CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paula Rosenblum, managing partner with Retail Systems Research (RSR), will present a BIG !DEAS session, hosted by Galleria, at the NRF Big Show to discuss customer-centric strategies that separate retail winners from laggards.

The session will take place on Monday, Jan. 12, at 11:30 a.m. EST in Expo Hall 3D05. Attendees will learn how top retailers satisfy local customers by moving away from the cookie-cutter approach to space planning and why demographic, geographic and psychographic localization are not enough to meet consumer demand.
