Reopening & Retraining Your Brain About Retail

Ya'll, 2020 has been a crazy year mixed with concern and fear of the unknown for everyone. 

As we continue to tackle the idea of reopening studios around the world, feelings of doubt surrounding operations and revenue have certainly crept into the back of our minds. 

Join me this week as I kick off the first episode of a two-part series with top experts from 33Threads, Matt Weaber & Rosie Jermakian. Listen in as we deep dive into the topic of retail as we have seen it, and where these experts see trends moving. 

So, grab your morning coffee and notepad as we outline strategies using retail to grow your profits through careful curation and proper brand alignment. 

In this episode you’ll learn: 

  • What Thirty Three Threads is all about, and the brands they have that you probably are already familiar with
  • Why retail is such an important profit driver for studios {especially long-term, post-Covid}
  • Some of the most common misconceptions studio owners have around retail
  • What to consider before bringing a retail brand into your studio to sell
  • Pricing considerations to ensure profitability {plus strategies for protecting your profit margins}
  • What Matt and Rosie are seeing in terms of changes now that studios are re-opening
  • Their thoughts on the need for sanitation and hygiene at this pivotal time 

With grit & gratitude,

Lisé
