About The Director – Amy Roche

Amy Roche is the award winning author of “The Retail Experiment” and founder of Retail Rockstars, a firm of in-store event architects™ who have produced over 155 unique in-store events and welcomed over 5,800 smiling shoppers at their clients stores across Australia.

Back in 2014, Amy started experimenting in her own Big Box retail store by using ‘industry experts’ to run educational workshops because she saw three alarming trends emerging;

  • Her customers were not responding to marketing as they once did
  • Every year profits were deteriorating
  • Her foot traffic was declining

After a couple years of trial and error, Amy wanted ‘to bottle’ the special ingredients of her most successful events and created Experience by Design™, her own unique five-step methodology which ensures an inspirational, memorable and positive psychological in-store experience.

 

When asked by a mentor what these ‘experts‘ represented in her events, she said, “They are the Rockstars“, and that’s how the name Retail Rockstars was born.

 

Her book entitled, “The Retail Experiment, 5 Proven Strategies to engage & excite customers through in-store experience”, is all about winning back the modern customer and available through all good book retailers in Australia as well as Amazon, Booktopia, Dymocks, Barnes&Noble as well as e-versions on iBooks, Scribed and Kindle.

  • I attended the Myer –  “Discover Your Spring Racing Style” and was delighted with the morning.

    Uncovering my style personality was enlightening and learning the colours and styles to best suit who I am was a lot of fun.

    Local milliner Felicity was fabulous –  were we shown what styles suited different shape faces but we got to try on many different styles.

    Lots of fun and laughs and I walked away with a hat I would never have given a second glance!

    Such an informative and fun morning – I would definitely attend another session with these experts and Myer again.
