    Online booking system

    I can give you plenty of examples of horrible data breaches in EU companies. Nobody can assure that there will be no breaches ever, and it doesn't matter if it's non-EU or EU company. I'm just saying, that business owners should consider all of their options, when choosing software, talk to...

    The only companies, that are ignoring GDPR are the once that don't have anything to do with Europe and don't have European clients. All the others have to be compliant.

    Online booking system

    The data can't be taken out of EU jurisdiction, there are totally different principles! If a company has clients in the EU, it has to be GDPR compliant, that's the law. Before saying anything about not-EU companies, and judging GDPR compliance, it's better to first read about it and how it works.

    Are discount sites like Treatwell ruining our business?

    I hate those services, they make businesses compete not by the quality of their services or the customer experience they provide, but compete only by the price. The best way to build your own brand, your own audience.

    Training staff in retail

    You can give them the 10% from product sales; To this set monthly goals, and those who meet them get special reward. But I think you should first teach them how to sell, and only them use the financial encouragement. If you use enough jokes during your lessons, you won't scare them ;)

    Website recommendations

    You can either find a new tech person that can help you, but that really depends on your budget, or there are a lot of free or relatively cheap website builders to build your own modern website, for example Quards. Most of them don't even require much of tech skills from you.

    What sort of direct marketing do people carry out here?

    It all works actually! You just need to know what channels your potential clients prefer. I always recommend to pay more attention to Instagram, it is a very powerful tool to reach directly your customers. Also you can cooperate with Instagram influencers, and get more attention to your place.
