IN BRIEF
|
In recent years, many merchants have made the strategic decision to strengthen their customer reception during the month of September. This choice proves to be particularly wise, as it comes with encouraging figures regarding off-season tourism. This translates not only into more affordable prices but also into the merchants’ willingness to offer a quality customer experience in order to attract clientele seeking new discoveries.
A favorable September for holidays
The month of September is often seen as a period of transition between summer and back-to-school. However, it offers many advantages for those wishing to take a break. In addition to benefiting from reduced rates on accommodation, with nights starting from 19 euros instead of 65, holidaymakers can explore less crowded destinations and enjoy a more serene atmosphere. For French people who dread summer crowds, September represents a golden opportunity to travel under optimal conditions.
The advantages of improved reception
Merchants have realized that improving reception plays a key role in the customer experience. Indeed, better welcoming of customers contributes to loyalty and recommendations. To achieve this, they invest in training their staff, beautifying their points of sale, and implementing strategies suited to consumer expectations. Thus, visitors feel valued and are more inclined to renew their experience.
September holidays: a wise choice
An increasing number of people are choosing to take their holidays in September. The reasons are multiple. The stagnation of vacation democratization has led commerce stakeholders to question the motivations of French people who do not go on holiday. Moreover, travel desires are renewed, and September becomes an alternative to consider, especially for those looking to avoid summer crowds and high prices. By exploring new destinations, it is possible to experience unexpected adventures.
Where to go in September?
Destination options are plentiful in September, whether in the mountains, by the sea, or in the countryside. Holidaymakers can choose to escape to less accessible regions in the middle of summer while enjoying pleasant weather. Places like Gironde or Verdon sur Mer are perfect examples of destinations that make sense at this time of year. Attractive deals also allow for discovering campgrounds and vacation rentals from a new perspective, making this season even more appealing.
The impact of a good commercial strategy
Merchants who opt for a better reception strategy during this period enjoy a double advantage. On one hand, they manage to attract a clientele eager to enjoy cheaper and quieter holidays. On the other hand, they contribute to revitalizing the commercial sector by strengthening their brand image. The vacancy of commercial premises, a worrying phenomenon in certain cities, can be mitigated by this increased focus on reception, which enhances customer footfall and satisfaction.
