Personal run buisness like sports massage buisnesses are paying rent to the council to hold their buisnesses within the leisure centre and the clienttel are paying for the services within their memebership prices. (Getting more for their money)
This is a positive for the individual buisnesses as it is easy money, but for private run buisnesses like Aquasauna this is a threat to their buisness and profit.
Graph to show the seasonal profit for the year 2010
According to this graph the peak of sales are throughout the summer season and winter period . This could be due to seasonal offers that Aquasauna have to offer around these dats, Christams packages and Two for one offers . Around the January mark aquasaunas profit margin falls dramatically , this could be due to Gym Memberships inclining for the new year in the council run leisure centres.
Relating to council run facilities taking income from the private sector links with my comments on DCL, even though DCL are linked with the council I can see your point of view as we now are being undercut by budget facilities. Private facilities are being hit massively buy the current economic status and in time I feel companies such as DCL will also start to feel the effects of being undercut.
ReplyDeletethis is a good statement amie, the graph explains it well. although you have put this down as a weekness i am in two minds as to wether it is. i see what you are saying about it being more expensive but having been there myself i thought it was brilliant for the money i paid. i thought the package was brilliant and just what i wanted. i do not think anything council run could compare. x
