Any ideas to attract local customers to use our shopping precinct rather than out of town big boy stores?
I have a childrens boutique in a small village type shopping precinct. There are many types of shops from butcher, baker, greengrocer, craft shop, locksmith, fresh fish, cafes, bookmakers, hairdressers, beauty salon, dry cleaners, shoe shop, photographic shop, pubs, charity shop, ladies fashion, hardware, pet shop, jewellers, clock repairer, dolls house shop, insurance broker, toy shop, chiropodist, newsagents, independant supermarket and co-op.
We are all getting together next week to discuss ways of improving customer footfall through our pedestranised precinct – rather than people using out of town stores. Also, ways of attracting people outside of the area. However, we have a low budget to spend. Any fresh ideas for me to take along to the meeting would be much appreciated.
Point to note – over the road – we also have post office, major banks, travel agents two top tourist attractions and a beach less than one mile away.
I’ll use bike stores as an example.
At a good bike shop, the bikes are much more expensive than at the box stores, but they are of MUCH higher quality. You will also likely find many services complementing your purchase, as well, such as bike fitting (muy importante), riding advice, and a real mechanic onsite.
This sort of service keeps the bike shops alive, when it’s easy enough to ’save’ money on a crap-mart bike that’ll end up gathering dust in the garage.
There’ll be plenty of added-value services you can imagine for any sort of business. It’s just a matter of developing them to the extent that people will be attracted to the stores, and advertising, then charging a fair price instead of greedily going for the ’boutique’ prices on everything.
