Tip Of The Day

"When I was catering, we often would package up a meal for 10-15 people and drop it off a local law firm, real estate office, etc to 'introduce' ourselves. As a result, when they need catering we were in the door... most of the time. Also, on Secretarys' day ("Administrative Assistants' day") we would blanket our current customers and potential customers with something special for the Secretarys... like a little choclate cake or chocolate covered strawberries, etc. This isn't earth-shattering marketing, but it was effective and really didn't cost nearly as much as print or radio advertising."

How to get Patrons to Order More from Samples

Here's a good tip. When you have a group of people at your restaurant on one table, take out your best finger food dish and give some free samples while they are waiting for the main dish. This will work only if the samples are good. The trick is, just give enough samples for half of the group.
