Selling to Grantham
Worth knowing hereFast rail links mean a growing commuter population whose expectations of local businesses are shaped by London and Peterborough.
The bar is convenience, not price
Somebody used to booking everything through an app finds a business that only answers the phone between nine and five genuinely difficult to use.
Online booking, or at least a form that gets a prompt reply, converts this customer. Asking them to ring during the working day frequently does not.
Published prices matter for the same reason: they are used to knowing before they commit, and a business that will not say reads as evasive rather than flexible.
They are away all day
Commuters are out of the house during your working hours, so anything requiring access needs evening, weekend or key-holding arrangements — and the site should say which you offer.
Food processing and agriculture
Grantham's commercial economy is food processing, engineering and farming, buying on specification, compliance and reliability.
Questions people here ask
- What do commuter customers expect?
- Online booking or a fast reply, visible prices and appointments that fit around being out all day. Convenience, more than cost.
- Do we have to publish prices?
- It helps considerably with this audience. They are used to knowing in advance, and refusing to say reads as evasive.
- How should access be handled?
- Say plainly whether you offer evenings, weekends or key collection. Commuters are absent during normal working hours.
