Attendees at an upcoming retail event will have the opportunity to explore innovative strategies for enhancing efficiency and cutting costs in convenience stores. The event, titled ‘Clever Cuts and Smart Savers: Strategies for Streamlining Efficiency’, will feature a panel discussion on these critical topics, moderated by Dave Webb, who is the head of field operations at The Federation of Independent Retailers (The Fed).
The panel will include a variety of independent retailers, who will share practical techniques that can help convenience store managers, owners, and staff maintain a competitive edge while ensuring high standards of quality. Key focus areas for discussion will include the exploration of cost-effective energy solutions, such as efficient lighting and renewable energy options that could benefit stores both financially and environmentally.
In addition, the panel will discuss strategies for navigating labour costs, which will involve optimising staffing levels and making necessary scheduling adjustments. The examination of technology solutions is also set to be a significant aspect of the conversation, particularly how these tools can enhance operational efficiency without sacrificing the quality of customer service.
Following the morning panel, Ed Roberts, the founder and Managing Director of retail sales data company Talysis, will present during the session titled ‘Maintaining a Competitive Edge in a Changing Market’. In this session, Roberts is expected to delve into how independent retailers can harness data and technology to adapt and thrive amid changing market conditions.
The event appears to present a valuable platform for retailers to gather insights and strategies relevant to their operations. Additionally, those who register to attend by 27 February have the chance to be entered into a draw for an exclusive England Cricket Shirt, signed by former captain Graham Gooch. This element adds a unique incentive for early registration to the event.
