Setup & brand
Format, location, brand and the operating model for the first shop, including what a decent first quarter looks like.
Retail
Format, catchment, brand and stock have to be designed together. We help with that before the shutters go up.
Retail still needs three things held at once: the room, the offer, and how people find you.
ACS works with retail stores, consumer brands, multi-location ventures and new shops. Setup and brand sit with advisory. Traffic and conversion sit with marketing. Stock, billing and customer history sit with technology. A boutique and a volume format do not get the same plan.
How ACS helps
Format, location, brand and the operating model for the first shop, including what a decent first quarter looks like.
Local and digital acquisition, launch campaigns, and a path from walk-in to repeat that is not only discounting.
Store systems, inventory visibility, and a simple customer record for people you want back.
Questions
Both. A first store done properly is often harder than the fifth.
Yes, when those channels belong in the model, not as a panic side project.
