I think it would be a great idea, but I am speaking from Redruth...where we dont have Costa or anything like that- people go to the tyre place and get drinks from one of those machines.:lol::lol:

 

 

Actually i do think its a good idea, they are all over the place, but in most of the the builders merchants (Travis Pekins etc) it is free, and in the tyre place IIRC its only 20 or 30p. Well used though.

hi mate the way i look at it is in order for you to have that in your shop its going to cost you money.. maybe not money directly from your pocket No, but money that could be in the till.. that space which s being isolated for your table and machine could be used for stock, manikins advertising stock or POS's again advertising stock and plus you got the added expense of keeping it up and running all day..

however if people sit down while waiting the are less likely to fill their pockets.. not saying it happens where you are but it certainly does where i work... just something to think of mate... what we do if someone is buying something substantial, popped in for a chat or getting something serviced, basically anything involving them staying in the shop for a while. we just offer them a cuppa and 9/10 they will go make one themself out the back.... :)

Most larger dealers around these parts have a cooler with drinks for sale and sometimes a coffee machine. The coffee is nearly always free and if you get into the shop early enough a supply of donuts can be found but they have a habit of disappearing within the first hour of operation. If you have the space and someone willing to keep it well stocked and tidy on a daily basis I believe jammy is spot on. A monitor with either the weather or current specials of your product line set up on a continuing loop would also be helpful.
