Thinking outside of the box with scratch card promotions

If you run a restaurant have you ever considered scratch cards instead of mints

?

Probably not, but you will have run a variety of deals to bring people through the doors during your less busy periods such as.

- 2 meals for 10 Monday to Friday.

- Free Starter or Dessert with every main course Monday to Thursday

- Free bottle of wine when two main meals are purchased

- Fish Chips, peas and a bottle of beer for 5.95

Whatever your ideas are, people will only see them if they are passing your restaurant when they are hungry. Why not promote them with scratch cards? Hand them out to customers as they leave to encourage them to return another day with an exclusive offer? They can also give them to friends to encourage them to visit.

Scratch cards cost around twice the price of standard business cards, but offers often can make them much cheaper.You can find a fewscratch card top tips here
