 Your customers are smart; you need to make sure you are too. Trends in retail, customer behaviour and marketing move fast! Successful retail and business-to-consumer businesses make sure they keep up-to-date with the latest approaches and techniques to ensure that they win and keep loyal customers and grow sustainably.

We’ve developed a specialist retail programme that will show you how to grow your business by:

  • Understanding the latest research and trends in how customers behave now, and learning how to make the most of this to retain and delight customers
  • Exploring how to make use of digital tools and marketing techniques to acquire customers
  • Using retail specific approaches like pop-up shops, EPOS, stock control and flash sales
  • Building strong relationships with partners, staff and communities to position your business for growth
  • Developing robust growth strategies and monitoring approaches to increase your turnover and margins

Our programme has been crafted by retail and business-to-consumer specialists, who have:

  • Worked as consultants supporting growth at brands including: Virgin, Sainsbury’s, WH Smith, and Volkswagen
  • Launched and grown their own multi-million pound retail business in two years, starting on a market-stall
  • Worked for major retail brands including Tesco, BT, O2 and Skipton Building Society
  • Managed successful restaurants and retail brands
  • Supported hundreds of small business-to-consumer businesses to grow, thrive and survive
