WOW shopping experience : inaugural National Retailing Competition 2013

Description: The inaugural National Retailing Competition 2013 which served as both a competition and exhibition, was organised by the Temasek Polytechnic School of Business Diploma in Retail Management. Having started in June 2013 and culminating with an exhibition in September, the competition saw individuals from secondary schools and ITEs pit their retail ideas against each other. Finalists were eventually shortlisted and invited to put up exhibits at the WOW shopping experience. The competition had a two fold objective, which was aimed at raising awareness about the retail industry whilst tapping into and attracting bright young minds to the retail industry. The competition also aimed to be enriching for its participants. Participants were required to attend an informative mini workshop which had industry professionals giving various talks. Through these workshops, students learnt the other facets of the retail industry such as branding and the importance of local and overseas fashion trends. Participants also toured 1st Avenue, TP's on-campus retail training store run by Year 2 students from the Diploma in Retail Management.
