Less than 2 weeks until this year’s Father Day on Sunday, June 16th. Father's Day will bring more than 50 million Americans into restaurants according to the National Restaurant Association, and it is the third most popular holiday for dining out.
Are you ready to give your restaurant a sales boost? If not, here are some creative ideas to help you promote your restaurant for the Father’s day success.
1) Eating Contest
Build your Father’s Day promotion around a contest because we all know that men love competition. It could be a hot chili or chicken wing eating content. Whatever it is, this will create a fun vibes on Father’s Day and encourage families to come eat at your restaurant.
2) Handmade Card Station
Decorate a handmade card station full with blank papers and crayon where children can make their own cards during their visit at your restaurant.
3) Dads Eat Free
This may sound like a typical promotion but it always works and it will attract families to your restaurant who were on the fence about dining out or where to dine out. If you are offering a free meal to dads and your competitor is not, you are almost guaranteed the traffic.
4) Free Beer for Dads
Besides a competition, dads also love beers. What’s better than a free beer? Dads will surely appreciate a free beer on their special day. Let them choose their favorite one!
5) Lucky Draws
You can hold a giveaway for tickets to a baseball game, a free gift card, a free drink, etc. Holding any sort of giveaway is a great way to get customers in your doors and get them to spend money to get a chance to participate.
