Parched Pooches

Healthy Happy Meal

 McDonald's offers free fruit (a pineapple stick) on the first Friday of the month - it may be one of your five a day once a month but the health message is getting louder.  What does your cafe do to promote health?

Three at a Time

The Five Bells in Wickham, West Berks serves their 9 Real Ales and 7 Real Ciders in 1/3 pint glasses so you can try 3 at a time.  Seems a great idea and thanks to my brother Simon who undertook the sampling on behalf of Great Cafes readers.

Whose Brand Are You Promoting?

The ubiquitous and prominent Coca-Cola fridge but whose brand are you wanting to promote in a cafe.  Dur......   Surely your own.  Companies may provide free equipment but it's at the expense of promoting yourself.

Cake, Coffee & Your Custom

Those wonderful partners at John Lewis are after your trade and offering coffee and cake to account holders every month.

Happy for a Week

 Starbuck's Happy Hour - two hours for a week with a Frappucino.

Free Treats

Dogs and their owners really can increase your trade.  Large sign outside Wallingford eatery.

The Angel's Share

Good Eating Company run this excellent cafe within the Angel building in St John Street just down from Angel tube.  Bravo to developer Derwent for their belief in creating ambiance, bustle and quality public space within their buildings.

 The 50p reduction on all cakes after 2.30pm is a clever way to encourage afternoon sales and ensure cakes are kept fresh.

 Hospitality mini-scones, macaroons, carrot cake whoopie pie and chocolate and pistachio tart are all made on-site.

£1 Warm Up

£1 porridge or toast for Costa Coffee Club members before 11am.  The offer to beat - and a difficult one at that - is Waitrose's free coffee for card holders.  See http://greatcafes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/little-waitrose-big-offer.html
Great Cafes predicts many more offers and promotions all in the effort of attracting footfall.

Daily Specials

 Fakenham Garden Centre's cafe works hard to get the locals in every day of the week.

Could It Be You?

The ever-creative Beach Cafe at Wells-next-the-Sea, North Norfolk gets those dog owners eager for more.  Having established the K9 Club - 600 members to date - Manager Alan Miller now gets emails from his doggy customers.  Brilliant.  Check out https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wells-next-the-Sea-Beach-Cafe/197479383652772 to see how competitors have to have a photo of their pooch taken at the Cafe to enter.

 Great way of encouraging those promotional  tweets at Kings Cross Station as few can resist funny photos.
