Creating spaces: How to create an inviting in-store experience on a budget
The Get your Gong on project in association with the Freelance Jungle presents:
Creating spaces: How to create an inviting in-store experience on a budget.
Have you got a great idea for a shop, art gallery, office or some kind of experience in a shopfront environment?
Is it your first foray into having your own public space and/or want to improve the one you have?
Then we have a special presentation for you!
We’re bringing together three very special people on a panel to help you find a space, fit it out and make it welcoming on a budget.
Hear from clever Illawarra folk in the field on how you can:
> Access a space with ease
> Fit it out for projects small or large, temporary or permanent
> Create something unique without massive amounts of labour
> Make it beautiful and welcoming
> All on a reasonable budget and with the least amount of risk to your lease agreement
