REGIONAL RETAIL REVAMPing
The very first ‘Regional’ Retail Revamp, visual merchandising workshop took place in October 2006, in the NSW town of Hay. 14 years later with over 50 workshops conducted across 35 towns across regional NSW, this revamp roadshow is well and truly in full swing.
Working hand in hand with local Councils, Business Chambers of Commerce, Economic Business Development Managers, local Tourism Officers and the NSW Office of the Small Business Commissioner, the Retail Revamp program has travelled far and wide from the back of Bourke to Boorowa delivering inspiration and information to regional business communities.
The program has grown and developed over the years, what began as a 2 hour workshop, now spans over a week with a variety of Retail Revamp activities taking place, including;
one on one retailer consultations
group hands on visual merchandising sessions
after hours window demonstrations
dusk window walking tours
turning towns around- creative brainstorm sessions & much more
The program brings business communities together and challenges the way a community thinks of its town. Bringing a fresh set of eyes and a new perspective, this program investigates the potential to turn a town around by providing the skills, the tips and tricks and often much needed motivation to get business moving in the right direction.
