    Oh, and my Brighton friend also had 2 friends sit outside his caf all day working their way through the menu for free, but pretending to be real customers, and commenting really loudly on how fabulous everything was LOL!

    Thanks Supermum! The tearoom is at 122 Orby Drive, Castlereagh Rd, Belfast - Near Grosvenor and Orangefield Schools.

    We are getting busier all the time, but ideas to get more people in are definitely needed, might try the balloons as the kids who come in seem to have loads of money to spend, more than I had when I was at Grosvenor anyway!

    MSN convention definitely a good idea - latte's and cupcakes all round then!
    DJWW - cos we won't let it!

    Ideas Please!

    Girls I need some help! My tearoom has been open for about 3 months now, someone came in this morning and said he goes into the shop next door every day and didn't even see us!

    We have a sign on the main road, a sign above the door a blackboard outside and tables and chairs outside - has anyone got any other eyecatching ideas that might help people to notice us and more importantly bring them in! I have also started putting discount vouchers in bags, so anyone who buys of me at a craft fair gets 10% discount!

    All ideas greatly recieved

    Is it easy to park nearby?
