NAR’s strategic investment arm welcomes eight innovative start-ups with their eye on practitioners.
Eight innovative technology companies whose products and services have the potential to offer substantial benefits for NAR members have joined the 2014 REach program, a nine-month technology accelerator operation run by NAR’s strategic investment arm, Second Century Ventures. Last year’s inaugural class of REach companies all experienced revenue or customer growth ranging from 100 percent to 2,000 percent. Nearly 200 industry executives mentored program participants, providing one-on-one guidance on the direction of their products, services, and promotions. In addition, about 700 REALTORS® tested the products, offering input to help tailor solutions best suited for the real estate industry.

L’idea di creare un blog giornaliero per il mondo del retail nasce grazie ai continui feedback positivi che riceviamo dalle notizie condivise attraverso diversi canali.
Rivolto a tutte le tipologie di distribuzione presenti sul mercato: dal dettaglio ai grandi mall, dal commercio locale e nazionale alle catene di negozi internazionali, investitori, ai nostri fedeli clienti e chiunque altro è realmente interessato allo studio e all'approfondimento su ciò che guida il comportamento dei consumatori. E' anche un blog per tutti coloro i quali lavorano già nel mondo del Retail.
Verranno condivise le loro esperienze, le loro attitudini e le loro experties. Un blog di condivisione, quindi.
Ospitato sul sito della BRD Consulting, che da decenni lavora nel mondo distributivo Italiano ed Internazionale, il blog Store in & out riguarderà il business, i marchi e i comportamenti d'acquisto propri di alcune delle più grandi aziende.
Ci saranno anche notizie in lingua originale per dare evidenza dell’attenzione della nostra Azienda nei confronti del global.
