Stefanie Couch led two Do it Best and True Value partner sessions at the 2025 Independent Home Improvement Conference in Orlando. The presentations paired business visibility with practical uses of AI and automation for independent retailers.

About the Event

The IHI Conference brought the independent home-improvement channel together at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes. Do it Best and True Value’s education was part of the partner programming preceding the main July 30 to 31 conference, with sessions open to attendees across distributor affiliations.

What Stefanie Covered

In Unmistakable: Why Visibility Is Leadership, Stefanie examined how owners and their stores become recognizable and trusted in their markets. The discussion connected a business’s presence in the store, in its community and in local media with its broader growth strategy.

AI Unleashed: Embracing the Power of AI and Automation focused on manageable applications for independent businesses. Examples included invoice handling, product-information updates and ordering processes. The two sessions approached different parts of retail leadership: how a business is known, and how routine work can be supported by technology.

  • Visibility as part of business strategy
  • Store-owner presence in the community and local media
  • AI and automation for independent retail
  • Invoice handling, product-information updates and ordering workflows
