TOUGH TIMES?

A 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE?

Seems like a no-brainer to me!

If you’ve got extra cash right now to spend on big ad campaigns, this seminar is not for you!

However, if cash is tight, sales are a bit short and you’re looking for:

  • solid grassroots ways to boost sales and profit
  • ways to create more fun for staff and customers
  • a boost of selling energy

… without spending a lot of money – then you belong at this seminar!

We have 28 years of HANDS-ON experience selling $35million/year of great food that, quite honestly, hardly anyone ever heard of before we told them about it.  And we do it in a small Midwestern town, out of a retail space that’s no more than a few thousand square feet with practically no parking, in a hard-to-find location.

Our techniques are simple, practical, teachable and really can help you increase sales on a shoestring marketing budget.  This is the hands-on “secret” approach to marketing and merchandising that’s gotten Zingerman’s recognition in everything from Inc. to Saveur to Gourmet Retailer and a Silver Addy.   It’s down-to-earth stuff that can really help you make your sales go up without spending a lot of money.

We guarantee that you’ll return home recharged and reinvigorated, with a whole palette of tools and techniques to immediately boost sales.

By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

Increase sales by…

  • Understanding the importance of Differentiation and Look & Feel.
  • Deciding where to invest your merchandising resources (time, money, space).
  • Designing effective signage and building great displays.
  • Planning in-store promotions.
  • Developing effective written materials and working with the press.
  • Improving your online merchandising.
