Does anyone have any ideas on how to get customers to dine in our shop?
Answers:
Offer frequent customer discounts like a little punch card or something. Get some spiffy, modern looking comfy furniture from Target and cute tables. Something that looks good but has the "more is less" appeal so you can stay cost-effective. Also, get Wifi.. you'll get all the business type in there and they'll stay forever with their laptops. Or newspapers, especially Wall Street Journal.
Offer discounts on goods purchased if you stay and eat in the shop.
Make flyers and post them on bulliten boards, look for places that will trade goods for advertising like http://www.morestealsanddeals. Place free ads on online bulliten boards. Have a sampling day where customers can sample your products. Put an ad on your car.
Sounds like you need to advertise. Check with the local newspaper about a postum type insert. As a potential customer, a two-for-one usually gets me into a new business. Also check with the Better Business Bureau because there may be mailers that go out of coupon books you can use.
Remember it takes money/ads to make money/business.
I'm constantly seeing businesses spending so much money on commercial advertising,but did anybody realize that "Word of Mouth" is also a very powerful tool.
make flyers
give away some services
maybe go on the news and talk about your business
send out mail and e-mails regarding your services and what-not
