“I sold the man cabbage water!”
Welcome to Episode FOUR of Series 2 of the Better Retailing podcast.
This week, the expert retail panel of Natalie Lightfoot, Aman Uppal and Atul Sodha talk about an extraordinary number of topics.
We touch on Aman’s latest foray into journalism; Nat’s refit (and how she trapped a customer in the store behind her new fridge); have a great debate about price-marked packs and whether you should or shouldn’t be stocking them; EcoTrac and how it helps sales (an extra £700 per week?!!); and talk about the importance of initiatives like Women In Convenience, which takes place this week in Coventry - including an incredibly personal story from Atul.
And, of course, we learn how Atul sold a customer cabbage water. Yes, cabbage water. Water leftover from boiled cabbages. Anything really is possible in convenience retail.
Hopefully the stories in this episode resonate with retailers out there – please do share your own stories and feedback with us via any of the methods below. We’d especially love your views on price-marked packs – please let us know your thoughts!
