Kathy Juckett, CEO of Telescope Casual Furniture, a leading manufacturer of outdoor furniture, will speak at the High Point Market Seminar Series on Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 11:30 am. Ms. Juckett’s presentation, “What Shoppers Want: How Retail Can Thrive in the New Shopping World” will give an in depth look at the results of the Telescope National Shopper Survey, examples of how the retail world has evolved, and action steps for retailers to thrive.
Since May 2009, Telescope Casual Furniture has been conducting its National Shopper Survey to understand shopper' attitudes and behaviors during these changing economic times. The ongoing survey tracks shoppers’ mindset, where they are spending (and not), what’s important to them in home furnishings and home décor, and preferences on furnishings’ style, national origin, renewability, online shopping and social media.
Ms. Juckett will reveal the latest results from the survey, plus innovative examples of how the retail world has evolved, and best practices for retailers to thrive.
“I’m thrilled to be sharing the findings from our research at High Point,” said Juckett, on announcing her appointment by the National Home Furnishings Association. “The insights are so timely, relevant and actionable for our retailers, and I’m confident it will leave High Point attendees with a clear picture of the new retail world, and a visionary view into the future.”
The Telescope National Shopper Survey is a national survey of 1500 adults conducted quarterly by WSL Strategic Retail, the leading retail strategists and futurists.
