As pubs, restaurants and hotels put their outdoor furniture in storage for the next six months, the savvy manager or owner will already be preparing for what is traditionally the busiest and most profitable time in the hospitality calendar - the festive season.
With Christmas parties, family get togethers and festive celebrations just a couple of months around the corner, now is the time to make sure that your venue looks ready to welcome your guests.
Happily, the prospects for Christmas 2013 look bright for the hospitality industry. In June, CBI research stated that the sector had experienced the biggest rise in trade since 2007, whilst many of our customers reported a significant increase in summer trade thanks to the long lasting, pleasant weather. Furthermore, as the country slowly emerges from recession, consumers are ready to go out and celebrate.
However, customers will only come to you if you get certain key ingredients right, such as food, pricing, marketing and ambience. Key to attracting your target customer is using the right furniture to create the style and decor that you want. Whether drinking mulled wine around a roaring fire or out on the town in an urban bar, the way your venue is furnished will largely dictate the customers that you attract.
At Trent Pottery we have a huge range of styles to create just the right ambience for your venue. From the contemporary metal framed chairs and table tops of our Coco range - perfect for the urban industrial environment - to the cosy, inviting comfort of our leather upholstered Manhattan two and three seater sofas, we are confident that we have the furniture for you this festive season.
