Learn Tips on Using AI in Store Operations

The free webinar will introduce practical AI tools to help independent retailers manage inventory, operations, marketing and more.

Part of the Dallas Market Center’s recently launched Retail Ready series, the one-hour online session Practical AI Training for Independent Retailers will be held on Wednesday, December 2, at 12p.m. CT.

Designed to interest both retailers who are just getting started as well as those already using AI, the webinar will offer real examples and simple tools built for the everyday work of running a retail business. The session begins with the foundation for getting started with AI then segues into retail tasks including operations, merchandising, inventory, finance, vendor communications, marketing and market preparation among other uses. There will be time to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

“AI is your best assistant to help run your store, and we will show you how,” said Cole Daugherty, senior vice president of marketing communications at DMC. “We built the Retail Ready webinar to show practical ways to save time on the work that fills a retailer’s week, with examples anyone can try right away for the holiday season.”

DMC launched Retail Ready in September with weekly practical AI tips available via social media and the DMC website. Following the December webinar, retailers are invited to attend January Markets in Dallas, where an AI Help Desk will be available in the World Trade Center Atrium to answer questions.
