The story of this events venue is truly inspirational and one for the books. And it teaches a lesson to bigger restaurants, some even branded, franchised that sadly did not weather the hard times while this quaint events venue stood firm and steady, able to withstand the harsh and uncertain times.
It is not even a big restaurant, 150 seating max. Once you enter, you can see the whole venue in 3 seconds.
But that “little” venue got HUNDREDS of online reservations worth millions in 4 years.
Why so? Because they were able to capture online reservations on the spot.
For one, there were a lot of OFWs who were to come home for a few weeks just for their wedding and wanted to book their reception while they were still abroad and was able to – ONLINE.
They already SEALED THE DEAL ONLINE while still in Dubai or Saudi because of Peach Blossoms’s website, which had online reservations. https://thenewpeachblossoms.com
Because of the time difference, some of the online bookings were even during the hours that Peach Blossoms was still CLOSED.
Imagine making money while still closed?
The moral of the story is, make your business have a strong online presence, and make booking or ordering smooth, seamless, and easy 24/7.
Do NOT give customers an opportunity to venture elsewhere and look for another. Give all the information, pictures on your business website and let them seal the deal within your website.
I have always believed in this concept which is why we came up with the “best of both worlds” idea – a website and a superapp.
Don’t let your business drown in competition. have a strong online presence, give the customer all the information they need enough to seal the deal on the spot.
