Event Description

Many independent businesses believe they need more customers through the door to increase sales. But often, the biggest opportunities for growth are already sitting inside the business.
In this one-hour session, retail expert Sally Pepper will share insights and fresh perspectives on opportunities that can have a significant impact on sales and profitability, without relying solely on increasing footfall.

Together we’ll explore how to:

• Look beyond footfall and identify opportunities for growth that may already exist within your business
• Understand where your greatest opportunities for increasing sales and profitability really come from
• Create a better customer experience that encourages repeat visits, stronger customer loyalty and increased spend
• Strengthen your visibility, attract attention and make the most of every customer opportunity

This session is designed to get you thinking differently about your business and help you identify practical opportunities for growth that you can begin implementing straight away.

Ideal for independent retailers and high street businesses looking to increase sales, improve profitability and build a more sustainable business.
