The Retail Owners Institute® - www.RetailOwner.com
Starting in 1999, Outcalt and Johnson began to develop self-help websites focused exclusively on serving current and prospective independent retailers. These specialized self-help websites provide practical, usable retail financial how-to information, on-demand, 24/7.
The Retail Owners Institute® is now the "foremost self-help resource" on retail finance, serving independent retailers worldwide, 24/7. With its emphasis on the basics of retail finance, inventory management and cash flow control, The ROI is particularly relevant to owners and decision-makers of retail operations with up to 100 stores (especially those who may be accounting-averse!) The ROI has been called "a WebMD for retail owners."
By Retailers, for Retailers. 24/7
The ROI's information and resources about the business of stores is simply unmatched. It serves a fast-growing audience of more than 18,000 unique visitors each month from around the world. These decision-makers are seeking practical information on how to better control their retail business.
