Host an Anti-Valentine’s Day Event at Your Bar

valentine

Some people are not big fans of Valentine’s Day, and who can blame them. If you don’t have someone special in your life, the day can seem like torture. You see everyone at work getting flowers or talking about their special plans for the evening. Everyone seems to be holding hands and happy, smiling because they are blissfully in love. However, there is a large segment of the population that just doesn’t “get” Valentine’s Day. They generally stay inside on February 14th, and the last place they want to go is to a restaurant or a bar that is full of couples in love.

Sounds depressing, but this can be a very good opportunity for you as a bar owner. Instead of having a Valentine’s Day celebration at your place, consider having an anti-Valentine’s Day party that pokes fun at the holiday.

You can have a lot of fun with this idea. Consider holding a competition where people are allowed to get up and tell their worst ex story. Give the winners a free glass of beer to drown their sorrows and a free t-shirt with your bar logo on it to wipe up their tears! It is a fun time, and the t-shirts can act as free promotion whenever someone wears it. In addition to having your logo on the shirt, consider adding something like “I Survived another Valentine’s Day”. (more…)

How to Make Your Restaurant Stand Out

restaurant dancingHaving your own restaurant can be a very lucrative but tough business. The following tips will give you some ideas on how to get that extra edge over your competition:

Offer Live Music

Why not hire a band and let your customers enjoy some live music? If you have live music, more customers will be enticed to visit your restaurant. Eating in a rather plain restaurant without any entertainment at all can make your dining experience dull and boring. Regardless of the genre of music played by the band you will hire, live music will surely be one of your aces over your competitors. Don’t forget to let your diners know that the band accepts special requests. This is a great bonus for people celebrating anniversaries and birthdays.

Leave Some Empty Space for Dancing

Have you ever imagined operating a restaurant where you can leave an empty place for dancing? Combine this with a live band or a juke box and you will ensure your customers have a night to remember. (more…)

Doorknob Hangers and Flyers Still Work for Bar and Restaurant Promotion

busy restaurant

For many years, one of the tried and true methods of getting people to come into a restaurant or a bar for the first time was through handouts. The flyers that get stuffed under windshields and the doorknob hangers that you put on the doors in the neighborhood were once a good way of getting the word out about your place. Do they still work in the digital age?

You might be surprised, but they do still offer some great benefits. One of the nice things about flyers and door hangers is that they are very cheap to produce. The door hangers are going to be a bit more expensive than the flyers are in most cases, but when you order them in bulk the price is well worth it. They are much cheaper than many other types of advertising out there today.

You need to make sure that you have a high quality flyer and hanger though, and you need to make sure that it has all of the pertinent information. It needs to have the establishment’s name, address, phone number, and website. It should also have some type of call to action that makes the customer want to use it.
