Monday, May 18, 2015 12:00:00 AM America/Los_Angeles

 

How Much Signage is Too Much?One of the most important aspects of effective marketing is balance. Highly effective marketing campaigns strike a balance between being too focused and frequent, and being so infrequent that prospective customers fail to notice.

Signage, Direct Mail and Brochures For a Consistent MessageHow consistent is your marketing message? While many businesses, both big and small, use a variety of different marketing channels to target customers, few use a message that’s consistent from direct mail and brochures to retail signage.

One of the best ways to increase the amount of revenue your restaurant generates per customer is to include a variety of different marketing materials on each table, giving each customer a great range of dishes and dining options to choose from.

Instead of expanding your reach or investing in more signage, one of the best ways to get more bang for your buck from your retail signage is to make it easier for the people that already see it to read.

5 Tips for Designing a More Effective Menu for Your Restaurant or Café

Friday, April 17, 2015 12:00:00 AM America/Los_Angeles

 

Effective Menu for Your Restaurant or CaféYour restaurant’s menu can drive sales, clearly communicate your brand and give customers an idea of which dish will give them the best experience. Despite these important characteristics, menu design is an oft overlooked aspect of restaurants.

Many restaurants owners stick to a basic menu design, listing appetizers, mains and optional extras such as drinks and desserts on a plain sheet of paper using a simple typeface and little or no extra design elements.

While a simple menu has its own range of benefits, it’s often far more effective for a restaurant or café to use a menu that’s designed from the ground up to lead people towards top-selling dishes, entrees, drinks, desserts and other items.
