10 Top Merchants
Being a top merchant in today's retail world isn't what it used to be. In the face of increasing pressure to practice lowest-price item merchandising, the art of sourcing product, buying product, displaying product, assorting product and selling product is all too often reduced to one common denominator: Do it at the lowest cost possible, or don't do it at all. Given such an environment, it comes as little surprise, therefore, that the best merchants are the ones who can play by these new rules of engagement while still delivering a meaningful degree of differentiation between themselves and their closest competitors. DSN Retailing Today’s 10 Top Merchants all fit that bill. Although their backgrounds and tenure are as varied as their product categories, they share a common commitment to merchandising that's creative, consistent and, most importantly, positions their companies for success.
