Do you notice that seasonal gifting occasions such Christmas, Valentines, Mother’s Day, Easter, and others, are some of your best sales periods? If so, you’re not alone. The entire retail industry is based around capturing the customer buying for these events & the injection of cash that these peak selling times can bring.

Avoid that last minute panic & maximise your sales while feeling confident and prepared. In this highly practical and jam-packed session, we’ll be walking through the steps that you need to get prepared for each gifting season.

With double the knowledge, we have two retail experts hosting this session – Catherine Erdly of The Resilient Retail Club and Joanne Griffin of Creative Flow Collective – together sharing their years of expertise in the industry.

This online workshop aired live on 22nd September 2021. You are purchasing a recording of this session and you have lifetime access to the workshop.
