Research Can Lead to New Practice Benchmarks

ISI Network members constitute a highly significant sample of practitioners concerned with the planning, implementation and measurement of high-value activities in retail stores. Our collective voice can shift opinions and define best practices across our industry and around the world.

This month we resume the ISI Network "30-Sec Poll" series. Please take a few moments to respond to the brief survey questions when they arrive in your inbox beginning next week. Your voice matters! The results will form the basis of bulletins and presentations our organization shares with the industry.

Continuing this small-scale research will also lead us closer to a long-held goal of the ISI Network: An Industry Benchmark Study of In-Store Implementation Practices. This will require time and resources. Your vigorous response rates to the 30-Sec Polls will be persuasive to prospective sponsors.
