Produce a Winning Ad for Your Restaurant

Posted on May 4, 2010 by lelychayankabie13

Advertising is a way of life. Every business needs to promote itself. But because our media is saturated with ads, it can be difficult to produce something which works. If you run a restaurant you want customers through the door every time you open. So what are the essential ingredients which help you produce those winning ads?

* One theme
* Tell them what you can offer them – in detail.
* Specials
* Details

If you try and be something to everyone you will lose your message in the busy detail. Select one theme or one idea about your restaurant and promote that angle. Let’s say it’s seafood or family dining or a romantic setting or whatever. Push your unique slant and that is the image which will stick with your potential customers.

If you want to grab attention, having a special is a winning idea. If you are offering something for nothing, the word ‘free’ is like a magnet to most readers or listeners. It could be two meals for the price of one or a free first drink. Specials are tools which pay dividends.

If your ad doesn’t have your easy to find details you have wasted your money. Let’s say you run an ad in your local paper. You include a photo of your restaurant and use enticing descriptions of your fabulous food. Wow, that all looks good so how do I book? Make sure your details are easy to find. And a phone number is essential.

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but don’t be afraid to study the ads of restaurants which draw many diners. What are they doing that makes them so successful? If it works for them, it can work for you.

A Proven, Time Tested Way of Promoting Your Business

Posted on March 21, 2010 by lelychayankabie13

The nature of money has changed a lot over the years, from grain to gold to notes of credit to dollar bills. But while the content of the transaction has changed, the art of business promotion has remained largely the same.

Business promotion is one of the most fiercely innovative and competitive parts of any modern market. It consists of any act that brings consumers from the general marketplace to your specific place of business; the more relevant (or ‘targeted’) the customer, the better for your business.

And the good thing is it has more to do with the power of your copy, message and offer than anything else, which means even the small guys can compete against the larger players.

One method of promoting your business is through the use of flyers. A flyer is usually a one-page advertisement, but done well, it can drive targeted customers through your doors with startling cost efficiency. Here are some tips for starting a flyer campaign:

* Flyers placed on or near front doors get more attention.
* If you can, target your audience, either geographically or by income level.
* Trade shows, open houses, conferences, and other business-oriented gatherings are great places for flyers, as they automatically target only the relevant folks.
* If you make a flyer with a tearaway section, bulletin boards work very well, too.
* If you can work with a related but non-competing business to have your flyers handed out alongside their products, you can reach a wide variety of ‘warm’ targets.
* Put coupons for your product or service in your flyers to get targets’ attention.

If you can do all of these, you can maximize the effects of your flyer campaign. All you need are some flyers with strong sales copy and someone to print them in bulk, and you’re in business — quite literally.
