CRC is cutting it

When we first started hearing about the new trend of so called ‘pay what you think’ restaurants and bars, most people seemed to think it was a recipe for ruin. Brits are renowned for being tight so will always pay the bare minimum right?

Turns out this is not the case. In fact, the pay what you like business model has been rolled out successfully in a variety of industries. Look at Radiohead for example. The band decided to hand fans the power to pay whatever they wanted for their album, In Rainbows, and they ended up making a pretty penny.

Last week, award winning salon Cutting Room Creative in Leeds city centre launched its ‘Pay What You Think It’s Worth’ promotion. They are so confident in their service and the talents of their stylists that they have decided to put this to the ultimate test and let customers decide how much their CRC experience is worth.

Whilst this is a rather bold move for the local business, in an industry that thrives on people skills and great customer relations the ‘Pay What You Think It’s Worth’ promotion will hopefully see people digging deep for their CRC service.

Half way into the promotion and the campaign is exceeding expectations; with the majority of clients, old and new, paying on the nose and many generous souls paying even more. Is this the reaction you would have predicted?
