In this edition of the NRS Retail Insights Podcast, John Lofstock speaks with John Petersen, president of MarketMind, a sales and consulting group in the Cleveland area. John is the former owner and publisher of Convenience Store Decisions magazine and the National Advisory Group (NAG) trade association.
John has extensive experience in helping to connect suppliers with retail chains. He offered keen insights on how suppliers can help retailers be more effective by sharing data, customer trends and advising on emerging retail technology. As retailers grow sales and gain consumer confidence, everyone wins. John's two decades of experience have helped bridge the crucial gap between distribution and the point of sale.
John also explained how retailer data provides a window into consumer behavior by capturing scan data (items purchased at checkout) and sales data (total sales volume per store). This allows retailers to analyze product performance, identify top-selling stores and their locations, and gauge the effectiveness of marketing efforts and pricing strategies.
