Fraser Bradshaw of creative agency saintnicks will explore the role of brands to consumers and how they can keep their relevance in a world of over-supply, outlining the key steps to strengthening brands and achieving sales growth on and offline.
Jonathan Watson and Nick Richardson of The Insights People will give visitors a heads-up on consumer trends in the nursery sector and an insight in how they can engage with consumers effectively and encourage sales in an ever-changing, highly competitive market place.
Ross Hewitt of Secret Pie will explain the importance of smart social media planning, covering how retailers can get organised with content and begin to create a plan that will help them to stay focused on messages to their existing audience while also attracting new followers.
Finally, the uncertainty of Brexit is a hot topic and will be raising a lot of questions as we draw closer to the day itself.
