  BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP FOR HOTELS AND ACCOMMODATION BUSINESSES

Convert your spare, empty and unsold Hotel Rooms into new business. Almost every day and night your hotels will have empty rooms yet the fixed costs of running your business will remain unchanged. This means every day you are simply losing money.

Unfortunately you can never recover your lost revenue from an unsold room. Once the date has passed it will have gone forever and you will have missed the opportunity to make money from it. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Take a look at other areas of your business that could be losing money due to spare capacity. Do you offer conference facilities for the business sector? Do you cater for weddings and private parties? Are these function rooms fully booked?

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Mortgage or rent for the building, business rates, room service staff, catering and bar staff, telephone, heating, lighting and maintenance. These overheads remain the same regardless of whether your hotel has 1 guest or 20 guests.

Typical Costs & Expenses

● Advertising - Local magazine or national advertising to attract new guests.

● Internet Marketing - More and more hotels are investing in internet marketing, which also involves improving websites and online booking systems.

● Printing - Hotel information brochures, personalised printing such as letterheads, compliment slips and business cards.

● Office Stationery - Pens, paper, envelopes, ink & toner cartridges etc.

● Computer servicing & maintenance costs.

● Laundry Services.

● Dry Cleaning Services.

● Staff Incentives.

● Customer Loyalty Schemes.

● Trades Persons - Plumbers, electricians, decorators, general maintenance.

● Room and office furniture.

The industry standard is that hotels operate at 80% occupancy, which means if your hotel has 20 rooms that sell for an average of £80 per night, you would stand to lose around £320 per day. This potential loss in revenue amounts to a total annual loss of £116,800. And it could be much more if you provide conference, catering and special function facilities.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE BUSINESSES

If you work in the automotive industry you know that many customers will shop around for the cheapest prices when it comes to repairs and servicing. Even long-standing "loyal" customers will compare your costs with those of your competitors. It's important then that you acquire many new customers in order to keep up a demand for your services.

Even if you are a self employed mobile mechanic, are you busy all of the time? Could you manage new business?

Generating regular repeat business and building loyalty is much easier if you get to know your customers better and they get to know you. That's one of the major benefits of being a member of the Satachi community.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage of the garage and yard, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you have to pay your mechanic's wages whether they are busy for 8 hours a day or just 3 hours. Keeping them busy constantly can be a challenge.

If you work for yourself but you're not fully employed during your working day then it's costing you money. It's even worse if you employ staff and they are not working to full capacity.

  1. Sell unused mechanic's time
  2. Gain access to a whole new customer base

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP FOR ADVERTISING & MEDIA BUSINESSES

Every unsold radio/TV slot or page of advertising is potential profits lost forever. Now here is a way that you can minimise you wastage, attract new customers and offset your existing cash cost. Most businesses would like to advertise more for new customers but many are not always sure if the investment will pay off.

By offering your advertising services in return for S£, you'll attract many new clients and fill your ad slots and classified pages. You'll also be able to hold on to your hard cash and instead use your S£ to purchase the products and services your business needs.

Unsold advertising space can now effectively be turned into hard assets or much-needed services, and you will have the opportunity to explore a whole new customer base.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the office space or building, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay your sales team, graphic designers and other media staff regardless of whether you sell the available air time or ad space.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP FOR HAIR & BEAUTY SALONS

When the survival and success your business depends entirely on selling your expertise for money, every hour of your working day represents potential profits. Empty salon seats means lost vital revenue, which can never be replaced.

If you are not operating at 100% capacity all year round, and you can cope with additional new customers then Satachi can help increase your appointment schedule and offset your existing cash costs.

In the beauty industry many salons rely on referral or word of mouth advertising as a way to recruit new clients. Clients brought to you from Satachi can recommend you to other people outside the Satachi community, which can lead to more repeat business.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the salon, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay yourself and your staff regardless of how many clients you see each week.

Typical Costs & Expenses

HEALTH & FITNESS CENTRES / SERVICES

Expensive fitness equipment has to not only pay for itself but it has to help you to generate healthy profits. The only way to make money in this business is to acquire many members, and with current trends highlighting the many health issues, there has never been a better time to recruit. But many people still consider health and fitness training as expensive.

Subsequently they will make excuses not to join your gym or fitness classes. But just how many more would sign up if they didn't have to pay in hard cash? And just how many more businesses might offer their employees memberships as incentives?

Monthly or annual membership fees mean a regular income for you, and it's simply a numbers game. The more members you have the more money you make. Could you do with selling a few more sessions? Satachi can put you in touch with a whole community of potential new customers

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the gym or health centre, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay yourself and your staff regardless of how many clients use your services or apparatus.

BUSINESS SERVICES

Whether you are an Accountant, a Solicitor, or a Business Consultant your level of business profits very often depends on the amount of hours you spend with or on behalf of your clients. Every working hour spent doing something else represents lost potential revenue, which will never be replaced.

If you are not operating at 100% capacity all year round, and you can cope with additional new customers then Satachi can help increase your client uptake and offset your existing cash costs.

Your time is very valuable but it is not infinite, therefore the more potential clients you are exposed to the more opportunities you will have to make time more profitable. Clients bought to you from Satachi can also recommend you to people outside the Satachi community generating even more cash business.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the office building, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to draw a salary and pay your staff regardless of how many clients use your services.

PRINTING & SIGNS

Printing presses not operating at full capacity equates to lost revenue. And that's bad news, because if the presses are silent, profit margins will be nothing to shout about. Every hour of non production is money lost, never to be recovered.

Almost every business will at some time require printing services, whether for letterheads and compliment slips or brochures and flyers. The cost to acquire extra business within the Satachi community can be minimal and the cost to undertake additional work can be as little as the raw material costs.

The services you provide are much needed in business and the Satachi business community can supply you with goods and services, for which you would otherwise spend your hard earned cash.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the building, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to draw a salary and pay your staff regardless of how many printing jobs you have on your books.

RESTAURANTS & BARS

Although one of the most popular and successful sectors within the Satachi community, owning and running a restaurant can be a highly challenging task. Most restaurants & bars have no problem getting plenty of customers on a Friday and Saturday evening, but mid-week often poses a problem. Fixed costs remain the same whatever day it is, so a half filled restaurant is not the way to a successful business.

Accepting Satachi Pound is a great way of filling those empty seats in your quiet times or to reaching full capacity in your busier times. Restaurants often receive a lot of referral business from happy customers and trade customers are no different. They dine on trade with you and recommend your restaurant to their friends who then become hard cash paying customers.

The cost of acquiring more customers from within the Satachi community is minimal, and the cost to undertake additional cooking can be as little as the cost price of the food.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the restaurant, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay your staff regardless of how many customers you serve

Typical Costs & Expenses

● Printing - Menus, brochures, leaflets and flyers.

RETAIL OUTLETS

Every retail outlet has standard goods and services that they purchase on a regular basis to keep the business afloat. By becoming a Satachi member you can offset some of these overheads against new sales we bring you.

Whether you run a branch store or a family-owned-business the chances are that you have competitors nearby. Traditionally you might consider lowering your sale price on certain product lines to get new customers through your doors. Satachi offers a new way for you to generate more sales, create new promotional campaigns and grow your business without putting any of your cash at risk.

What if you could increase your overall marketing and promotional budget to bring more cash paying customers through your doors without affecting your existing cash flow?

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for the store, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay your staff regardless of how many products you sell.

BUILDING & TRADESMEN

Trades such as Plumbing, Carpentry, Electrical, Plastering & Brickwork or general building work are valuable commodities, within the Satachi network. Are you busy all the time?  Trade skills are always in demand but if you're not working at full capacity then your business will not be as profitable as it could be.

Most people tend to stick with tradesmen they trust, and they will also recommend them to friends and family.

Generating regular repeat business from loyal customers is much easier if you get to know your customers better and they get to know you. That's one of the major benefits of being a member of the Satachi community.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for office or yard, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay yourself and any staff wages regardless of how much work you have on your books.

HIRE COMPANIES

Like most hire companies, you have probably invested a lot of money in your equipment and you need to see a steady return. Unfortunately, there will be times when you are not at 100% capacity, and items of equipment are lying around idle. This impacts directly into your bottom line as it represents potential profit you can never recover.

As with most businesses, you rely on a certain number of sales just to cover your basic overheads like rent, electricity, telephones and wages. Added to this are your costs to acquire more equipment, advertise, reward staff, maintain and repair your assets.

Satachi offers rental businesses like yours, the opportunity to attract new customers who may currently be hiring equipment from your competitors. Acquiring these new customers will have a minimal cost but your business will benefit through increased capacity and increased profit margins.

These new customers are business owners, like you, who are looking to save cash and trade what they have for what they need. They prefer to deal with companies who accept Satachi as a method of payment and they provide a way to increase your level of income and offset your existing expenses.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for property, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay yourself and any staff wages regardless of how many items of equipment you hire out.

ENTERTAINMENT VENUES

When you operate an entertainment venue every empty seat or unsold ticket represents lost revenue that can never be replaced. Satachi offers an exciting way for your business to exchange your unsold tickets and surplus capacity for products and services that you need.

If you own an entertainment venue then you know that once your overheads are covered any additional revenue is pure profit. Unfortunately it is not always easy to attract enough additional business to always be in profit.

Let's say that you run an ice-rink business, which can offer skating for up to 200 people. At any one time you are only 80% full. That means at every session you are losing an average of 40 sales, which you will never be able to recover. Being a member of the Satachi community means you can exchange those "lost" sales for goods and services you need to run your business effectively.

Using the revenue generated from these new sales you could offset your existing cash expenses, buy prizes for customers, reward staff, create incentive schemes or embark on new advertising programmes to generate more cash business.

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for property, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay staff wages regardless of how many tickets you sell.

Typical Costs & Expenses

● Internet Marketing - More and more entertainment companies are investing in internet marketing.

● Printing - Tickets, personalised printing such as letterheads, compliment slips, business cards, flyers and brochures.

MANUFACTURERS & WHOLESALERS

Manufacturing and wholesale businesses almost always end up with unsold products at some time, whether it be end of line stock or over production. And because your business needs vital space to accommodate new lines and new products, you regularly end up virtually giving away your surplus stock and making a loss.

Now you don't have to. There are members within the Satachi community that want and need these products and they can offer you their products and services in return. This would enable you to sell off your surplus and end of line products at your usual wholesale prices without having to make massive discounts.

Generally your profit margins are small so here is a way you can maintain your profitability and cut your losses to an absolute minimum. It has cost your business time and money to manufacture or buy in these products so why should you accept less than market value prices for them?

Fixed Overhead Expenses

Rent or mortgage for property, business rates, telephone, heating, lighting, water and electricity. And you still have to pay staff wages regardless of how many products you sell.

Typical Costs & Expenses

● Internet Marketing - More and more manufacturing companies are investing in internet marketing as a way to offload their stock.
