The Board Retailers Association (BRA) has added Dan Jablons, president of Retail Smart Guys, as a senior advisory member to its Board of Directors.
The non-profit, supporting independently owned surf, skate, snow, and wake retailers, said Jablons has helped independent retailers throughout his long career in the industry.
“Independent retailers are the backbone of every economy in every city and state in the union,” said Jablons. “I love working the stores like the members of The Board Retailers Association, and I hope to bring additional help to see these members thrive in this and any economy.”
Retail Smart Guys, Inc., founded in 2006, is a California-based consulting company that provides sales forecasting, inventory planning, marketing consulting, and other services to independent retailers in 18 countries.
“I hope to bring my years of experience in working with retailers to the Board and its members, and that together we can ensure the future of the surf, skate, snow, and wake retail industry,” continued Jablons. “I love this segment of the retail market, and I couldn’t be happier to be joining the Board Retailers Association in their efforts to help their members.”
BRA Chairman George Leichtweis said, “I have attended many of Dan’s seminars and have worked with him on “Open to Buy and Inventory Control for my store. We have also used Retail Smart Guys as an economical source to add inventory to our website.”
