA Network is putting out into the Retailscape .
Ventured OUT of my comfort zone to do this video covering a topic that sits squarely IN my comfort zone #merchandiseplanning. SMART IN PLANNING provides solutions in “everything Merchandise Planning” – giving Retailers access to expertise and capacity through a flexible and tailored service.
