Last year brought unprecedented challenges across almost every industry, but we believe there are many good reasons to be optimistic for 2021.

Firstly the Australian Retailers Association reported nearly 32 billion dollars of retail trade in November last year, a strong 17 growth in 2019. Figures from the ABS also show that the industry is recovering well from the challenging month we saw last April.

Over the last year, we’ve seen a strong trend to shop online and shop local people travelled less instead rediscovering their local stores and shopping precincts shoppers are seeking an authentic local relationship. So your shop must offer a safe and trusted destination for your customers to enjoy an outstanding shopping experience.

It was fantastic to finish 2020 hearing such optimism from many retailers in our regional areas for many years. Phil has been road tripping to meet retailers just like you. Late last year, he visited Emerald. He was amazed by the enthusiasm, passion and energy of so many retailers. With that in mind, we have a lot planned this year to ensure we continue to support and inspire you on your retail journey.
