The Coastal Connections Conference is pleased to announce it is offering a special new VIP registration option for coastal retailers who want to take advantage of more networking and educational opportunities ahead of the Feb. 11-12 event at the Margaritaville Resort Orlando.
The highlight of the VIP registration is a 2-hour workshop featuring Michael Hale, owner of design consulting firm Retail Rehab, an attendee favorite who has a wealth of experience with planning and designing retail spaces. Also included in the VIP registration package is a VIP dinner Feb. 10, a VIP breakfast Feb. 11, followed by the 2-hour workshop.
During the VIP workshop: Creating Dynamic Displays, attendees will get their creative juices flowing with a hands-on workshop led by Hale designed to invigorate their store displays.
“Visual merchandising expert Michael Hale has helped numerous retailers capture more sales with his unique ability to revamp retail sales floors into visually captivating spaces,” says Kristin Ely, Coastal Connections Conference director. “His sessions at our previous conferences have helped attendees gain a competitive edge in their store displays. Being able to expand on that during a two-hour long workshop will be invaluable to coastal retailers.”
With 30 years of experience in various retail capacities, Hale and his team make retail spaces more functional and productive. Retail Rehab clients include Princess Cruises, Loews Resorts, Sheraton Hotels and the Inis’ retail store in Huntington Beach, California, which opened in March 2022 and immerses guests in the scents and sensations of the sea with 1,200 square feet of space and floor-to-ceiling windows with views of palm trees and the Pacific Ocean..
Hale says, “I am thrilled to help coastal retailers improve their sales through innovative display ideas. Both my workshop and main conference session ‘Profit Producing Spaces,’ will leave you with new and valuable techniques and strategies that can be immediately implemented to breathe new life into your store’s offerings and increase sales.”
