If a business person is wondering what retail management involves, then the first thing he or she should know is that retail management is not just about revenue. Knowledge of merchandising, expenses and human resources are three things a retail manager must know besides how to generate revenue to succeed. One should have a business background, but it's not necessary.
Customers
A retail manager ensures customers are properly and efficiently served, especially in regards Employees
to complaints and issues.
Morale and overall happiness of employees need to be kept at a high level. Also, keeping them busy to abstain from boredom helps with morale. Effective retail management knows how to delegate and oversee time distribution.
Merchandising
Retail management oversees merchandising by ensuring stores are clean and visually appealing, while utilizing space to maximize sales.
Payroll and Reviews
A retail manager ensures employees are paid promptly and correctly. Timely reviews and appropriate raises for employees keep them at a store to reduce turnover.
Expenses
Bills need to be paid and controllable expenses monitored so the retail manager doesn't lose money.
