Team works on creating a realistic non-store development.
Course builds on previous business courses to cover the fundamentals of non-store merchandising techniques. The class focuses on distribution channels outside the retail “norm", exploring catalogs, Internet and other alternative retail techniques such as social media, kiosks, trunk shows, television and multi-level. Guest speakers introduce students to career oppotunities in fields such as home-based sales, television and internet. Students integrate these techniques into business plans.
