Course curriculum

This short course shows you how you can make your business really shine! First impressions really count and it teaches you just what to do not only with your retail shop window or interior displays - but most displays wherever they are as the same principles apply throughout! So often overlooked, they are a key part of attracting your customers and of course sales! With a lifetime of experience in the world of business presentation and display I've broken the art down into six simple steps. What you're wanting to sell and where - a service possibly - are you targeting the right customer and how do you keep them engaged with fresh ideas all the time? And of course I'll teach you the basic rules and guidelines in building a display, the composition or product grouping/layout which ensures your message has the real impact you visualised....so you'll complete the course not just knowing how and when to create those displays, but you'll be full of inspiration too and raring to go!
