To all the young grannies who run a business

grannyactivist

I’m seventy and run a successful business with my husband. Is that young enough to comment or am I too old? 😂😂😂

I'm 69 and I run a successful business too! I fear I may be too old to comment as well.

Maybe consider employing the services of a marketing specialist, they'll be able to give you plenty of ideas/help

My daughter is 52 and runs a business. She wouldn’t dream of asking me or my generation for business or technical advice in order to attract a younger demographic. In fact she doesn’t need advice at all. What is wrong with your business model?

Yes to the vegan and veggie options but mainly I would say get your social media on the case. It takes up I’ve but it’s where people now go for recommendations.

flappergirl - good idea 😂

Musicians know that to stay in vogue they need to keep reinventing themselves (eg Madonna) - so could a change of decor help?

Is there a business course at your local technical college? You have probably lost your spark after so many years.

Why not ask everyone you know what you can do - and ask younger people what they look for...
Do you do takeaways? Is it worth partnering with "just eat" or similar?

I believe something called Dial-Up WiFi is available if anyone wants to enter the Digital Age.

Hope this helps 🙂

I’m afraid there’s no hope for anyone who wants to attract the younger generation who uses the term back in my day at the age of 52
Dare I ask if you have Wi-Fi, and if you do, what speed is it?

If you really want to attract 16 year olds, I suggest you apply for a MacDonalds franchise.

It isn’t genuine. Someone of 52 who has been running a restaurant for 20 years isn’t as clueless as the OP pretends.

If this is a genuine post (Delia Smith) then surely you would look on trip advisor and see what you’re doing right and what you’re doing wrong.

It's not the capable Delia Smith.
She's 82 and quite tech-savvy!

You can comment but how can you possibly know anything useful about technology at your advanced age 😂

Apart from what other posters have said, I don’t think many 16 to 35 year olds have a lot of spare cash to go to restaurants.
I know a couple of people who own restaurants and they’ve been offering Vegetarian and Vegan dishes on their menus for some years.

Exactly and why assume only young grannies run a business?

Just waiting for biglouis to spot this thread... 😳 😂

I agree.

Reads like a bot

Another bizarre op.

A 52 year old lost in this digital age?

There are lots of courses out there but most are online, sorry.

Another bizarre op.

You sound rather ageist. Surely you should be trying to appeal to all ages. Customers ages are irrelevant, because they are customers. Have you never heard of the grey pound?

And when it comes to promotion, I feel a bit lost in this digital age. Back in my day, it was all about word of mouth and local advertising in the paper!

🤔 I'm really surprised that omeone of 52 is lost in this digital age and relied on word of mouth and local advertising in the paper

Well, I find that quite astonishing. Are you asking us grannies to advise you on setting up a website and advising you on digital marketing? Become influencers?
There would be a fee, I think.

Yes, why ask us!?

"How can I appeal to a demographic other than all of you?"
