Orange businesses offered a visual re-vamp

Orange City Council is arranging the workshop, with funding from the NSW Government’s ‘Back to Business Week’ program.

The 2-hour session will be led by Sydney firm, AUSvm Visual Mechandising Solutions.

Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Committee chair, Cr Jeff Whitton is delighted the workshop will be held in Orange.

“When you have a shopfront, it’s one of the day-by-day challenges for people in business, that you have to keep coming up with ideas for making a shop window fresh and attractive,” Cr Jeff Whitton said.

“Within the store, you have to get the balance right between displaying enough stock, but then not putting too many products out on the shelves so that it’s all a blur for customers.”

“With the help of the ‘Back to Business Week’ program, Orange City Council can offer this simple opportunity to pick up lots of fresh ideas, and best of all, it’s free.”

The workshop will tackle the ‘look’ of :

streetscapes,

“Whether your business is in a high-traffic area of Orange’s CBD or you’re in an industrial estate, if you want to make a good visual first-impression on your customers, this workshop is worth sending staff to.”

“As well as picking up some useful ideas, businesses who attend the workshop will have the opportunity for the AUSvm staff to spend ten minutes in their shop or business giving them some specific on-site advice.”

The FREE event will be held Friday 3 March from 7.30am to 9.30 am at the Hotel Canobolas. The event will include a light breakfast. RSVP to Orange City Council’s Business Project Officer, Tony Boland on 6393 8000 or email council@orange.nsw.gov.au
