Retail Hero recently released a free interactive game for retailers designed to give them a better understanding of the foundations of retail management from the ground up.
Starting out with a simple hot dog stand, the game teaches the principles of how adding technology can help to succeed in the retail business. The game has five levels starting the player out as a hot dog vendor and gradually working up to a pawn shop retailer, then a grocery store, and onwards until you own a national franchise.
But just as in real life there are obstacles to overcome. You might be selected for a random tax audit or you could be sued for selling a counterfeit item, all of which affect your bottom line. Also, you can borrow money and invest it in the technology that will help your retail business to succeed.
