Even when offering massive price reductions on top-of-the-line motors, great returns policies and fantastic trade-in prices, it’s not always easy for car showrooms to get customers in the door. With so many dealerships around for punters to pick from, not to mention the increase in online motor sales, the competition in the automotive industry is fierce right now, which means sales staff must pull out all the stops if they want to raise company profits – and their commissions!
But it’s not all doom and gloom. The truth is, increasing consumer interest really isn’t as hard as you might think. Often, it’s as easy as buttering your customers up a bit first before approaching them with a sales pitch, which is what makes open days a fantastic business tactic. These events allow locals the chance to explore the range of deals on offer in a way that feels far less intense than a regular trip to the showroom.
Since launching our catering service many years ago, Hog Roast Mexborough has been hired time and again to handle these sorts of events, and our clients are always thrilled with the results. Most recently, we had the pleasure of assisting car showroom manager, Leanne, with her business open day, for which she wanted us to serve our Classic Hog Roast Menu to the potential customers as they arrived.
Our Hog Roast Mexborough team were glad to help out on this occasion, and last Sunday, Colin and the crew rustled up a lip-smacking spit-roast with enough meat for 250 people. The melt-in-the-mouth pork was served on gluten-free and wholemeal rolls with our famous crackling, savoury sage and onion stuffing, applesauce and side salads. Additionally, they had prepared grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers as a meat-free option for vegetarian and vegan guests.
Having our Hog Roast Mexborough caterers present at this event certainly paid off, and with the guests in food heaven, Leanne and her sales staff were able to secure a mass amount of sales and even some pre-orders on upcoming vehicle releases, making this open day event a huge success.
