Well folks, we're going to give First Free Fridays a rest for now....
With our move in July 2009 to our present Ben White location we figured we ought to do something to get new folks in the door, since we're slightly more off the beaten path - and thus began First Free Fridays. We did them for about 6 months or so, and I would say they were a success overall. About 1/4 of folks that came have become regulars (so far). That's a pretty good rate of return for essentially free advertising.
The flip side of this is the acupuncture tourist. They're just passing through 'cause it's free...
Or the folks that bring a family member and gawk and giggle as their loved one gets poked full of pins. Anyone who ever studied acupuncture has likely gone through this with their own family. It's fun, but not that fun!
To all who participated in making First Free Fridays a success - thank you!
We'll do it again sometime.
