Hear what participants are saying!

Retail Academy was a great experience and completely customized to my city. The team at Retail Strategies set me up for a successful ICSC and future recruitment and retention efforts.

I had a great experience at Retail Academy, the instructors were awesome! When I asked questions or made comments, they were open-minded, attentive, and engaging, and it showed that they had done their research on our community. I appreciate their expertise and value their guidance in our retail recruitment/expansion efforts.

Like many rural, small, and mid-size communities, we have a tight budget and assess each investment we make. Our goal is to create a vibrant marketplace that supports current business and attracts complimentary businesses. Retail Academy was the perfect solution. The value we received from the tools, education, and experience at Retail Academy far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend their service to any community looking to do the same. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have.

This is an excellent resource for any elected official, city staff or commission/chamber member to help better develop a real plan for recruiting the best businesses to your community.
