Yesterday for lunch, the Redhead and I went to a local restaurant named The Green Parrot (for our Monk Parakeets). They opened several months ago and we’re trying to do our part to support them. There aren’t many choices around our place of abode, so it’s nice to run down the steet and have good food.
We arrived early for lunch (about 11:30 AM) and were quickly seated in a booth. we overheard the waitresses laughing and soon discovered the reason. One of the waitresses was calling her regular customers and telling them the daily special. The place wasn’t busy, so she was taking the initiative to call customers, extending a special invitation.
We left as soon as we finished eating, so I don’t know the results of her marketing effort, but I liked her taking the initiative.
What are you doing today to try to increase your business?

Hi, I was wondering whether you would be able to give me permission to use the photo of that parrot for my GCSE coursework. It would be really useful,
thanks,

Ella, that was done so long ago, I’m don’t remember where it came from. With several hard drive crashes, I don’t have any notes on the post either. Sorry. I know it was available through Creative Commons, so you should be good to go, though.
