  • (1888PressRelease) December 23, 2011 - Framingham, MA - Upon completion of the most successful year in company history, Sophelle announced plans to sponsor Retail Insiders' Ultimate CIO After-Party event at this year's NRF Big Show.

    Retail Insiders' Ultimate CIO After-Party is a sought-after ticket - an exclusive, invitation only venue for senior IT leaders who've traveled to New York for the NRF show. It is a forum where CIOs from different segments can see one another and compare notes before the start of the show. The event is being held on Sunday, January 15th, and Retail Insiders will announce the surprise venue in January.

    "I am so excited to have Sophelle, a thought leader in the Retail industry join my sponsors for this exclusive party at NRF. The audience of C level retail executives gains tremendous value from the sponsors and Sophelle has been a great partner," said Cathy Hotka, CIO networker who manages the event.

    In 2011, Sophelle experienced a 50% growth in revenue, and saw a significant influx of new customers, adding to an already impressive client roster of marquee retail brands. In addition, Sophelle augmented its team of Practice Leaders, further expanding the core of Sophelle's value proposition - its depth and breadth of retail IT expertise, business best practices, and thought leadership.

    Sophelle Founder and CEO, Doug Weich, is pleased with Sophelle's performance, and feels they are well-positioned for continued success. "This year we continued to build out our leadership team - adding Practice Leaders that complemented our existing knowledgebase, and deepened our expertise in the areas of merchandising and planning, e-commerce, cross-channel customer experience, customer management, and social media. These are all areas that are major drivers in the industry, and as a result, we've already realized gains in new client acquisition, as well as additional opportunities to service existing clients."

    In addition to sponsorships of some of the week's premier events, Sophelle Practice Leaders are currently taking appointments and filling their calendars for NRF week, where they will be offering trusted guidance and industry expertise on a variety of retail initiatives including cross-channel strategy and go-to-market planning, system selections, e-commerce, store operations, and more.
