Q. What is the most important thing retailers in your industry should do right now to prepare to compete with Amazon? “Dealers need to continue to promote their business, allocate the correct advertising funds and should rely heavily on digital advertising. They need to be aggressive, have a willingness to change and a price match promise.” - Robert Balzano, executive director of merchandising, New England Appliance and Electronic Group, Franklin, Mass. “Improve service, delivery times and quick availability of products.” - Jay Behar, owner, Behar’s Furniture, Everett, Wash. “Relationships, superior in-store experience and convenience for local customers. Convenience includes refining the ease of use of our website. Search field must produce accurate results, product pages should have accurate and comprehensive data, check out needs to be quick and easy, and delivery dates need to be clear.” -Greg Law, owner, Sweet Dreams Mattress & Furniture, Charlotte/Lake Norman, N.C.
