Business owner compliments Chewits promo for generating revenue

With many parents taking advantage on the summer Chewits promo over the past couple of weeks, we challenged you to deliver an outstanding service, converting these into paying customers.

Darren Plowman’s (business owner operating in North Norfolk) summer course quickly filled up with parents using their free Chewits voucher which delighted him as this presented a great opportunity to grown his customer base/revenue on future courses. In his own words, check out Darren’s success...

“We had a big influx of parents booking using the Chewits promo, last week. We had such interest and as a follow up today, we had 33 on our course. 15 of these used the promo last week and paid in full this week. As an estimate, this is an additional £120 - £180 worth of business thanks to the Chewits promotion.”

Keep an eye out for the Sunday Star where the promotion will feature again this weekend.

The benefits of structuring your performing arts business – empower your staff...

In this week’s Premier Performing Arts article, we’d like to ask you the question; are you operating a structured performing arts business?

We caught up with Richard who’s relished his new role...

Since my new role, until now, we’ve had a large increase in Performing arts business putting us in a great position ready to go in September. We’ve increased extracurricular events in this period by 12 (10 after school clubs and two lunch time clubs).
