The Christmas holiday season has come to a close<\/p>\n

And next comes the question we just have to pose:<\/p>\n

For you, dear retailer, was it a success \u2014<\/p>\n

Or was it plain and simply a mess?\"Retailers<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Was your POS system mobile and free \u2014<\/p>\n

Or were customers driven right up a tree?<\/p>\n

Were inventories in sync online and in-store \u2014<\/p>\n

Or were items missing, to be found never more?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indeed, RFID holds such great promise,<\/p>\n

But never found its way onto your to-do list.<\/p>\n

Clienteling and customization are all the rage<\/p>\n

And you can become a lean, mean, retail machine!<\/p>\n
