Ad on restaurant menu

by lifeagent911 » Wed Mar 18, 2009 07:07 pm

I was talking to the guy that owes Full Moon Pizza near my house. He told me that he is going to change his menu soon and was looking for local business sponsors to help pay for the cheap looking menu. These are the ones that can take home with you or they are place mats to place your food on.

He does not know how many other businesses will want to do this and could not give me a price right now.

If this is cheap, I might do it. He said he would not charge much at all. Just wants to cover his expenses.

But it got me to thinking about the concept and if I should try it.

Eat time I eat there; I look at the menu and even take them home with me to do to go orders.

I guess the price matters a lot also. I mean if the guy wants 50 bucks then I’m going to try it. These are the cheap looking menu. I might be able to even offer to run them off on my own copy machine for him, if he allows me to place my ad on them.

Have any of you tried this idea or do any of you think it might work?

I would really want to know the identities of the other advertisers. For example, if my name was going to be next to the local strip club, etc. Obviously this is a bit of an extreme example, but you get the point.

Part of me wouldn't want to put my information on a cheaply made menu, simply because I want to uphold a professional image. I don't know...I have mixed feelings...anyone else?

I think it is a great Idea!! I would do it also. but I agree with chris, try to find out who else will be appearing on the menu. great point.
But exposure is exposure and it might not be a bad idea to include your picture. maybe in a suit. this will help you keep that professional image as stated above. I think I will look around my community to see about doing that. I mean, how many insurance people are doing it. probably just a hand full accross the country

Another thing that I see a lot of agents do is sponsor a little league team or field. Depending on your area, it may be expensive to sponsor an entire team...but you can also purchase advertising that will be used at the ballfield. Include your information, but also use some type of catch line that will generate interest. Just off the top of my head, it could read something like Is your Family Protected? or Keep Your Family Safe...
