Board Retailers Association + M1
Board Retailers Association (BRA) provides the resources that keep board specialty retailers competitive and profitable. Management One delivers merchandise intelligence and education to support these efforts.
The above referenced goal of BRA is in part achieved through the identification of ways to help lower the day-to-day costs of doing business, to increase profit margins and to create more remarkable customer experiences.
“We are very pleased to mention that Management One is a BRA Supporting Vendor Partner that provides a variety of helpful retail related resources and quarterly webinars that help retailers to lower day-to-day costs, to increase profit margins and to create more remarkable customer experiences for our retail members throughout the USA.”
—Doug Works, Executive Director of Board Retailers Association
About Board Retailers Association
Board Retailers Association (BRA), a nonprofit trade association, represents board specialty retailers in every region of the United States including Alaska and Hawaii.
The name Board Retailers Association reflects the multidimensional aspect that most retailers in our industry have. Retailers that promote surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, SUPing, wakeboarding, skimboarding, kiteboarding or windsurfing all share a central theme as board specialty retailers. BRA organizes and expresses the views and concerns of independent board sport retailers in an effort to help promote our industry and support the board sports specialty retailer.
