RETAIL AND E-COMMERCE CONSULTANT
Specializing in boutique brick-and-mortar + e-commerce (click-and-mortar) retail merchandising, retail strategy, and website optimization services.
Hello, I’m Amanda Dinan!
I’ve spent the last 15 years working in retail buying and e-commerce merchandising positions for companies like Ross Stores, Amazon, and Samsung Electronics. I started Point-Of-Sale Strategies because I wanted to take my knowledge from both the retail and tech industries to help small retail businesses grow. You can learn more about my experience here.
I offer a unique approach by analyzing your retail data- both in-store and online and developing not only SEO strategies to drive traffic but also merchandising strategies to increase conversion.
A few examples of what I do for my clients :
-
Determine the best merchandise assortment to drive product profitability and online traffic
-
Create promotional marketing strategies to increase conversion, cart size, and add-on items
-
Optimize your website for better search results, local SEO, and for an overall better customer experience
-
Present a cohesive message for your physical and online stores
I love small business owners. Seriously you guys are AMAZING. You do it all and as a small business owner myself, I know you put your whole heart into your business. It would be an honor to work with you and help facilitate profitable, manageable growth for your business.
I’m located in beautiful Asheville, NC, and can meet in person in Asheville or any of the surrounding areas. I work virtually with clients located all over the US and Canada.
Oh, and here’s my pup Mona. She doesn’t help much with strategy, but she’s more than happy to attend a meeting if you are in the Asheville area.

WHAT DOES RETAIL MEAN?
In its most basic form, retail is the sale of goods to consumers for final consumption. But in its entirety retail is a huge industry encompassing many different manufacturers, brands, and retailers. I've had a lot of experience with all three and would be happy to sit down for an hourly consult to help with any of your needs.
