Trader’s
representatives were provided with a management overview of the role of the
TAC, and the core qualities that identify the market and how it differs from
other shopping destinations. We examined the retail elements that will require
our attention if we are to continue exciting our customers and compete in a new
retail environment. We were taken through some of the physical facility
management that is needed to accommodate our customers and we looked at the
various marketing avenues that will help draw more customers to our stalls.
Finally we
talked about the establishment of two sub-committees to help carry the
workload. There will be one sub-committee looking at retail matters like,
product mix, customer flow, license arrangements etc., and one sub-committee
looking at marketing issues and opportunities. Over coming days we will examine various aspects of the discussion in more detail and seek your comments on this website.
