Christmas Guide for Retailers – get ready for the festive season!

Shopkeepers, download the free guide which is filled with practical tips to optimise operations, marketing, in-store experience and pricing to boost sales and footfall during the festive season! The six-week countdown to Christmas starts tomorrow and this guide will help you to get ready for the busiest retail time of the year.

As part of Norfolk County Council’s High Streets Matter initiative, practical retail guides have been launched to help keep shops vibrant and inviting to existing and new customers. This is our latest one. It is a short guide you can use this year and again next year with your own lessons learnt.

We have more guides to help you and your team improve customer experiences and sales all year round.

This is the eight free guide in a series of the Retail Toolkit. Other guides advise on:

  1. Action plans for growth for Food
  2. Action plan for growth for Non-food shops
  3. One-page growth strategy
  4. Quick tips sales growth
  5. Sales by the coast
  6. Basics of Shop Zoning
  7. Merchandising Guide.
