Vision Statement for Retail Business

A vision statement for a Retail company or organization should focus on the potential inherent in the company's future, or what they intend to be. While a vision statement might contain references to how the company intends to make that future into a reality, the “how” is really part of a "mission" statement, while the vision statement is simply a description of the “what,” meaning, what the company intends to become.

How to write a vision statement
Writing your vision statement is a time for creativity, ambition and fun, but the task should be approached seriously.

A vision statement should also be concise, no longer than a sentence or a few paragraphs. You want your entire team and organization to be able to quickly repeat it back and more importantly understand it. But a vision statement should be more than a catchy tagline.

Tips for crafting your vision statementVision statements should stretch the imagination while providing direction and clarity. A good vision statement will help inform direction and set priorities while challenging employees to grow. The vision statement should be compelling not just to the high-level execs of your company, but also to all employees.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when crafting a Vision:
·       Project five to 10 years in the future.
·       Dream big, and focus on success.
·       Use the present tense.
·       Use clear, concise language.
·       Infuse your vision statement with passion and emotion.
·       Paint a graphic mental picture of the business you want.
·       Have a plan to communicate your vision statement to your employees.
·       Be prepared to commit time and resources to the vision you establish.
Your completed vision statement will give your employees a clear idea of your company's path forward. Then, it's up to you to nurture and support that vision and to inspire your employees to do the same.
