Small retailers can triumph over ‘big box’ chains, author says

Whenever a big box store announces plans to open a store in a new community, one common reaction to the news is that it will prove to be the kiss of death for the area’s small retailers.

That doesn’t have to be true, Marc Joseph says. In fact, he believes small retailers can compete and win against the mega stores, and he outlines how they can do just that in his new book,The Secrets of Retailing, or How to Beat Wal-Mart.

Joseph, who lives in Scottsdale, isn’t just an author and retail expert. He also is president of DollarDays International, an Internet-based product wholesaler to small businesses and local distributors. His book is based on his own experiences in competing against, and being a supplier to, the big box store referenced in the title.
