Default Making the most of the good Weather as a business

On day's like today I am reminded of how many businesses can use good weather to advantage.

My first paying Saturday job was at the local Petrol filling station / Second hand car dealers.

Between fuelling cars (this was unusual as a petrol station in the 1980's, but the tips where good), on a day like today I had to put the price up of the cars on the forecourt by £100 first thing.

Why ?

People are happy spending more money when they are happy !

This either meant that they paid more - or that the guy selling the cars could give an additional £100 discount without even thinking about it - so both the customer and the seller where happy.

So the weather does make a difference in my view - what ever line of business you are in.

But as I posted this on a Sunday - get outside and make the most of it - you know you deserve it !
