Experiential Retail Summit: Holiday Edition

Event Navigation

Following last month’s popular Experiential Retail Summit at the Lyceum, Visit Alexandria and the Small Business Development Center are joining forces again to offer a follow-up session Experiential Retail Summit: Holiday Edition specifically designed to drive holiday sales by enhancing Alexandria’s nostalgic ‘shop small’ holiday shopping experience.

Please join us on Monday, August 20 at the offices of Visit Alexandria/SBDC, 625 N. Washington Street, Suite 400 for a workshop and personal consultation on ways to create eye-catching Holiday Windows for your retail shop. Our guest speaker will be visual merchandising expert D.P. Miller whose window designs are legendary who will offer a one-hour workshop on ways you can create a dazzling holiday window display with lights and Alexandria themed decorations (we’re talking tartan!). As an added bonus, participants attending the workshop can sign up to attend a one-on-one 15-minute design consultation with the experts for their business.

The cost for the workshop and consultation are free, but space is limited. Please click here to register for the workshop. Remember also that this is the perfect preparation for your application for a $250 window display grant.
