Restaurants – Print The Perfect Menu

Restaurants – Print The Perfect Menu

Menus are very important for restaurants; in a way they are THE sales card.

Think of it this way – Menus are the only printed advertisement that EVERY SINGLE customer comes across. That’s why a menu should be informative, attractive, and at the same time it should represent the real atmosphere of the restaurant.

Recent studies revealed that the average time spend by customers in reading menu is just 190 seconds. So, a good menu should be comprehensive and present everything in nutshell.

Check out these 8 Essential Restaurant Menu Design Tips!

While designing and printing menus, here are a few pointers:

  • Texts should be on a plain background to enhance readability.
  • Items should be divided into categories and subcategories for easy navigation.
  • Font size should be large enough for easy reading by senior citizens.
  • Costly items and cheap items should be mixed into the menu
  • Always keep the poorly sold items next to the fast-moving ones.
  • Add clear images to depict each item clearly.

At Applied Image Group, we serve a number of well-known Restaurant chains and we have experience designing, printing, folding, preparing and shipping Menu items. This is one product you never want to run out of, because then what will your customers order from?

How To Integrate Traditional Printing With Digital Marketing

How to Integrate Traditional Printing with Digital Marketing

We’ve all embraced digital marketing – it brings in new leads and often converts to sales. In today’s world, companies need to apply the latest digital techniques to their marketing strategies.

However, throwing away the idea of traditional printing is not recommended. Integrating both printing and digital methods are needed to get new leads, grow your brand and get sales.

Here’s a list of 8 engaging Print Media Ideas!

And to go a step further, here are a few ways you can integrate Print marketing with Digital marketing efforts:

  1. Combining Social Platforms with Traditional Printing

You’ve set up all your social media pages that will help your business like Google My Business, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn etc. Don’t stop there!

Start your traditional printing campaign and add the social icons where they can be noticed easily. Print media can include business cards, postcards, brochures, banners, signs as well as promotional items like t-shirts, hats, mugs, pens and more. The list can be limitless. By allowing a potential customer to view your company beyond the printed material will allow for additional knowledge and increase awareness of your brand.

PS – did you know we offer custom promotional products as well?

  1. Combining Email and Direct Mail

Direct mail is the traditional way of mailing flyers and postcards directly to a targeted audience or an entire location. Whereas Email marketing is a form of digital marketing whereas a sale or offer is emailed directly to an individual’s email address.

With baby boomers living much longer, they may prefer the traditional direct mail, whereas the younger may prefer to view online emails and offers. Depending on your target audience, you can choose one or the other; however, combining both is a powerful way to market your brand!

  1. Referrals

Word of mouth incentives are gaining popularity. Offering an incentive-based program like a referral program can bring in new leads & potential customers!

What better incentive to offer your existing clients than a promotional item or gift card? You can advertise your brand and use the printed materials to promote the incentive program!

Don’t let traditional printing slip through your fingers! By integrating both traditional printing with digital marketing, you can capture the best of both worlds.
