EVERYDAY’S A HOLIDAY NO DAY CAN ESCAPE A HOLIDAY.
Between online sites Foodimentary and The National Day Calendar, which lists more than 1,550 registered holidays, there’s always cause for celebration. Most are manufactured by a commodity board, company or organization, but does it matter as long as it provides a marketing opportunity?
A holiday can be a strategic way to attract new diners and keep regulars engaged. With the help of social media to get the word out, such celebrations can increase traffic and boost sales by tailoring drinks and menu items around them. Just remember to align all efforts with your brand. Some of the noteworthy:
