Who We Are

We are marketers with a passion for retail.  We’ve both known what it has been like to have leverage, and what it is like without it.  We are using this blog to continue to sharpen our skills in the pursuit of retail leverage.

It is important to note that we are also fans of retail in general and the retailers that provide the outlet to experience and deliver products to consumers.  Retailers struggle with some of the same issues of retail leverage.  Retail Leverage is a two way street and Retailers are constantly looking for strategies to achieve leverage against their biggest vendors too.
