Build up to Christmas
The last couple of weeks have not been
particularly exiting and the town as a whole has been quieter than previous
years. Not only have we found this to be the case in Harold's, but most of the
other businesses are well down on previous years. Even the weekend has been
disappointing. Holiday makers have been arriving this weekend for the Christmas
holidays, but it is still far from the usual
madness.
That said, the feedback of our clients has been positive and we are still getting a steady stream of our old regulars who deserted the place last year coming back in. In the space of half an hour yesterday we had two "oldies" and a ex-staff member that said almost identical things. The atmosphere was unwelcoming and they only came in once (actually, the ex-staff member walked straight out again as there were bad vibes). It's nice to hear these compliments on our return, but there must still be a whole lot of people out there unaware that the Harold's that they knew and loved is back. And this has not helped the current state of affairs.
One clientèle that we have lost is the football crowd with bars such as the Atelier taking advantage of the hiatus to develop their own crowd of supporters. So we have an uphill struggle there that we are currently working on.
The current team is settling down and we believe that we have good one that is reflecting on the positive atmosphere on the place.
We all wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
