At Flavor Burst, we aid our customers in their success by offering practical tools and strategies to ensure your shop thrives. Let’s dive into some key tips and operational checks to set you up for a busy season worth celebrating!
Marketing Strategies to Attract More Customers
1. Social Media Magic
Use free platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to showcase your treats and engage customers in a laid-back and enticing way. Try posting:
- Behind-the-scenes clips of your team preparing soft serve
- Trending short-form videos with popular sounds
- Eye-catching images of colorful and delicious treats
2. Create a Home Base with a Website
Your website should clearly display your hours, location, menu, and any promotions. A simple, easy-to-navigate site reassures customers and keeps them informed. Your website should enhance your brand ethos and reinforces the good emotions customers have when interacting with you in your store.
3. Offer Special Promotions & Novelty Flavors
Limited-time promotions and new seasonal flavors encourage repeat visits. Our online Syrup Shop makes it easier to experiment with flavors and attract new customers!
Prepping Your Shop for Peak Season
1. Stock Up on Supplies
Review your inventory, discard expired products, and restock syrups, mixes, and toppings. Flavor Burst syrups have a two-year shelf life, making them a smart investment.
2. Ensure Machines Are Running Smoothly
Test and clean your equipment now to avoid last-minute breakdowns. Check for necessary repairs, stock up on spare parts, and keep sanitizing solutions on hand.
3. Analyze Last Year’s Sales & Plan Ahead
Look at last year’s top-selling flavors and promotions to plan this year’s menu. The Flavor Burst Soft-Serve System can dispense up to 16 flavors, providing endless creative options!
