Go Your Own Way

Last night Colin Gilchrist visited TEGretail HQ to deliver the first of our new Shop Local Retail Masterclasses . How did this concept come about? Problem: Our clients identified a number of areas where they requsted additional support. Solution: Provide a series of free masterclasses led by industry experts accessible to local retail business owners in the community. Session 1: Marketing It was a great evening full of tips, tricks and expert insights into the world of marketing. The knowledge and expertise gained allows our clients to implement it into their existing business strategies and boost your customer experience when shopping with them.

Time to shine ✨️ This week is my first show of the season and what better way to kick it off than being at Keswick Mountain Festival. The event is free to attend and is always a great weekend. You'll find me in the Travel & Trade Tent with all of my wears and some new additions. I hope you see there 👋 #makersgonnamake #maker #smallbusiness #madeincumbria #keswick #designedbyme #madebyme

Happy New Home 🏡 I love a collaboration. In particular when its with the lovely Fong Dawson CeMap CeRER . Fong wanted to be able to gift her clients something unique when they move onto their new home. Fong had a 'problem / need ' and I solved it for her by printing the Map of the customers new location onto a very sweet house shaped keyring. The perfect bespoke gift for any new homeowner. Plus you'll never forget where you live! #newhome #homeowner #collaborationovercompetition #collab #smallbusinessesunite #workingtogether

Simple is best Another great crafting session with Rosehill Welcome Hub. This week the attendees made sock bunnies. A great activity for all ages and abilities because it involves no sewing! Just add a sock, some rice, elastic bands and some decorative accessories (who doesn't love googly eyes). #craft #creativeworkshop #inclusivity #creative #communityarts

I've been playing around with these designs for a while, hoping to launch them ready for the summer months. I think they would look fab on memory trees or in costal properties. I may make them bigger as pieces of wall mountable art. Any thoughts from my lovely followers? #newdesign #newproduct #creative #smallbusinessowner #thoughtoftheday

That's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who visited my stall at the Lakes Hospitality Trade Show this year. It was so great to catch-up with clients and meet new some new ones. I'll be touching base with everyone next week but for now I'm having a couple of days off in York. Amy Thompson Sarah Tasker Jen Braithwaite Mary Ballard Kirsty Heywood-MacDonald Natalie Barker

What's in the box? I've literally had this blank wooden box in my possession for about 5 years but never really knew what to do with it until now. I knew one thing, it had to feature a map. What I didn't know is that when I started it I was going to inlay the box lid with coloured perspex. The next stage for this one? Showcasing it at Lakes Hospitality Trade Show on Wednesday and then perhaps a darker version. What do you think? The creative fog has definitely lifted! #interiordecor #interiordesign #contourmap #gift #productdesign #designdevelopment #productdevelopment
