Macy’s, one of the world’s largest retailers is a name to reckon with. No one had ever thought that it would scale such heights when the first store was opened in New York City in 1858 by Rowland Hussey Macy. Ever since its inception Macy’s has always been very innovative with their merchandising. They also have many firsts to their credit. It was the first retailer to promote a woman Margaret Getchell to an executive position in 1865 and she tripled their business. Way back in 1919 they launched the Executive Development Program (EDP) to train college graduates as they started their retail careers. They opened the world’s largest retail store- Macy’s Herald Square in 1924 with over 1 million square feet of retail space. To increase the popularity of their brans Macy’s organised the first Christmas Parade in 1924 which attracted thousands of spectators with floats, bands and zoo animals. It is now known as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. ‘My Macy’s’ launched in 2009 is a unique localization strategy, under which each store is customized according to the needs of the local community.
