StORES Magazine - August 2007 - (Page S3) It’s an exciting and challenging time to be in retail. As the consumer population grows more and more diverse, unbounded and somewhat fickle, understanding the customer and providing them what they want, 59 82 when they want it, is a complex undertaking. Retailers can no longer deliver just a product; customers now expect an endto-end experience. “Share of Ivan Szeftel wallet” was the previous meas- ure of retail impact. Today we 37 97 talk about “share of life.” This year’s Hot 100 Retailers are leading the way. Regardless of size, history or channel, every name on this list has created its own winning formula for growth that centers around the customer. At Alliance Data we strive to help retailers do just that — raise the return on their customer relationships. Our co-brand and pri- 68 vate label credit card programs combined with customer analytics give retailers the power to target the right customer with the right message, at the right time. I commend the Hot 100 Retailers for their growth, and thank the staff of STORES magazine for highlighting these successes. It’s an exciting time for this industry, indeed. We’re proud to be a part of it. And we look forward to seeing how you will change the retail landscape in the years to come. Sincerely, Ivan Szeftel President, Retail Services Alliance Data 27 31 47 WWW.STORES.ORG 79 STORES AUGUST 2007 S3 http://WWW.STORES.ORG
