DeLea Becker | Moderator & Retail Expert Panel Speaker
This is not DeLea’s first rodeo, she has sat on the Red News Forecast Retail panel before. This is her 3-peat performance and the 1st time was the day before the pandemic shut down the world and she recalls an uncommon prediction that was in line with the outcome. Read about it in her blog below. You won’t want to miss DeLea talk about retail numbers, strategies, adaptive reuse, e-commerce impact, and trend analysis predictions.
DeLea has skin in the game as a business owner and investor. DeLea’s success has been keeping true to her goal, “Build Business - Grow Wealth.” Don’t miss out on an opportunity to hear what she has to share. What makes DeLea’s analysis unique is her ability to think outside the box. Focusing on her community of tenants during the Pandemic to create solutions to keep everyone in the game.
She shares the stage with some heavy hitters as well - Hank Crane, John Huffington, Cameron Goodman, JD Torian, & Adam Zimel. We will cover Hot Topics - #Infaltion #InterestRates #GasPrices #LaborShortage #ConstructionPrices
Panel 3 | Retail Update: Opportunities and Trends - State of the Market
Panel will cover the following topics.
Commercial Real Estate investments are up and so is financing interest. What does this mean for the future?
Restaurants - PACKED - long waits, but also don’t have enough staff. Restaurants in tourist areas are packed. What is causing the labor shortage? How are businesses dealing with the material shortage?
Gas Prices and wages are going up, but the cost of everything else is as well.
Overstock by Retail Stores- “Swelling with inventory”- bloating inventories and squeeze from inflation. How does this reflect on those businesses? What people need to do is invest in more property. If builders are not building single-family homes and converting to multi-housing communities they are lessening the opportunity for small business owners to build wealth. By regulating rents to cover inflation the small business owner doesn’t learn or have access to “Grow Business. Build Wealth.”
While those of us who have faired the storm well Food, Fun, and Fitness have been brought back to the forefront of priorities. We see these businesses popping up needing space for their creative ideas. “Services” taking retail space because many folks during the pandemic saw their small businesses expand with the direct-to-consumer business model. Pet is another big growing category, 1 in 5 households added a dog or cat from march 2020 - march 2021
