The retailers in the centre of Coffs Harbour must be pleased with the improvements, which have been made around Harbour Dr and the centre of town.
I’ve been away for a week and come back to the corner of Harbour Dr and Gordon St intersection completed.
I must say it looks fantastic, although it did not come without some pain.
With construction comes disruption to business as usual, however now its completed there is a sense of freshness and rejuvenation to an area which now primed and ready for growth.
Business people are resilient and know how to capitalise on every opportunity, which comes their way and there are plenty of them happening in the CBD.
The activation in the heart of town is exciting and happening through regular events, new roads, new buildings and there are new customers who are curious to see what it’s all about.
A Coffs Harbour retailer with 15 years’ experience told me once how he went about his business.
He said “get your ship in order in winter and be ready for the onslaught of tourist season”.
I always remember these words and realise there are many businesses who live by them here in Coffs Harbour.
For him it included training his staff on providing great customer service and sales, making sure his marketing/ advertising plan was updated and achieving what he wanted it to and that his shop was well presented.
Business people who are pressured for time might feel they miss some of the key elements of business which allows them to maximise opportunities.
If this is you there are some great local companies who support the Coffs Chamber of Commerce, which can help get your business ship shape to take advantage of the busy season.
So reach out if you need assistance. It’s no secret that building a team of professionals around you greatly improves your ability to leverage your time and ensure the latest training and ideas are being introduced to your business.
