The ‘Shop Doctor’ comes to Carlisle
Free retail workshop for urban shops
(Date of issue: Monday,12 September 2011)
Shops in the Currock, Harraby and Upperby areas of Carlisle are
being offered the chance to attend a free retail workshop.
The workshop will be hosted by ‘Shop Doctor’ Bill Smith on
Tuesday, 4 October at Currock Community Centre, on Lediard Avenue,
between 7pm and 9pm. It will be based around the importance of the
visual impact of a business and how selling opportunities can be
increased through effective layout and merchandising
techniques.
It will be open to all business owners and their staff. It lasts
a couple of hours and also allows local business people to swap
ideas with fellow retailers.
One to one ‘shop reviews’ were also available from the ‘Shop
Doctor’, as part of the Carlisle City Council funded scheme.
Sixteen shops signed up to take part in the scheme and have
received individual support from the Shop Doctor.
Organiser’s would like to make it clear that the workshop is
open to all businesses regardless of whether they have taken up the
chance to have a shop review or not. They can attend the event as a
‘one-off’.
