Tonight’s Ringwood Chamber of Commerce was held at des Amis, a new restaurant located in the North Ringwood Shopping Centre.
The guest speaker was a marketing consultant who discussed strategies to assist in maintaining business growth during times of economic uncertainty. Key messages included the need for collaboration across complementary businesses, to support local traders and localise growth, as well as valuing customer loyalty and ensuring that all staff reflect the aims of the organisation.
The Ringwood Chamber of Commerce aims to represent the businesses and traders within Ringwood and as such has a particular interest in the Ringwood Central Activities District. In addition to the guest speaker an update was provided on Ringwood, including the Eastland redevelopment which is currently anticipated to begin early next year.
