Any fashion boutique owner who has wrestled with ideas on how to boost sales or struggled to give their retail environment an effective facelift needs to check out ‘Mary Queen of Shops’ on the cable channel BBC America.
Featuring fashion industry specialist Mary Portas, a fixture in the London retail fashion scene for over 20 years who is touted by the program promoters as being the ‘Gordon Ramsey of the retail’. In the series, Mary focuses on independent boutiques that are operating in the red, not turning a profit or at least very close to the line and demonstrates various branding, merchandising and retail concepts to turn their business fortunes around.
