2014 proved to be a record breaking year for UK tourism as spend and visits reached their highest ever levels. It’s reported that overseas visitors spent £21.7bn last year (up 3% vs previous year) and set a new record.

Wherever you are, it’s important to think about how you can take advantage of tourists – both domestic and international. How visible are you online when people search for places to go, stay or eat at? What does your profile look like when people look for reviews on TripAdvisor or other key portals?

When people arrive in your town/city, how well represented is your business at local tourism information points? What does your external signage say and who does it resonate with? In terms of thinking local, would locals in your vicinity recommend you as the place to go?

Additionally on the online and print side, how appealing does your business look both in professional photographs you put out in to the market and those taken by your patrons on their mobiles? This is where you can stand out from the crowd with your unique blend of barware, tableware, glassware and other products. It’s that blend which will set you apart and bring people through the door.

Your next customer should be your gateway to many more so keep them inspired. If you need ideas on how to use the products we supply to set you apart, get in touch. Our team have years of experience in helping businesses do exactly that.
