We all know what a pain it is these days trying to get customers to spend money. But there are some pretty easy methods that work that give you that "why didnt i think of that " thought. One thing i noticed running the Tee Pee restaurant is what is my image in the community or where do i fit in the community. These methods can help your business get mass amounts of customers.
First thing to do is take a drive around your business a half mile circle and see who's established or what kind of business is there around you. Do you have younger people , is there older people that live your area.. Are there doctors offices , commercial businesses and schools etc.. What im trying to say is what can you do to cater to these peoples needs get some money out of them.
Working with schools and teachers has been one method that really gets things going when you feel like your slowing down. Go to the districts and say i want to make my name a presence with the schools in the district. Offer them a discount item, vip card etc. Remember they are teachers unfortunately they dont make a killing with there salary but as a group they can bring some good profits in to your business. Team fundraisers these can be a royal pain in the butt with parents and school officials. My official stance on fundraisers is you have to come to me and give me sales then i will give you a percentage of the sales. I usually make a coupon up and send it to the district and then to the school they have a weekend or special day to use this. I save the coupon and record the subtotal sale they still pay the tax and at the end add up the sales and give 15-20% back to school and district. I use district because they have all the schools more people, more exposure to your deal.
There is so much more i can go on with that really does not cost you and arm and a leg. I just dont want this article to turn into a book. thanks so much i can go on and on with secrets.. jeff killeen killeen12@gmail.com Facebook page link check us out
