SUCCESS FOR SALES

2009 has been a great success for Talking Point so far. After being open only 18 months, this spring and summer have seen revenue and sales increase massively.

Sales have increased these last 6 months on average by 100%. This is fantastic news. What is really encouraging is that many of these sales are repeat business or new business that has been recommended by previous visitors to the centre.

Weddings and private events are also on the up and we are now recruiting for more staff to assist on the weekends as well as having a new addition to our team.

I hope you enjoy reading the summer edition of
TP News and I look forward to welcoming you to
the centre soon.


TP NEWS IN BRIEF

Talking Point now has card facilities. After many enquiries, Talking Point can now accept credit and debit cards. We now have a chip and pin machine useable for weddings, conferences and the bar during functions and events. There is no charge for this but there is a minimum spend of £10.

Talking Point is currently undergoing a spruce up – outside! You may have noticed that the grounds have been weeded and had stones put down, the fences around the building have been varnished and flowers have been planted in the borders along the footpath which leads to the front door. Future plans for the outside also include the spiral staircase door to the tower being sanded down and varnished and more plants and flowers around the grounds.

LADIES NIGHT EVENING SUCCESS

Talking Point held the long awaited Ladies Evening in May and as expected, it was a huge success. With a full house that evening, Ladies of all ages turned out to shop.
The evening started with Ladies receiving canapés and a complimentary bucks fizz on arrival. This kicked off the first of 2 fashion shows and Debenhams giving style advice.
The fashions were gorgeous and caused a stir. There was then enough time to browse the shopping stands, including The Shu Bar and Arjento Jewellery, and to get some hair and beauty advice from Saks Hair Stylists and Salsa Beauty Rooms. Then it was time to grab a drink and sing along to Morgan, who was fantastic and had everyone up dancing!
The evening was enjoyed by all and was such a success that TP are considering running it again next year. If you would like to email us your suggestions for the next one or even reserve your place, then please do so to events@thetalkingpoint.com
