TM_WG&S_3The online training launch for the Duty Free industry in the spring of 2020 has been a resounding
success among Travel Retail operators and suppliers. Based on such a positive experience, Smart
Project advertising agency plans to expand its audience coverage and include new training
programs in their schedule.

So in a period from 20 to 29 of May there were organized four training sessions on the main
product groups of a famous Scottish company William Grant & Sons, namely Glenfiddich, the
Balvenie, Monkey Shoulder whiskey and Hendrick’s gin. The speakers were the leading
company Brand Ambassadors: Stepan Balabanov, Alexander Karavansky and Andrew Udovitsa.TM_WG&S_1
To maintain a high level of audience interest, product lectures were supplemented with exciting
virtual tours to the heart of the noble beverages production.

Thanks to remote technology, employees of the stores located at various countries airports (in
Russia, Georgia, Belarus and Ukraine) were able to take classes on a virtual platform. Since
neither the speakers nor the audience are bound to the place of training, employees of almost all
Duty Free operators, namely Dufry East, RegStaer, Imperial Duty Free, KAPO and many others,
were able to attend the online course. There were more than 300 people in total.

“Another remote technology advantage is the ability to attract highly qualified training
managers, who due to their high employment level do not have the opportunity to conduct
trainings for everyone offline”, – said Nadezhda Emelianenko, Smart Project CEO.
