Independent Retailer Month

International Retail Month started in the USA in 2009. The aim is to get the message across to the public that independent retailers are essential to the vibrancy of the retail scene. The key is Impact-Connect-Engage. The promotion is now spreading to the UK and Australia. This is an ideal opportunity for retail groups and Chambers of Commerce to get together and promote the month. It is a reason for retailers to plan July promotions and events to lift sales in independent retailers. One source of more information is; www.independentretailermonth.co.uk
