Target Best In-Market Buyers

Mirror the demographics and geography of your

existing customers when choosing a list.

You can even request neighborhood postal route

maps from your mailing partner to highlight the

streets you want and avoid locations that will

not visit your restaurants(s).

For Example: Use a 3-5 mile

radius around your restaurant(s) of

homes and apartments with children,

and/or income filters.

Use Influential Design & Content

Feature mouthwatering images of the most popular and newest menu items to create a craving only your restaurant can satisfy. In addition, use “Trigger-Word Vocabulary” that is known to induce mental states of thirst and hunger.

Maximize Redemption Rates

Give people a compelling reason to visit your restaurant immediately. Freebies, discount coupons, seasonal menu items and special events entice your customers to take action; while “Scarcity Statements”, like expiration dates encourage them to act quickly.

Make It PersonalUse variable printing to personalize each mail piece with the recipient’s name, your restaurant’s closest location, neighborhood names, etc.

For Example: Your

mailing partner may print

variable neighborhood names

and cross streets that are

associated with the recipient’s

address, like: “Now Serving

Nichols Hills on The Corner of

63rd And Western!”

Branding DetailsAlways include your logo, website, phone number, and location map to make it easy for customers to find you and learn more about your restaurant. Remember, you may print these variables as one “print-run” even when you’re mailing for multiple locations.

Coupon Offers-More Is Better!

Increase average sales transaction value and order frequency by including more offers.

10,000 postcards x 2 offers = 20,000 redeemable

purchases for your customers

10,000 postcards x 8 offers = 80,000 redeemable

purchases for your customers

You pay the same price for 80,000 offers as 20,000 offers, yet significantly increase the number of times a customer will likely visit your restaurant.

Track & Measure Redemption Rates & Sales Revenues

Utilize coupons, PURL’s, website and social media forms, call tracking or other appropriate means to track response rates. Record every redeemed offer on the mail piece with a cash register key that is tied to those incentives making it easy to measure results and determine your ROI.
