Restaurant Promotion Ideas for April 2014

April Fool's Day is the best day to do crazy restaurant promotions or some harmless prank on your customers. This will give them a reason to laugh which in turn will make them remember your restaurant. If they put it on facebook or tweet about it, then others will remember your restaurant too. One such prank was the Burger King’s Left Handed Whooper. In 1998 Burger King advertised that they have created a “left-handed” Whopper for left handed people. They claim that the ingredients was placed in such a way that left handed people will enjoy it better. The sandwich joke was incredibly popular, especially once people began requesting left- or right-handed Whoppers. To know more about this prank, just click here April Fol Pranks. 

Other than Christmas, Easter Day is another popular Christian Festival that is highly commercialized. Have an Easter Day Brunch especially if you are in the vicinity of a church. So as families can drop by after the Easter Day Mass. Hold an Easter Day Egg Hunt, one for the kids and one more lately in the evening for the adults. Purchase some egg shaped plastic containers; put vouchers for prizes in them. Seal them tightly and place them at a counter. For every paying customer they get to choose an egg and redeem their prize at the counter. Another way is to purchase one of the inflatable swimming pools, buy a pump and float the eggs in the pool. Make sure they are water proof. Switch on the pump so as the water will move in a circle, thus moving the eggs round and round the pool. Give each paying customer a net to catch their egg and see what prize they have won. It’s an Egg Hunt with a difference.

Another event that you can capitalize on is the Tax Day. Almost every country in the world has a dateline for submitting tax returns. It’s normally a stressful time for some, so take advantage of this situation by give Tax Day Discounts for lunch and dinner a week before Tax Day and a week after. Offer something that is fun and take out some of the stress from tax season.
