Big tips for small concerns

By Emma Sun
SMALL business owners from Casey are encouraged to check out the Small Business Heroes Exhibition – The Retailers to be inspired by innovative retailers and see their stories.
Narre Warren-based online store, ‘Blinds Online’ will be one of the retailers featured in the exhibition for their successes in the online market.
The exhibition is a colourful display of photographic images and stories of Victorian retailers thriving, succeeding in the challenging economic times.
The free exhibition is a feature event of Victoria’s Small Business Festival, which features hundreds of business events across Victoria from 1-31 August.
The images of each business owner show the passion, dedication and enthusiasm that led to their inclusion in the 2011 exhibition.
The Small Business Heroes Exhibition will be held at The Atrium in Federation Square, Melbourne, from 5 to 14 August. It will go from 6am to 11pm.
