Re-inventing Yourself in Garden Retail - GGOL-EF
The current economy (and weather-affected Springs) have challenged many bottom lines and made even industry veterans ask themselves where the business is going. Are we even relevant to today’s customer? But not all retailers are doing badly; some have increased customer count AND sales per customer. Ian will show how successful garden retailers have re-engineered their business, combining project inspiration from IKEA with the know how of a local Ace set in a stylish full-service “ambiance” like a Nordstrom’s. It can be done; it must be done if independent garden retailers are to survive and thrive as the economy picks up.
