Hints and Tips for a Busy Christmas and New Year
With the festive season well and truly under way, we have produced a list of ideas to help you maximise sales at this important time of year.
There are ten great tips. They range from adding seasonal extras to your offering to improving customer service, sales techniques and response handling to ensure more profits.
Why not try creating gift-purchase options or do some local promotions? Experiment with sending e-Cards or personalised postcards. Or simply give your menu a seasonal face lift with some mulled wine laced with Alnwick rum or some Lindisfarne Oysters wrapped and grilled with local bacon.
