Week thirteen of Ilfracombe courteous town initiative

robertz — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:19:47 +0000

We’re coming up to Christmas and stress levels could start to rise. It’s very easy to get worked up about things as the pressure to get Christmas presents, complete extra work and attend functions can make us tired and less patient. Complaints can arise from the simplest problems because they seem just one more hassle, which is a shame in the season of goodwill.

Reducing complaints is what we’ll be focusing on in week 13 of the Ilfracombe courteous town initiative so that we all remain in good spirits.

We’ve now recognised 66 courteous businesses in Ilfracombe

Week twelve of Ilfracombe courteous town initiative

Help!

That’s what marks out many of the courteous businesses we’ve recognised in Ilfracombe. They don’t just sell to customers, they go beyond that and help whenever they can, even if it’s not related to making a sale.

That’s what we’re focusing on in week twelve: how we can help others. It makes the world a better place and it’s good for business too!

Week 11 of Ilfracombe courteous town initiative

robertz — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:08:36 +0000

It’s just four weeks to Christmas and for many businesses and many shoppers we hope it will be a busy time.

But last-minute orders, anxious customers, crowds and a lot more pressure can make it a stressful time for people running businesses, employees and customers. Tired and under pressure, courtesy can suffer.

In week 11 of the Ilfracombe courteous town initiative, we’re planning to make sure we remain courteous and can all enjoy preparations leading up to the holiday and the festive season itself.
