In This Episode: 

I’m home from a 6-week trip across New Zealand where I perused more than 150 independent retail shops! Phew! In this episode of the podcast, I am sharing 5 tips/observations that will elevate your retail shop. 

Want customers lining up instead of walking by? It’s time to revamp your retail strategy and I have the keys to success! Here are 5 powerful tips to magnetize customers and maximize sales, all inspired by visiting retailers in the wild in beautiful New Zealand.

5 Tips to Elevate Your Shop:

• Boost Visibility: I’ll give you some ideas and platforms you can use right now to make sure people can find you.

• Perfect Your Shop Standards: There is more to keeping shop than turning on the lights and unlocking the door!

• Signage That Sells: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Good, clean signage is a silent salesperson.

• Check Your Inventory/Merchandising: I’ll offer my thoughts around aligning inventory with your branding as well as making sure your shop is “shoppable.”

• Stop Making Assumptions About Your Customers: Offer your help. Serve all of your customers with hospitality.
