Tracey Ford
I have worked with Debra over my many years in the Retail Property Industry in my capacity as a Regional Manager and a Portfolio General Manager with large Investment Corporations managing shopping centres and Debra has always provided fantastic results for the retailer and the evidence has been in the growth of those businesses. Debra has also worked for Landlords developing and implementing marketing strategies for properties that have shown very successful results. I would highly recommend Boom Retail.

I would highly recommend Debra and Boom Retail to anyone considering their services.

I had the pleasure of working with Debra when I was the Marketing Manager at Calamvale Central Shopping Centre. Debra took the time to understand the project and develop a strategic plan. She ran workshops as well as worked one-on-one with the retailers and the improvement in sales reflected the quality of her work. Debra is a delight to work with, her positivity is infectious and the knowledge and advice that she provided was above and beyond expectations.
