My passion is to help independent retailers like YOU to have a profitable retail business – without burning out.
Business doesn’t have to be all about stress and hard work – you can achieve success and enjoy the journey.
Unfortunately, it took me too many years of working more hours than I should and getting to the point of burn out, before I figured this out.
Even though I had a business degree, there was nowhere I could go to find out how to open or run a retail business.
There was no community of retailers who would openly share their knowledge or experience.
For as long as we can remember physical stores have relied on local footfall to bring in new customers. But with fewer people hitting the shops this is no longer a strategy business owners can rely on; now or moving into the future.
To compensate I see retailers running themselves into the ground, throwing money, time and energy into poorly planned marketing activities that simply don’t increase the numbers of customers making their way to their physical or online store. Or convert to sales.
If you own a retail or e-commerce business and you’re ready to get customers back spending instore or online this weeks episode of Bringing Business To Retail is for you. I’m going to step you through the fundamentals of creating a marketing strategy that doesn’t rely on constantly generating new leads, increases your revenue and creates the kind of customer experience customers are desperate for.
