THINGS WE LOVE IN RETAIL THIS MONTH
We love this quote by singer-song writer Conor Oberst
"I think in a lot of ways unconditional love is a myth. My Mum's the only reason I know it's a real thing."
You only need to take a quick stroll through any shopping mall or strip to know May in retail is all about Mums.
'Australians are set to spend $754 million on Mother’s Day gifts with flowers, alcohol, food and clothing topping the gifts for mum, according to research from the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) in collaboration with Roy Morgan.’
At School of Retail we know that 3 in every 10 customers will walk into a store just because of how it looks from the outside and we are loving how creative the visual merchandising teams are being with their messaging for Mums.
Take a look at our favourite Mother’s Day windows on Instagram.
Our fave is Peter Alexander’s localised, clever take on the real life of Mums…
In Class 1 we establish the importance of your store window and Class 9 is all about loving how your store looks and feels.
STUDENT OF THE MONTH
This month our Student of the Month award goes to the amazing team of state and regional managers at Oroton.
They all attended our retail leaders series with their store managers and we believe their high levels of engagement during the classes and consistent encouragement between classes led to a better learning experience for the team.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with leaders who ensure their team is having a great experience.
RETAILER OF THE MONTH
Nike. They just do it!
In line with the launch of the movie AIR we are loving this breathtaking advertising 3D campaign in Japan.
Did you know Michael Jordan is a renowned D style leader?
Come to our classes and find out how to be the leader we all wish we’d had.
Matthew continued, 'The instructors take you through many stages of retail and guide you through with lots of detail.'
Thank you so much, Matthew; it was such a pleasure to work alongside the team, and receiving this feedback is why we do what we do.
