Top five tips to survive the credit crunch

  1. Keep the business looking good. It doesn't cost much to keep a place clean or give it a lick of paint, but will make it look welcoming to customers. 
  2. Don't scrimp on quality. Customers will know if you have swapped your usual high standard products for cheaper alternatives and may be reluctant to pay the same price. 
  3. Use promotions.  They bring in new custom and can make existing customers feel they are getting more for their money.
  4. Join forces with other local businesses.  If you can share deliveries or buy certain goods together in bulk it could save everyone cash.
  5. Continue to develop the business. If you planned menu changes or a redesign don't  hold off. It will retain interest.
