Welcome to Episode 5 of Series 2 of the Better Retailing podcast.
This week, the expert retail panel of Natalie Lightfoot, Aman Uppal and Atul Sodha are joined by Sandeep Bains, of Welcome Faversham.
The team touches on the recent protests against Dhamecha and News UK, talk about what’s going on in their stores right now, and then delve deeply into some key topics
· How to make parcel services work for you (or when to get out if it isn’t!)
· How to grow your delivery offer and the work – and team – needed to make that happen
· How to introduce hot food-to-go into your store
· How to compete with those around you.
Spoiler alert: stores need to look forward, focus on what they do best and what is most profitable for your shop, and look at what your shoppers want most!
