SHOP TALK
Do you have a farm shop?
Would you like to improve it but dont know how? Does your shop have some plus-points you are keen to capitalise on but are not sure how to go about it? Or maybe some problems you
cant quite seem to solve?
Well farmers weekly would like to help. We are teaming up with farm shop guru John Stanley and plan to provide one lucky farm shop manager/owner with some suggestions on improving their business free of charge.
It could be you.
You would get the benefit of free advice from one of the worlds leading retail consultants – all we ask is that we can spend a day at your shop (Oct 2) and that we can feature the advice in farmers weekly so other farm shop owners will be able to draw some pointers from your experiences.
So, if you fancy taking part, write and tell us a little bit about you and your shop. Tell us what you do well and maybe not quite so well. Tell us a little, too, about the background (how long the shop has been open, how big it is, if you run it in conjunction with a farm, etc).
Send to: Shop Talk, Farmlife, farmers weekly, Quadrant House, Sutton, Surrey. SM2 5AS.
Or e-mail tim.relf@rbi.co.uk. To arrive no later than Fri, Sept 7.
