Outdoor and Social 2025 retail staff and brand bookings are open
How clued up are your retail staff on all your outdoor brands and how they can work within the Running and Trail Running world whether it is shoes, clothing or accessories? You need to be at Outdoor and Social to give your staff FREE training on these subjects and cross training in other possible areas.
Do you want your employees to explain to your customers what each piece of equipment does? Is it right for them? Or could they suggest another brand that would be more beneficial to their needs (to help repeat purchases) then you must send them to Outdoor and Social.
It is an outdoor trade event, event with the support of the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) and Running Industry Alliance (RIA), providing workshops and practical sessions designed to increase knowledge and confidence in outdoor products and skills through experience.
Delivered under the guidance of brands, experts and professionals it is completely free of charge to all retail staff and aimed to help all retailers and their staff deliver better information to the consumer.
The brands that are attending can be viewed on Outdoor and Social 2025
The event will be held in the same location again this year at Newfold Farm, Edale, on March 11, 12 and 13, 2025. And once again the event is free for retail staff, including accommodation, food, drink and a varied and interesting list of speakers.
The event is designed for retail staff to be trained directly by brands and experts.
We consider the primary goal for training to be hands on experiential learning backed up by secondary theoretical learning.
The brands also provide staff with demo kit to use during our mountain leaders led offsite hikes to experience these products in practice which results in extremely effective training.
With the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) we have also created the first certification to recognise retail staff have the knowledge to pass on to the consumer in store and ultimately convert more sales and additional sales by using the knowledge, competency and confidence they have gained.
We provide a marquee(s) where we cater all meals for attendees along with tea, coffee and evening drinks.
All staff from brands and retailers camp in tents during the event.
The event is free to attend for retail staff. This reduces any expenses incurred by the retailer to only travel (which we encourage by train).
