To Gobble or Not to Gobble!

In just TWO days families all over will ruin their Thanksgiving dinner!  Well OK! Not every family, but what a great way to bring in some last minute cash!  Putting a catering order in takes time, we know this!  Think about how great it would be if you had ‘Ready-To-Go’ meals for the ones that burn their turkey, or for the ones whose dog ate the mashed potatoes! If you are open Thanksgiving Day you will most likely be serving dinner with all the fixings.  Package some aside so your customers can call and you can save the day!

We all know how Black Friday can be.  Ever think about opening early that day to have an ‘Extra Early Bird’ special for all those shoppers? Why not?! Offer coffee and breakfast for those ready to run rapid to get their holiday shopping started.  You can even get them in the door two days in a row by having a special ‘Small Business Saturday’ deal that only your Black Friday Customers are able to get. It may be a little too late to get your Marketing Material from American Express for Small Business Saturday BUT never worry! Your personal marketing team here at Ordereze is ready to help! Let us know if you need help with some ideas for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. You even still have time to have last minute Thanksgiving material made!

BUT WAIT! How can you forgot about Cyber Monday?!  Offering a special promotion for those of your customers who place their order online is a fabulous way to bring in some extra dough.  People get tired of leftovers pretty quickly, offering a special code to enter when placing their dinner order that evening may be a great way to get a surplus of take-out meals that day.

Enjoy your weekend, but don’t get too comfortable! The December Holidays are just weeks away. The more we help, the merrier it gets! Reach out today for Marketing Assistance!
