Our Reputation Is At Steak

I have been working on a promotion for the spring. I will be purchasing gift certificates from a top notch steak house for 1/2 price. {Example a $50.00 gift certificate for $25.00} I will be using this slogan this spring in order to entice my current customers to send me new ones and to get new customers in the door. It will be a SHINE & DINE deal where my slogan will be our Reputation is at steak. Come see how good we really are.
 
I'd have some kind of picture or something.... you want them to get that it's a promotional thing and your not just a bad speller. :D Wouldn't hurt to make it clear.



Gift Certificate to steak house plus = lots of new jobs. People think you can't spell = lots of lost jobs



I'd have a vegetarian option too.... If you tried the steak thing out here in Colorado the entire city of Boulder would boycott you
 
Now that is creative!



So I assume that customers will get these gift certificates after getting their car detailed or spending x amount of dollars?
 
sounds real similar to a deal some of the movie theaters are doing in my area, "food and a flick" where you get a $25 gift card to a restaurant as well as two tickets to a movie (no restriction on what showing times) for $40... seems to work well for them.
 
good marketing idea, steak houses represent mostly men who appreciate the finer things in life. I wouldn't worry to much about the vegetarian slant in your materials but have an alternative ready if somebody says something. Dr Jones, good idea with the picture of the steak. I would explore co-op promotions and advertising with the steak house, you promote them to your customers, they promote your services to their customers. Saturday's are probably their busiest night, I would take a couple fully detailed high-end cars down there to showcase your services and hand out flyers to anyone who is interested. The steak house should be into for a number of reasons.
 
Sounds like a good promotion!



Make sure you let us know how well it turns out. I'm working on getting Tri-Fold flyers made out. The printer isn't open until noon next wednesday because of Mardi Gras so I have a few days so I can design them.
 
Tri-folds sound nice, very professional. IMO smaller is better for a tri-fold, it seems people hold onto things they can fit in their pockets.

mardi gras and you're not down on bourbon street checking out the drunk girls?? :eek: (kidding of course... I would however be there to check out the cool-as-hell musicians who tend to infiltrate street corners...)

I would also be there for the "musicians". ;)
 
Interesting promotional idea. Have you considered doing a cross promotion with the steak house-like give out gift certificates for each other?
 
AutoCare USA,

This is a good idea to be associated with another top notch business. I think a chain uses or did use this promo in our area, I will not mention their name, because they are not even clase to being in your league.
