Why retailers are the key

Both these streets have exactly the same paving. The key to vibrant shopping streets is the retailers, not the paving, infrastructure or the landscaping.

THANK YOU for being passionate about creating a vibrant shopping precinct or town centre. We share your passion.

We absolutely understand how hard it is for small businesses to survive and thrive. But after 30 years, we have developed a tried-and-tested program that creates more vibrant town centres.

We spell out, step-by-step, how to create and run the Town Boosters Program. It is a “guide” not a “bible”. While we recommend you follow the processes outlined, we also invite you to make improvements and create your own innovations.

Please share with us any changes you try, and the results, so we can continue to improve the program (email: [email protected]). At Creative Communities we are dedicated to the constant evolution of our programs, and sharing best practice ideas.

In a nutshell, Town Boosters helps create a more prosperous shopping street or precinct, by sharing nine simple hacks, then helping businesses apply what they have learned in three mentoring and coaching sessions.

Have fun! Be creative!
