VGM Retail Science Roadshow Coming to Medtrade 2016

ATLANTA (June 29, 2016)—The 2016 VGM Retail Science Roadshow rolls on with stops in Louisville, Kentucky (July 19) and Dallas (September 13)—with the final eight-hour show set for Medtrade in Atlanta.

The roadshow is a one-day, hands-on, interactive educational event sponsored by VGM Retail. Led by Jim Greatorex and Maria Markusen, two of the industry’s most seasoned experts in health care retail/caretail, Roadshow sessions provide practical tips, techniques and strategies for the retail business. Attendees will also learn directly from vendors about the latest and greatest retail products that can significantly boost the caretail business.

“The great thing about this road show is that we are doing this with our vendors,” says Markusen. “We get in-depth. We don’t just talk about the high-level surface stuff. We talk about the numbers, so when people go home they can use the information to improve their business and make changes.”

“Education and what we call “core competencies” of running a retail store will be mixed in with manufacturer education about how to measure metrics and do sales training,” says Greatorex. “We will show attendees product opportunities that we believe are great cash opportunities—with new and exciting vendors. We provide education about how to merchandise and market new products, all of which are designed to help providers grow and bring in new customers.”
