THE NMTF 400 business support package has been a runaway success since it was launched at the NABMA conference in September.
Both local authority and private market operators are buying into the programme at special discount rates (see below).
Sheffield City Council has just placed an order for NMTF 400 for all its traders.
NMTF Chief Executive Joe Harrison said: “The cost is being shared between the council and the NMTF Sheffield branch.
“To my mind this is an excellent use of resources and a fine example of how traders and operators can work together for the betterment of the market operation as a whole.”

For NMTF members the cost is just £25.

What is NMTF 400? And how does it work?
NMTF 400 is a series of self-help modules and accompanying full-colour guides.
The individual trader can assess his or her business from the point of view of the customer — effectively getting the shopper’s eye view on what is on offer.
The modules, which can be used in easy bite-sized chunks, are designed to make the trader look critically at the service provided, and in combination with the guides will demonstrate how, often with very little effort or expense, the stall can be transformed to attract more
business.
They cover all aspects of the business, from looking at signage and pricing to customer service.
