14th September - Birmingham (UK)

The Venue - The Holiday Inn, Birmingham Airport

Convenient by road, rail and air

As with previous forums, participation is the key and there will be plenty of opportunity to network and exchange ideas and experiences.

PMA Retail Forum takes shape

Final preparations for the PMA Retail Buisness Development Forum are under way and it promises to be an action packed day with experts and peers sharing their knowledge and experience.

And it’s going to be a very interactive day too.

The day starts with a two hour session “Introduction to the Mary Portas Masterclass”. You will have seen Mary’s programme on television, how she helps retailers understand what their business is all about and how to best present themselves. This  first session on the Masterclass is entitled “My Shop, My Future” and will ask you to examine the vision you have for your store. You will be asked to think as a retailer selling entirely different products and ask yourself how you would go about getting that message across. Then apply that same thinking to your own store, with the help of the Masterclass, using a mixture of experience and specialisation and a third vital ingredient which you will learn about on the day.

So you will now see here on the Forums that new “Sub Forums” are now available.
A bit of a test area, is our “Noritsu Section” that now has been split into a number of areas, yet all under one banner.  Within this area you will see that we now have a vendor area, for those that want to gain business can promote themselves. We do have some certain conditions though!

Plus a new sub section is a Noritsu “Parts and Services” wanted so a Noritsu user can make a request, and a verified member is able to then offer a service.

This is open to exploitation, though and if found out the vendor will have their account removed.
I will let this run for a while, and if it works, will do the same with all of the other popular sections.
Please, do feel free to feedback and contribute your thoughts and ideas.
