New partnership announcement! Deziem + M1 🤝
Where market trends meet merchandise intelligence.

M1 clients already know how much to buy because the M1 plan does that work every week. The harder angle is knowing what the market's about to do: which trends are landing, which brands are heating up, what's moving on the showroom floor right now.

That's what our new partnership with Deziem is built to answer. Real-time market reads from fashion weeks across the United States and Europe, paired with the inventory planning you already trust.

M1 clients get direct access to the Deziem Digest along with market insights from founder Kate Rowan! The inventory numbers and the market read, finally working as one! 🛍️

Imagine opening your inbox to find out you're being sued. Turns out your website isn't "accessible" and you had no idea there was a problem!

It's happening to independent retailers all over the country. These ADA accessibility lawsuits are surging, they target stores that never knew there was a problem, and one settlement often invites another.

Join our live Q&A session on June 11 at 10am PT with Greg McNeil, CEO of 216 Digital. He'll walk through why retail sites get targeted, what these claims can cost, and how to protect your store.

40% of independent retailers damaged by a natural disaster never reopen.

Some can't afford to. Some choose not to. And many who do reopen find out (too late) that having insurance and being made whole are very different things.

On May 28th, Patrick Keiser, Executive Director of Heart on Main Street joins us for an honest conversation about what retailers can actually do before, during, and after disaster strikes. We'll also cover the realities of risk, recovery, and what insurance won't cover.
Every retailer believes it will never happen to them... until it does.
You can't control the storm. You CAN control what happens next.

Quick question: are you running your store or is it running you? Most independent retailers are working incredibly hard. Fewer are leading with intention.

There's a difference... and it shows up in how consistently your store performs, how your team shows up every shift, and how much of the business depends on you, the owner, being physically present for things to go right.

We're bringing retail leadership expert and bestselling author Rachel Williamson from Running Great Stores into our next M1 Live session this week to share her 30-day framework for making the shift from reactive operator to intentional store leader.

Whether you're managing your first location or running a multi-store operation, this session will give you something you can use immediately.

FREE RETAIL WEBINAR: Most independent retailers accept whatever rent their landlord quotes them... The smart ones don't!

Rent is the second largest expense on your P&L. Yet very few retailers ever challenge it. Not because they can't, but because they don't know how.

We're hosting a free webinar on lease negotiation strategies featuring Butch Blum and Ben Cohen, two experts who have been in your shoes. They'll walk you through when and how to approach your landlord and how to use data to make your case... even if you feel like you have no leverage.

Quick question: when's the last time you actually negotiated your rent?
If the answer is "never" or "I wouldn't even know where to start", then this session is for you.
