Choose the right perspective
Match the person's retail format to your question, since a discount chain, a department store, a specialty chain and an outlet operator market to shoppers in different ways. Ask whether their work centered on stores, digital channels or loyalty, and what they owned directly.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you split a retail marketing budget between stores, digital channels and loyalty, and how do you measure what each returns?
- 02How do marketing and merchandising teams agree on which products and promotions to feature each season?
- 03Walk me through a campaign meant to drive store traffic. What did the results show, and what would you change?
