Independent retailers face a host of challenges in today’s business landscape. As a small retailer today, you must ensure you keep up to date with technology trends, from point of sale systems to effective online merchandising, to boost user experience and keep your customers coming back.
High street-only operators have the additional challenge, of course, of having to compete with online rivals as well and entice their customers into their stores. All of the candidates in our new Retail Business of the Year category have shown innovation and a real knowledge of their market to grow revenues and forge successful paths in a cut-throat landscape, and this month our judges will have the difficult task of choosing a winner.
The British Small Business Awards is the leading celebration of the UK’s small business sector, recognising the nation’s best sole traders, micro businesses and small companies – as well as the service providers, financiers and advisers that support them.
