Take a stand against the wind and see a movie (March 11, 2009)
Posted by Reel Mountain Theater on Tuesday, October 27, 2009
"WOW, you guys must love the increase of business this year, huh?"
I've heard that comment now, no less than a dozen times over the last week. Seems these folks read the same Denver paper I do on Sundays. Last week the Sunday Denver Post reported that movie theaters were up nationally 17.5% for the same period last year. With interest I read this because it is always funny to hear what people say about you or your business, when you're really the only one that knows... Movies provide a relatively inexpensive escape from what ails you, or as the story related: 'a comfortable dark corner to withdraw into', in the face of the economical challenges of today's society.
I'll agree that it's fun to retreat into a movie. I can't say we're up almost 20%, but we do count ourselves fortunate to have a business that hasn't closed, and we enjoy the predictable challenge of being self employed. Along those lines- if you have comments about the theater, we're the ones to listen to and take action on your suggestions. This week, we're at the front end of a project that will reshape the face of Reel Mountain. Remember when the bathrooms rocketed into coolness from their state of normal? If you witnessed the transformation, you'll know what I mean. Watch for something new, and send in your ideas if there's something you've been meaning to mention about the way the lobby looks or functions.
Customer comments are responsible for a couple of changes on this newsletter: clickable links for the theater website and emails, and a regular schedule of sending the newsletter to you (Wednesday morning between 7 and 8am). Keep 'em coming.
