In partnership with Sports Direct and Sondico Professional, Premier launched a new online shop allowing parents to order personalised kit, equipment and accessories for Premier activities. We’ll be introducing more items in the coming months as we respond to customer feedback and needs. Parents will be able to access the store when they login to the Family Portal being guided by a new parent landing page which has been created to accommodate the development.

Just a quick recap...

• Identify a need – research, theme products, create a sales plan
• Assign suitable product – Why? How? Progression routes...
• Agree investment – school’s portal, return on investment, pupil assessment

The Golden Mile has created a Road to Rio competition, providing your schools with a solution to engage pupils in the 2016 games in Rio.

The competition will add value to your existing Golden Mile customers as well as supporting schools to increase every pupil’s activity levels. It’s also a great, innovative way for you to engage with new customers by inviting them to take on the Road to Rio challenge.
