It’s so important these days to find something positive to talk about and choose how you look at it, it has to be something to celebrate that the Queen will reach her 95th birthday this year. We’re certainly celebrating, as Lucas will also be 95 this year!
It’s certainly been a very tough year for everyone, but we wanted to take this opportunity to say a special thanks to all our customers in the butchery trade, who have made an amazing contribution throughout 2020.
This year, more than ever before, it will be important for butchers to stand out from the high street crowd and to come up with some cracking creative ideas that will make a stay-at-home Christmas much more interesting and enjoyable for your customers.
Halloween and Bonfire Night will certainly be completely different this year, with more and more households under limited lockdown and customers opting to stay indoors for perhaps the first time. This presents you, the butcher, with some great opportunities to make extra sales by catering for mini-events held indoors, or in the garden.
There’s little doubt that it will be a long time before most people are ready to go back to eating out at cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs, (ah, remember those places?), which means that butchers have an opportunity to go beyond supplying simple meats: Here’s the ideal time to offer meats and ready meals that are similar to those that customers would normally enjoy when they’re eating out.
