‘From Social Media to Store Sales –
Mastering the Customer Journey’
Dave Christie, Coach & Business Mentor,
Take on Goliath

In this punchy and practical roundtable session, small business champion, Dave Christie, of Take on Goliath, invites independent Irish health store owners to take a fresh look at the full customer journey, from the first Instagram scroll to the final purchase at the till. Attendees can expect a straight-talking, insight-rich discussion focused on real-world strategies:

• How are today’s customers discovering your store?
• What stops them in their tracks – or what makes them walk straight past?
• What small changes can drive big improvements in footfall, sales, and loyalty?

Dave will bring the latest shopper behaviour stats, share proven tactics that work in independents across the UK and Ireland, and encourage a collaborative space for sharing what’s working on the ground. Ideal for store owners, managers, and marketing leads who want to turn browsers into loyal customers and make every touchpoint – from post to product – count. Let’s talk growth, layout, loyalty, and everything in between.
