Store owners and boutiques: how this course applies to yours
Retail was the instructor’s first industry, and the course carries that: each lesson opens with a short story from a real kind of store, such as a confused boutique without segmentation, an electronics retailer mapping its customer journey, an outdoor retailer turned around by content, or two e-commerce stores and the cost of not testing.
Independent retail stores
For a local store the goals are footfall and customers who come back. The customer retention, customer relationship management and customer journey lessons cover the second visit; for the first one, our free guides on using local community events and in-store displays go well with the course.
Boutiques and fashion stores
Two stories are boutiques and one comes from the clothing industry, so the segmentation, positioning and return on investment lessons speak to boutique owners directly: who you stock for, why they should buy from you rather than online, and whether your marketing pays.
Specialty retailers
Electronics, outdoor and beauty stores appear in the stories, and the content marketing and social media lessons show how specialist knowledge becomes the reason to shop with you.
Stores adding online sales
The testing and optimization lesson, told through two e-commerce retailers, and the integrated marketing communications lesson cover running the shop and the website as one business. See also the best e-commerce platforms for small retailers.
What you will have finished by the end
- A defined customer segment and a clear reason for them to shop with you
- A retention routine that brings customers back without constant discounts
- A consistent message across the store, the website and social media
- A simple testing habit for offers, displays and online pages
- A way to measure which marketing actually produces sales
When this is not the right course
This is a marketing course, not a retail-management or merchandising certification, and the certificate of completion is not an industry accreditation. If you own or run a store and want more returning customers, it is built for you.
