About

It can feel complicated and daunting to evolve, adapt and optimise your retail business. But resting on your laurels is no longer an option.

So, how can you ensure that your retail business maximises profits and stays the course? By giving us a handful of hours of your time.

Whether you’re a group of 4 or 100+, an Insider Trends workshop can supercharge your projects. Our workshops help clients get a 10x return on their investment.

Our approach to retail workshops

All sessions are designed in response to your specific business, its needs and challenges, so you’ll benefit from every second.

Our sessions are as enjoyable as they are useful, for good reason – play and joy lead to gamechanging ideas. We’ve also got some great twists and unusual approaches that can shift your group’s thinking and experiences up a gear.

We’re experienced in both in-person and remote workshops, as per your team’s needs.

Retail workshop themes

Themes can include:

• Quick wins worth thousands
• Better customer journeys and experiences
• Sustainable retail – initiatives and/or execution
• Fast-growth business and competitor assessment – and how to capitalise on new opportunities
• Product brands – how to communicate, engage and sell direct
• Innovative, profitable loyalty programmes
• Futureproof mindsets and structures
• Key retail trends and how to capitalise on them
• In-store, omnichannel and online innovations

Workshops are available as standalone sessions, follow-on sessions after retail safaris, or regular development sessions.

 

Through a series of enjoyable, impactful processes and modules, our workshops will:

• Inspire your team
• Help them explore new perspectives, opportunities, concepts and retail trends
