Smarter Buying for Independents

13 Sept 2026
Retail Revealed Live Stage
Independent & Unapologetic
Most independent retailers are running a shop, buying the range, merchandising the floor, doing the accounts and selling to customers, all at once. So the range has to work as hard as they do. In this session, drawing on 15 years buying for both high street giants and independent department stores, Natasha shares a smarter approach to buying at every stage: before you place the order, during the buy, and after it lands in store. Practical, honest and full of examples you can put to use the moment you walk off the show floor.
