The start of a new year is the best time to start thinking about your store technology. Explore your store’s goals for the year and evaluate if your collegiate retail system can support those goals. Maybe your store is planning to host more pop-up locations for mobile sales? Do you have the technology to support that? Here are some actions to strengthen your store in 2025.
When college stores have the support they need, they can offer more to their campus community. The day-to-day system tools from eCommerce to back-office can have a huge impact on how much can be accomplished in a day. However, stores must have access to ongoing training, quality customer support and knowledgeable product experts to truly maximize their capabilities.
Implementing a new retail system is a big job with a lot of different pieces that need to come together. However, going from an obsolete system to a complete omnichannel retail solution offers benefits that are well worth the effort.
