Increase Retail Sales With Meetups

The article "Increase Retail Sales With Meetups" talks about sales management, it has been written by Timothy Lee.
I recently attended the monthly Italian language Meeutp here in Little Rock. Meetpus are informal social gatherings of human being with similar interests in a particular topic.
Topics for Meetups range from political to cultural to intellectual to fun.Meetups are usually held in books stores, coffee sohps and restaurants. As Meetups occur mid-week, on what are usually slow nights for many small businesses, Meetups often bring additional traffic and sales.For instance, this time there were six individuals at our Italian language Meetup. The Meetup was held at Boulevard Bread Company, an Italian bakery which also serves full gourmet meals. Among the six of us, three ate full meals and three had light snacks. All had imported Italian beverages. Altogether about $60 in additional sales were generated by this one Meetup. As the Italian language Meetup occurs on only one mid-week night each month, an addditional 16 nights are available for otehr Meetups at the same location.
Potentially, an additional $1,000 or more in sales could be generated simply by hosting nightly Meetups at this one location.While dozens of Meetups take place in Little Rock and much larger cities, smaller communities are largely untapped. All a small business need do to tap into the Meetup network is ofefr space for small gatherings. Ideally, small businesses should shrae affinity with the Meetup group hosted. For example, gardeners might Meteup at a local plant nursery.
Our Italian Meetup chose a bakery which carries Italian products and where the owner vistis Italy twice each year.Now, if we can only get that Entrepreneurs Meetup going…By day, Timothy Lee is a university-affiliated small business extension specialist and national seminar leader in Little Rock, Arkansas.
