The Philosophy, the Art, the Science of Buying
a seminar for a Kitchenware Specialty Stores
that puts Profits on the Bottom Line

The seminar will be led by industry veteran, Robert Coviello, President of the HTI Buying Group and a former retailer with 35 years of experience. Bob was co-founder and president of an independent kitchenware store where he spearheaded the growth and creation of the store into a $30 million category dominant kitchenware and tabletop retail chain. Bob regularly consults with retailers on strategic planning, systems, development, joint ventures, vendor relations, assortment strategies, product acquisition and negotiations, and sales associate training and inventory.

You’ll discover what sets some retail operations apart from the rest. It’s more than a good idea, hard work, or financing. Your retail success depends on: exceptional product selection, pricing, product mix, negotiations, and vendor relations. In short, to improve your profits, you need to improve your buying. During this seminar, you’ll learn how to improve and upgrade your buying skills to improve the performance of your store per square foot and improve your bottom line.
