Part of a series developed from the ATCM 2004 Summer School. Compiled from a presentation by Bob O’Brien, Crawley Town Centre Co-ordinator and Lorna McKenzie, Dundee City Centre Manager, chaired by Jenny Inglis, City Centre Director, Birmingham.

Issues to consider include research to identify who is trading, for how long, who their customers are and where they come from. Local shopping centre marketing departments should be able to help with this data. Consider also the history of growth and any impact on Saturday trading. Go to your retail partners for this information. Ask for a daily breakdown of sales.

Part of a series developed from the ATCM 2004 Summer School. Compiled from a presentation by Geraint Williams and Graham Rees, Stockton-on-Tees Town Centre Management and Liz Sharples, Sheffield Hallam University, chaired by Carolyn Dunne, Norwich City Centre Manager. The Stockton Experience Events are vital tools in marketing the town centre. They deliver new customers, create more footfall, draw in private sector involvement and provide good PR. The secret of success in any event is the detail. Stockton’s mission was to create the liveliest and friendliest town centre in the North East. The town centre branding leads on all events, rather than the local authority. The events programme capitalises on the town’s USPs: the widest high street in the UK, a great riverside area, town centre green areas and a proud heritage, such as the world’s first passenger railway. Remember your assets and heritage when designing the concept for events.
