Following our workshop programme, we’re hosting a series of short Ask Us Anything sessions for Wealden retailers.
These informal 45-minute webinars are a chance to check in, ask questions and get practical advice from Wendy and Ophelia on the topics we’ve been covering together.
Perhaps you’ve started implementing some of the ideas from the workshops and want a bit of guidance, reassurance or feedback. Maybe you have a quick question about branding, social media, shop displays, selling online or planning your next steps.
These sessions are relaxed, supportive and designed to help you keep the momentum going.
Join us for a quick conversation, bring your questions, and take away a few useful ideas you can put into action straight away.
Below you’ll find the upcoming dates and suggested discussion topics for each session.
