Bob Negen – Whizbang! Retail Training
Bob Negen founded the Mackinaw Kite Co., a small chain of specialty toy and kite stores, in 1981 when he was only 23 years old. He had just graduated from college, didn’t want to get a “real job” and loved flying kites.
It didn’t take long for him to realize that his passion for his product was not enough to make him profitable, and he then spent the next twenty years learning how to be a successful merchant. He made more mistakes than you can shake a stick at but managed to survive and earn the status of “battle tested retail veteran.”
In 1999 he and his wife Susan founded WhizBang! Training, and they continue to help independent retailers thrive in today’s super-competitive market.
Bob says “no matter what you sell the secret to success is to give your customers the kind of experience that makes your business memorable and parlaying that first experience into a highly profitable long-term relationship.”

Theft makes up 78% of $100B in annual retail shrinkage - What you need to know to prevent it in your store!
The global retail industry suffers from $100B in shrink — financial loss due to missing revenue, wasted inventory, stolen goods, or improper accounting — every year. It historically has been a major pain point for retailers. To combat this issue, retailers have begun to implement various loss prevention strategies, including video surveillance and additional policies to control the shrink. While most retailers have seen success from these measures, in particular, large retailers are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to support their efforts. By embracing these advanced technologies, retailers can predict fraudulent behaviour in the forms of shoplifting, internal theft, administrative errors, and more. Therefore, providing a more proactive approach to reduce retail shrink and loss. Topher Cramm with Stanley Security discusses why shrinkage is increasing and how AI can help mitigate the problem.

Out Of Office = Energy, Objectivity, and a Reignited Passion
Why should you take a vacation? This may seem like a “DUH” question, but the truth is, too many entrepreneurs, especially retail entrepreneurs don’t take enough time away from their business to reenergize, regain objectivity and reignite their passion. We are consumed with what we want and need OR what we are missing and not achieving; we keep our heads down and try to push forward - that push forward is often against what seems like a brick wall or as we learn from EOS, a glass ceiling… Vacation (or any time off for that matter) is not about gaining clarity as we know in our retail world, clarity comes from action not disconnection. This is all about rejuvenation of your mindset. And, rewarding yourself for putting it all on the line every day!
As a life-long serial entrepreneur, I have used every excuse imaginable not to take time away from my business. Every “vacation” I have ever taken includes work time, email, and text responses and too often trying to run my busines…

Mining the Diamonds in your Database = CASH!
There is an old myth that says we only use 10% of our brain and while this myth has been debunked by many neurologists, there may still be some truth there… As a 30-year-old POS company we know that retailers do in fact fail when it comes to using the full power of their POS system, the brain behind their business.
In this week’s podcast Dan shares 3 strategies to better utilizing that brain to mine the diamonds buried in your point of sale system and turn them into cold hard CASH!
#1 – Markdown merchandise is purchased by only a select percentage of your audience; 30% of your customers ONLY buy merchandise that is on sale! Conversely, 30% of your client base never buys clearance merchandise. Here’s how to uncover your Sale Seagulls… Run a sales report by customer and gross margin. The clients that land below your median margin ARE your target markdown/clearance customers. Think about how important this segment of your audience truly is to your business – they buy your ju…

Customer Loyalty should be earned not BOUGHT!!
Customer Loyalty should be earned not _BOUGHT!!_
When you 'google' the word loyal, the definition is 'giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person, institution or brand'. ... Loyalty is genuinely having their best interests at heart and ensuring that relationship is reciprocal. So, before we add expense to our business building or adding a loyalty program that will more than likely try to _BUY_ loyalty rather than earn it. Let’s ask ourselves “how do we inspire a strong feeling of support or allegiance from both our external and internal customers” Buying customer loyalty is fine as long as you’re willing to lose them to a higher bidder… Hence why loyalty should _not be_ bought but rather _earned_.
Let’s think about how we inspire loyalty with our team or employees. They become loyal through inclusion, recognition, respect, they make a difference and of course trust. Why do we treat or think about customers differently?

Marc Beerling of The Plans, focused on retail blueprints for today’s retailer
A great retail conversation with Marc Beerling this week. Marc is a retailer with 15 years experience in retail.
In 2005, he started his own store after 3 years managing someone else's, in a small Canadian city. Offering Mens and Ladies Contemporary as well as Lifestyle, Denim and Footwear, over the years he grew the operation to a footprint of 18,000 sq feet and peak sales just south of 3 million annually.
But something was always missing....mainly, cash in the bank. After years of struggle, never having enough cash, struggling to take a paycheque and sometimes struggling to make payroll, moving locations several times, enduring a fire, fighting lease disputes that ended up in court, coming through not one but two major economic recessions, (very oil and gas based community), he at long last discovered the golden key of merchandise planning.
All of a sudden, the missing pieces began to fall into place, the reasons for cash flow struggles became apparent and the writing was illumina…

How digitally ‘found’ is your store. Our first story discussed this week included making sure that your retail store is Hyperpublished among other activities you need to focus on.
We enjoyed a story about a young entrepreneur and how she has started and discussed how there are so many ways to start in retail now.
Great discussion here as Dan reviewed the 7 trends in retail transformation and innovation in 2021.
Amazing transparency in this story about a bootstrapped organization on their journey to becoming a $100 million operation, where the founder is still very much the face and driving force of the company.
And retail questions! In response to a retailer question about being challenged for time in the day, Dan discussed the ideas and strategies for individuals and retailers to overcome the challenges of the mountain of ‘to-do’ lists they need to conquer each and every day in their business.

Steps to retail recovery with Bob Negen of WhizBang! Retail Training
We were very thankful to have Bob on the podcast to discuss ways that retailers can start thinking about recovery and the steps to get through this challenging time.
Bob Negen founded the Mackinaw Kite Co., a small chain of specialty toy and kite stores, in 1981 when he was only 23 years old. He had just graduated from college, didn’t want to get a “real job” and loved flying kites.
It didn’t take long for him to realize that his passion for his product was not enough to make him profitable and he then spent the next twenty years learning how to be a successful merchant. He made more mistakes than you can shake a stick at, but manage to survive and earn the status of “battle tested retail veteran”.
In 1999 he and his wife Susan founded WhizBang! Training to help independent retailers thrive in today’s super-competitive market.
Bob says “no matter what you sell the secret to success is to give your customers the kind of experience that makes your business memorable…

A timely and thought provoking discussion with Ashley Alderson of The Boutique Hub.
Having so much respect and admiration for Ashley, it was a real pleasure to have her join us on the Wealthy Retailer podcast. This was a very timely and thought provoking discussion at a time when our retail community needs new inspiration and guidance.
The Boutique Hub Founder Ashley Alderson first started The Hub based on her desire to shop boutiques around the world, regardless of her rural location.
Hailing from North Dakota where her nearest shopping opportunity was over 300 miles away, she longed for a place online she could go to find and shop the boutiques she loved together in one place.
What happened next was pretty exciting.
Once launched, Ashley’s formal background in small business development and marketing began to foster a deeper community at the Hub. Ashley noticed that these owners she featured needed a greater voice in fashion, specialized coaching and training, and a central point to connect, collaborate, share tips and find tools to grow their businesses.

Encouragement, luck and a leap into retail with Laura Oladokun of Sweet Boutique
We had a great conversation with Laura Oladokun, owner of Sweet Boutique and learned about her journey into the world of retail.
As a mother of 5 and after 15 years of raising her kids while caring for other children at home, she was encouraged by a friend, some luck and a leap of faith which brought her into the retail world. She felt St. Albert was lacking a boutique for every woman, and Sweet Boutique was created.
Sweet Boutique was established in 2014 as a shop for women to find on-trend, casual clothing as well as accessories and jewellery to complete the look. It has expanded to include all-natural apothecary and children's wear. We strive to find quality pieces that fit every budget and every body, carrying regular and plus sizes. All of our clothing is comfortable, flattering and made of the softest fabrics available. Jewellery is sourced from local designers and the apothecary section is the best we could find in natural hair, body and skin care.

Looking up and ahead with Janel Dickin of Hye Fashion
Janel is nothing if not authentic! She loves helping people feel great and her passion for doing so has been the driving force behind her love of retail operations, which was sparked when her retail journey officially began in the 1990’s.
Although Janel’s formal education is not in retail, she was always drawn back to it. She dabbled in making people feel great through fashion, giftware and home goods retail, while attending university as well as while working at her full-time career. Janel spent over a decade in academia, where she honed her skills in data analysis. Although she had an incredible career, something was still missing. Her fire for helping people and making a difference needed to be lit.
After returning home from an epic three month sabbatical to South America, Janel’s fire was stronger than ever! She worked tirelessly for over a year on her business plan (and manual labour), and in 2010 Janel opened Hye Fashion, Edmonton’s premiere destination offering style f…

Born and raised in Edmonton, Brad now resides in Sherwood Park. He always was an entrepreneur. Even as a kid, he had a lot of self-employed relatives as mentors that sparked that entrepreneurial fire.
With only his first year of business administration at NAIT and the fact that he never worked a day in retail, he opened his first store in Sherwood Park. It was actually his ex-wife’s idea!
He truly believes that everyone has a calling and the best part of his business is that when he wakes up in the morning, he couldn’t imagine himself doing anything else.
He enjoys golf, the pursuit of a private pilot’s licence and hanging out with his two beautiful daughters Emma and Abby.
