Project proposal “
Exclusive character shopping centre Maastricht”
• Introduction:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The last few years, a high number of exclusive shops in Maastricht “disappeared” etc.
Reasons: loss of income, no possibilities for online sale, no participation in Sunday-sales
Effect: uneventful shopping centre, monotonous, loosing attraction, loose tourists, no
competence with other cities, degradation of the town, safety problems etc.
Desired situation: Maastricht likes to maintain the exclusive character of the shopping
centre, creating new economic chances and opportunities.
Partners
1. The local government of Maastricht is willing to provide affordable means (affordable
location, administrative support) for new entrepreneurs to start exclusive businesses.
2. The Chamber of Commerce invites creative entrepreneurs to team up with shopkeepers
to explore creative interventions enabling shopkeepers to attract more clients to their shops
in Maastricht.
Goal: Supporting exclusive shops to strengthen their business, will attract more clients,
tourists, develop more possibilities for business and business partners, giving positive
economic impulses and creating local employment, etc.
AIM & SMART
•Aim: To strengthen the business of five exclusive storekeepers
and therefore contribute to the exclusive character of the Maastricht
shopping centre.
•SMART: By September 2015, five exclusive stores/shopkeepers
have defined 2 innovative sales techniques which enables them to
attract 20% more clients.
Activities
1. Brainstorm sessions
Two members of the Chamber of Commerce and three creative entrepreneurs will select five
exclusive storekeepers (and their staff) for a brainstorm meeting about actual problems and
innovative ways to strengthen their business.
2. Concept idea
The three creative entrepreneurs will develop and present a concept idea on innovative sales
techniques. All project partners will be invited for the presentation of the project plan.
3. Pilot project.
After a final agreement a pilot project of 1 day will be planned.
One store will be selected by the entrepreneurs and the results of pilot project will be presented
to all project partners and necessary adjustment will be made.
A final project plan and time schedule will be presented to al storekeepers.
4. Implementation Project Innovative Sales techniques
A three days experiment with innovative sales techniques will be introduced to the clients in the
five shops.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation
