Sometimes you need to find ways that your services can by of use for someone else. Potential clients may not realize that you only have to adjust your business a little to meet their needs. A year ago one of our locations was closed on Sundays. As I met different networking groups I would suggest that if they wanted to they could use our space to conduct private meetings without having to order food. This was the first time that we had done something like this but I thought why not give it a try.
The groups were very grateful and the traffic on Sundays to our restaurant seemed to generate more interest. Actually, people kept asking about what was happening on Sundays with the amount of people they would see inside. Now we are opened on Sundays and it is a great day for us. Now during the times of operation that we are not too busy we provide our facility for meetings.
Pictured above is Fempreneur Connections which was the latest group to have a networking event with us. One way you can find out about local gatherings that meet near your area is by looking at meetup. This is a website that is updated regularly and has an array of groups that conduct meetings. I have found it to be helpful for restaurants. Being in business for a few years I realized you just need to approach others and show them how your service can be of assistance to them, as you never know what new doors you may open.
