Greetings!
If you can read this, you can access the newest Retail Alliance
benefit...our newly redesigned website (click here to visit).
The new website resides at the same old Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
at www.Retail-Alliance.com, but the similarities end there. The new site is designed to be user-friendly, relevant and impactful.
Here you can check for upcoming events AND make reservations.
You can exam all the Retail Alliance benefits from credit card processing to searching the contents of our resource library.
We now have a topical survey on the home page AND a blog. If that's not enough interaction, we have forums where you can discuss matters of interest to retailers.
Visit the media center to watch educational videos.
Check out the photo gallery (next week you can see all the pictures from Retailer of the Year!).
As a member, you can sign in using your email address, create a password and review your business data...you can even make changes!
Take a few minutes to visit and share your feedback!
