What’s going wrong?The answer may lie with your people skills…Why do people come to your restaurant? By now you should know why people frequent your restaurant…or at least you should know why they don’t.They do not come for cheap food. It’s cheaper at home and there is certain to be cheaper restaurants than yours.They certainly come to eat different foods that they cannot make at home but there are plenty of similar restaurants to yours.So you will have worked out your “unique selling benefit” and you will have marketed that. They don’t come back and you have to discover what it is that is not providing the benefit that they were expecting.Often the a
Price reflects the value sacrificed for the acquisition of an item at the moment of purchase; therefore price paid is a historical fact and does not necessarily reflect the value of the item after the transaction, since this may change.

One thing I would always do is scout out the competition to see if they posed a threat to our franchisees and our forward progress in the market place. I would often visit their facilities and was usually taken aback at their lack of caring for the environment, plastic drums anlong-term agreement with a vendor we soon come to loathe, underpricing our products or services, or allowing someone to get too far behind on their invoice before we cut off the faucet...each mistake hurts. If we are lucky it only hurts our pride, but quite often we get burned - that is, we take a hit in the pocketbook, too. Something most small business owners cannot afford. The important thing is - what will you do now?

Who buys what is constantly in a state of change. Many marketers think that it is ok to have one universal package that appeals to every one. Wrong. Each target demographic has unique needs. Two very hot packaging demographics include women and boomers.Note: The first boomer turned 60 years of age on 1/1/06.
