When you think of the month of October you may think of things like pumpkins, ghosts, haunted houses, candy, parties, costumes and more; but what else does October mean? National Roller Skating Month! That’s right, ever since October of 1983, our nation has honored roller skating during the month of October, so why not celebrate with some new skates from Southeastern Skate Supply?

National Roller Skating Month was established in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan. He declared this month to remind families of the benefits of roller skating including a safe place to have fun with your family while getting fit, too!

In today’s world, many people are plugged into electronics (cell phones, laptops, computers, tablets, TVs, etc.), so it’s always refreshing to disconnect from the World Wide Web and partake in some quality fun with family and friends, and getting in some fitness fun is always a bonus! Not to mention, with the cool fall temperatures settling in, October is a great time to bring the fun inside, so why not head to your local roller skating rink?

Social media

Do you have a Facebook business page? Are you active on Twitter? In today’s day in age, social media is a main source for interaction with people not only within your community, but around the world. The first way to improve your business is to get connected. Social media allows customers to give feedback on your business, stay updated with the latest news about your business and much more. If you want to invest in the future of your business, investing in online marketing should be one of your key focuses.

Reviews

In the last section I mentioned that social media gives your customers a way to give you feedback. This can be very closely tied to the success or failure of your business. If customers love your service or product, they’re going to talk about it. The same goes for customers that aren’t fans of your service or product. The important part in getting reviews is that when someone is thinking about trying a new business, what do we do? Most of the time we look it up online and reviews pop up, too. So you want to encourage your customers to rate your business online!

Community interaction

How active are you within your community? Do people around the community know about your business? Do they know who YOU are? Is there a face they can put with your business? Being active in your community lets people know your business cares about some of the same social issues they do (great way to connect on a personal level with potential and existing customers).

Was business slow at the rink this summer? Are you looking to bring more revenue? Check out two ways our team at Southeastern Skate Supply says you can bring more profit into your facility.

Special events

Create cool themed skate sessions to add to your regular schedule, or give one of your open skate sessions and give it a theme like Kids Skate, Teen Skate or even Adult Skate (18+). Other popular themes include 80s Skate. The key to making the special skate sessions fun is keeping up with a current trend. For example, when people were raving about the Pokemon Go game, having a Pokemon themed skate session would’ve been perfect. This could be an area that offers great potential results if executed correctly so don’t be afraid to be creative and trendy.

Fundraisers

Renting your facility out to a group or organization for special events like fundraisers she a great way to bring in extra revenue. You charge a certain price to have the group rent out your facility while also bringing in a percentage of the profit made by the fundraiser. However you’d like to work things out with the customer is up to you, but opening up your facility is a sure way to bring in extra profit because, I mean, who doesn’t love to skate?

Whether it be from special events or fundraisers, you’ll be able to maximize the amount of profit you’re seeing at your rink by implementing either of these suggestions.
