This long standing, independent business provides nuts, grains, dried fruit, munchies, sweets, and special surprises at costs way below those in the supermarket. They package almost everything in-house, saving the customer the cost of bulky packages. The staff members are terrific - helpful, courteous and knowledgeable.
The owners are caring and thoughtful. However, they could probably double revenues with some simple publicity strategies. for one thing, many university students, who depend on affordable, high carb food, don't know about this store. So some well-placed flyers and/or ads at all of the nearby colleges and universities would probably yield some good results. Also, business travelers love stores like this because they can buy small portions and not have to pay exorbitant grocery costs just to have some snacks. So placing cards, flyers, etc. in all of the local hotels, b.and.bs., and hostels would also be fruitful. While businesses are all rushing to facebook etc., now, often the quickest way to find new customers is with well placed ads at local kiosks (ie. not newspapers), but actual places - train and bus stations, bicycle shops, bulletin boards at gyms, larger laundromats, apartment building and office buildings. Finally, letting major companies know what you can offer for their meetings and parties would probably go far. Most companies's newer, younger workers don't want donuts and coffee - and would be probably thrilled to have a choice of some of Nuts To you's famous high energy mixes.
We are lucky to have this retailer and I hope they hold the fort and continue to do well.
