Leading retailers have made major cuts in personnel and other vital resources and squeezed vendors to create solid profits through the current recession. Cash  is stockpilling in accounts as dividends have been trimmed to substitute financing resources and capital improvements have been put on hold. These more successfull retailers must now feel unsatisfied with money market returns and will look to either raise dividends, aquire companies, or invest in stores and capture additional market share. All three will no doubt happen with capital improvements leading the way after being stymied most of the recession. The Christmas season will determine the level of projects and their reach through out the chain. This event is mirrored in the vendor community as more successful manufactures look to take marketshare through inovative promotions and merchandising champaigns.  Many capital improvements have built up over the last 2 years and now there is a sufficient amount of  cash to implement.  Remoldeling and retail merchandising will take a more prominent role in the coming year. www.thebeamteam.com will be ready to answer this call.
