To celebrate #smallbusinessseptember we are sharing Small Business Commissioners Top 10 Visual Merchandising Tips
Visual merchandising helps business owners present their retail space in the best way possible to entice
customers and maximise sales.
Tip 1:
Shop your shop
External shop front
See your shop through your customers’ eyes.
Stand outside your store and observe the following:
• Is your store name clear and easy to read?
• What do you sell? As a customer passes can they quickly and easily read your signage?
• Do you display key words outside your store describing the nature of your business?
• Do you look open or closed?
Handy hint:
Use flags, bunting, greenery, A-frames or
oversized props to alert customers that you
are open for trade.
Be sure to check with your local Council
about what’s permitted.

Collarenebri Economic Development Project
RDA Orana has been commissioned by Walgett Shire Council to work with the Collarenebri Community to implement a localised economic development program.
The project includes
- working with the community to develop a masterplan
- the delivery of 6 business improvement workshops and
- 3 project feasibilities
We had planned to be completely immersed in Collarenebri,,,, until covid!
Unfortunately our program of face to face community engagement has been impacted, but we still want your input!
We are seeking Expressions of Interest from locals to participate in the Community Reference Group, that will help guide the project.
We are currently following up one-on-one with those who registered to attend (cancelled sessions) or have registered interest in the project.
Next, we will draw out further info on the 'big ideas' as the overarching goal of this program is to create capacity, industry and connection in the Collarenebri community. Certainly, there will be opportunities for business training and development.
If you wish to be involved Please Register your Interest below.
