IAA Advice
- Create and begin executing a social media plan that prioritises marketing the vision of the store
- Investigate and test a delivery service app with customers and analyse the results
- Begin collecting actionable feedback from customers about the store relaunch to create measurable and achievable targets

One surprising recommendation we had was for us to wear name badges. It is not something I had considered, but it is an easy win.
Graeme says
