The National Association of Blind Merchants, National Federation of the Blind Entrepreneur Initiative and Hadley Forsythe Center for Employment and Entrepreneurship presents the second in our series of Randolph-Sheppard on the Web. This series is designed to bring blind entrepreneurs and state agency personnel the most targeted, up to date information in our industry.
Seminar Title: Why Micro Markets? Why now?
Seminar Date: April 22, 2014
Seminar Time: 2:00 PM Central Time
Locations with Micro Markets have increased revenue 25-30 percent.  It is estimated that in five years, the United States will have 35,000 micro markets accounting for over one billion dollars in revenue.
This webinar explains the cost-benefit analysis of vending versus micro markets, their regulatory implications, most profitable locations for BEP and their accessibility to blind operators and consumers at large.
Join Biztalk as Nicky Gacos, president of the National Association of Blind Merchants, leads a panel discussion on micro markets, the most popular topic of last week's NAMA One convention in Chicago. Nicky will be joined by panelists:  Jerry McVety, NAMA consultant and president, McVety and Associates;  Rich Lav, Avanti Markets and VendScreen; Jim McManus, Business Enterprises of Main; and Jason Sauer, Business Enterprises of Arizona.
