Savvy Marketing Tips For Menu Printing Boca Raton Eateries Can Use To Sell

By Brian Gray


Smart business people know that marketing is key. Of course you have to offer a great product or service, but if you don't engage the public, you will never be really successful. For restaurateurs, that includes the food, the price, the service, and the menus. These are all opportunities to market your business in an unobtrusive and subtle way. Experts have marketing suggestions for menu printing Boca Raton restaurant owners should consider.

Unless you own an exclusive, fine dining restaurant already known for its exotic hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and desserts, you need to consider the effect color has when customers are choosing their meals. Brightly colored menus with selections printed in type large enough to be easily read are generally preferable to black and white printed materials with small or script typefaces.

Most customers love to look at pictures of food, especially when they are hungry. Photos will get their attention a lot more readily than drawings of food. Franchise owners may have the corporate office making menu decisions for them, but independent restaurant owners should consider hiring a professional when it comes to photographing dishes for their menus.

You should choose the menu items you have in these photographs carefully, because customers are more likely to order them than those that are simply listed. The selections you offer that are the most profitable can be highlighted or boxed to give them special emphasis. Advertising them as chef's favorites, signature dishes, or special deals is another way to bring them to your customers' attention.

For the right types of restaurants, coupons included in menus can be very effective. When you have some items that are slow moving, giving customers discounts or advertising a dish as the special of the day could get the food stuff out of your kitchen and onto your customers' plates. It may cost a little more, but offering a separate kid's menu, instead of putting kid specials in the adult menus can be a good idea.

Quick meal and take out diners in college towns have thousands of hungry, captive, potential customers. Dropping off menus at dorms, sororities and fraternities, and campus book stores is a great way to advertise your business. Students will pick them up and keep them. Making coupons available and advertising discounts is a good way to get kids into your establishment.

If you aren't a professional graphic designer, trying to create your own menu layouts probably isn't the best idea. You don't have to spend a fortune to hire someone though. Most printing companies employ artists who are experienced in designing all kinds of materials. They should be happy to work with you to come up with an effective and attractive menu.

In order to succeed in business you can't pass up an opportunity to market it. Restaurateurs have more opportunities than those in some other fields. Clever menus that sell are just one of them.
