We are testing Twitter

One of the most common questions asked is "what times/days do you call?
The answer is difficult because we serve so many customers at corporate days, birthday and wedding parties along with community and sports events

The old traditional ice cream round has (like everything does) changed. 20 years ago there were an estimated 40,000 ice cream vans on Britains streets, the latest estimate is 5000

The reasons are varied, it is mainly a seasonal job with long hours in the summer and very little in the winter. Add to that the growth in freezers, supermarkets selling similar products for less than we can buy wholesale. Also many parents now view an ice cream as a treat once or twice a week, they do not always appreciate the ice cream van twice a day outside their door, especially if they have two or three children and all the other financial pressures

So we have to move with the times to survive, adapt or become extinct. Modern kids have smartphones, they can facebook, text and tweet, at their request, we are trialing Twitter so we can try and give a more accurate picture of where and when we are in the area, personally I can't see a downside at the moment

So out twitter name is:  #cheshirewhippy
