How to get “out of the blue” restaurant marketing ideas?
Anytime you feel stuck and need some inspiration, use the national food holidays marketing method:
National food holidays, when used correctly, can be an effective strategy that engages guests and drives revenue.
The recipe:
– Google national food days
– Ex: November national food days
– Note the events that suit your concept
– Ex: Australian gin week
– Create an exciting range of gin cocktails
– Throw a gin event for that week
– Start promoting 5-6 weeks ahead
– Some events will be highly successful
– And some events won’t be as effective
– Test and find out what works for your business
Mark Khoder says: There are over 3,600 national holidays on the National Day Calendar, with more added yearly. Due to the sheer number of these “holidays”, you’ll need to break through the noise. For example, if the Australian gin week coming up, create a theme, add novelty and new aesthetics to the cocktail culture or take a nostalgic approach.
For example, Empress 1908 Gin is one of the most exciting contributors to cocktail culture; check it out on the Trendhunter website: https://hi.switchy.io/Ab4l
