Smart Retail, a new Internet video series hosted by retail expert Scott Kreisberg, premiered June 19, 2009 to an eager audience who have been following the show updates via Twitter and Facebook from pre-production through post-production.
These five minute Webisodes begin the series, which is a production of One Step Retail Solutions (www.OneStepRetail.com), that will broadcast
weekly episodes on www.SmartRetail.tv and a YouTube channel. The first episode of Smart Retail was released on these two Internet channels starting
June 22, 2009.
The show features independent specialty retail stores and explores how those retailers run their businesses, their challenges and successes in competing against big box retailers, and how
they are making the transition to the new era of retailing.
The first twelve episodes will highlight among others a specialty sports /skateboard shop, a women'ss apparel store, a gift store, a salon and spa, a jewelry store, and an art gallery.
These retailers are all located in quaint communities in Southern California that include Montrose, Burbank, Northridge, La Canada, Studio City, and Sunland.
Executive Producer and host Scott Kreisberg began his professional career when he worked his way through college as a retailer. After graduating from College with a double Bachelors of
Science degree in Finance and Marketing, Scott established a company, One Step Data, in June of 1985. He consulted businesses selling them computer hardware and software that made it
easier for them to run their businesses more efficiently and soon started working with small to medium retailers. He has been working with retailers ever since, with One Step now spanning
both coasts of the US.
Cyndi Seidler produced, wrote and directed the Smart Retail series. She was brought into the project because of her multimedia video background and experience, and this is her first
Internet TV series. Seidler observes, With the way the Internet is going, video is the way to go, and I believe that the Smart Retail show rides on the wave of video entertainment on the
Web and gives insight to both retailers and shoppers alike.
