A Cut Above
It’s not unusual to get offered a cup of coffee and a chocolate digestive while you’re having your
haircut, but London salon Percy & Reeds have taken the refreshments concept to a whole new level. When you book
a morning appointment online , you’re invited to order in advance from a breakfast menu that includes hot
sandwiches, porridge, croissants and cereals. A choice of hot and cold beverages and newspaper, completes the
picture. Everything is outsourced and simply added to the clients bill.
In a competitive environment, anything that gives you an edge over
the competition can be extremely valuable. Is there an add-on service you can bolt on to your business which
will differentiate you from all your me-to competitors.
