Thinking of Booking a Retail Store Consultant? Here's What You Should Know First

If you're a retail shop owner, you've likely typed some of the following questions into Google:

"How much does retail consulting cost?"

"Is store layout really affecting my sales?"

"Why isn’t my beautiful store making money?"

"What can a retail expert tell me that I don't already know?"

"Do I need visual merchandising help for my boutique?"

If you’re here, chances are you’re:

Working every hour but not seeing the return

Feeling unsure of where your store is leaking money

Wondering if you need a full rebrand (hint: you don’t)

Trying to make sense of slow sales even when footfall seems okay

Let’s unpack what a Retail Store Breakthrough actually is, what it costs, what you can expect, and how it compares to other retail support out there.

What Is a Retail Store Breakthrough?

This isn’t a Zoom call. This is a deep, in-person transformation designed for independent retailers who want more sales without relying on discounts, gimmicks, or more stock.

It’s a structured, hands-on experience that covers 6 core areas:

1. The Walkthrough

You and I will walk through your store together so you can experience it through the eyes of a first-time customer. We’ll spot layout issues, dead zones, friction points, and missed sales moments in real time.

2. The Numbers

We’ll review recent sales, your best and worst performing products, and identify where the money is leaking. I’ll explain AOV, conversion rates, and other key metrics that affect your bottom line every day.

3. The Connection

You’ll learn how to turn browsers into buyers. We’ll improve signage, layout flow, staff messaging, and how customers are greeted and guided through the store.

4. The Strategy

We’ll craft offers that increase spend without relying on discounts. Think: bundles, hero products, and friction-free upsells that feel helpful, not pushy.

5. The Visibility

We'll build a local marketing and footfall strategy to get more of the right people through your door, including partnerships, promotions, and content ideas.

6. The Roadmap

After the session, you'll receive a tailored 6–8 week action plan so you know exactly what to work on, in what order, for maximum results.

How Does This Compare to Other Retail Consultants?

Most retail consultants never visit your store. They offer generic advice based on photos or spreadsheets. Some offer full branding overhauls or expensive courses that don’t touch the core of what’s really going wrong: your customer experience inside the store.

This is different:

It’s personal. I’m there, in your store, with your products and customers.

It’s immediate. We fix what we can on the spot.

It’s strategic. You leave with a plan, not just a few ideas.

This isn't about fluff or aesthetics. It's about action, revenue, and clarity.

Who Is This For?

Brick-and-mortar store owners across the UK

Independent retailers, boutiques, gift shops, lifestyle stores, etc.

Shop owners who want practical, actionable help, not more theory

This is not for eCommerce businesses or those only looking for branding help.
