		<description>This is a great point.  Localizing your customer experience requires an in-depth team approach from national, regional and local marketing managers.  Every market is different, and marketers need to recognize popular trends and demands in various markets.  This also requires strategic brand filters to ensure the experience has consistency.

This is why local chains and independent retailers have such an advantage in delivering memorable customer experiences.</description>
