**************************************

&#8220;A Stimulus Package for Restaurants? About Time!&#8221; Says Marketing Expert

Weary of discounting and price-cutting? Restaurateurs &mdash; rejoice! It&#39;s time to get back to doing what you do best - cultivating potential customers! (People can cook just so many meals at home &mdash; even great ones! &mdash; before they long to get out and about for something more.)
150-PLUS TIPS ON HOW TO ATTRACT AND KEEP SOLO DINERS, 2nd Edition &mdash; is now available to help you take aim at a long-neglected hungry market. 

This market is HUGE! Solo diners include singles, business and pleasure travelers, very-marrieds whose spouses are out-of -town, divorced, widowed and MORE: Sooner or later EVERYONE faces the challenged of eating alone.

Updated, expanded and enriched with commentary from the internet, 150-PLUS TIPS, has been written with busy restaurateurs in mind. View any section or devour the entire booklet for fresh insight into attracting and keeping solos as repeat customers &mdash; alone or accompanied by friends or colleagues

Sections include: Solo Savvy in General &mdash; &#8220;Seating&#8221; to &#8220;greeting&#8221; suggestions; Communal Table Logistics &mdash; What you need to know to attract solos (and couples) to communal table dining; Counter/Bar Logistics &mdash; Mirrors &amp; serpentine bars &mdash; can they work for you? plus a special Q &amp; A on working with the media. These are tools &mdash; emphasis: low or no-cost &mdash; to put into play today!

Author Marya Charles Alexander believes that restaurateurs are ready to sink their teeth into cultivating markets rather than cutting prices. &#8220;An untapped market is a terrible waste - especially during economically-challenged times.&#8221; 

The 49 page 150-Plus Tips On How to Attract &amp; Keep Solo Diners, 2nd Edition (1st published in 1996) is now available as a PDF file for $19.95.
