From social media and email marketing to local collaborations and in-store promotions, this session will guide you through creating a consistent, compelling message that reaches your ideal customers both online and on the street.

Tuesday 17th June 9.30 to 11.30am

Led by Helen Goodwin of ‘Made you Look, Made you Stare’. Helen will tour Goodramgate before the events, so advice and course content will be specific to many street businesses.

We talk about why first impressions are crucial for any business, not just retailers, and how eye-catching window, interior and online displays can help them raise their profiles and increase sales. They’ll be amazed how a couple of simple, inexpensive changes can make all the difference to their businesses!

Accompanied by an inspirational PowerPoint presentation this talk lasts 60-90 minutes and delegates will leave full of enthusiasm and full of exciting new ideas to move their businesses forward.
