There is strength in numbers – and together, Connecticut retailers have a number of strengths. The industry and individual retail businesses face many challenges in a world that is changing rapidly.
From technological advances to shifting demographics, globalization to economic uncertainty, transformative competitive pressures to shifting consumer preferences, navigating change has never been tougher. Yet, Connecticut retailers are doing so, meeting and exceeding the expectations of their customers and contributing to Connecticut’s economy, every day.
The Connecticut Retail Network – the voice of the retail industry in Connecticut – is part of that ongoing effort, at the State Capitol working with policymakers, and in offering programs specifically designed to help retail businesses on the bottom line.
“Connecticut Retail Network is an inspired name choice, reflecting a thriving retail network of businesses all across the state – responding to our customers, connecting with our communities and driving Connecticut’s economy forward. We’re proud to be part of the evolution from CRMA to the Connecticut Retail Network.”
“The Connecticut Retail Network (CRN) is a trusted, influential and effective organization that works tirelessly on behalf of their membership. When Connecticut retail businesses need information or advocacy from state government, CRN can be counted on to take action, ask the critical questions, and get answers.”
“CRN does a great job representing retail businesses at the Capitol, providing testimony at committee hearings, and making connections that can impact the results of legislative proposals. They’ve earned the respect of legislators with solid, fact-based advocacy.”
“When it matters most at the State Capitol, the Connecticut Retail Network is on top of the issues, in touch with key legislators, and standing up for Connecticut’s retail businesses. CRN’s advocacy is effective, and essential.”
