Prepare Your Restaurant for the Holiday Rush
The holiday season is around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to make the most of the festivities with creative marketing and promotions! As a point-of-sale provider, we know how essential it is for you to capture the holiday spirit to attract customers, drive sales, and build loyalty. This month, we're sharing some effective strategies to help you get your restaurant ready for the holiday hustle.
Top Holiday Marketing Tips
Deck the Halls with Holiday Decor
Draw customers in with a festive ambiance! A beautifully decorated restaurant makes customers feel the holiday spirit. Update your POS system with seasonal-themed loyalty cards, gift cards, and other holiday-inspired designs to spread cheer.
Launch Holiday-Exclusive Menu Items
Special holiday dishes or limited-time drinks bring excitement. Consider offering holiday cocktails, winter flavors, or unique desserts. Don’t forget to promote them through your social media and in-store displays.
Offer Gift Card Promotions
Gift cards are a holiday favorite and encourage repeat visits. For example, offer a $5 bonus gift card for every $25 spent on gift cards.
Create Festive Promotions and Deals
A countdown to Christmas or “12 Days of Deals” keeps customers coming back. Use your software to track redemptions and limit deals to specific days for added excitement.
Engage with Your Community on Social Media
Encourage customers to share their holiday meals with hashtags and tag your restaurant. You could even hold a photo contest with a festive giveaway! Share behind-the-scenes shots of your team preparing for the holidays to add a personal touch.
