Comment on Are We Turning Restaurants Into Department Stores? by Wang Gang

If opening a new restaurant, it makes sense to include mass couponing into the mix as part of the marketing. Urbanbacon is right in just getting your specials out there instead of paying print or other media. Ultimately, TV wins the day, and cable is a great cheap medium, but still costs. If you are an established joint, NEVER use a mass coupon, it only kills the bottom line folks. Getting to the ‘generation jones’ is tough – the 55-70 year old crowd, so print still works, but to the younger college set – internet baby!

Thanks for stopping by Ellen!

It’s true…once we expect discounts, the thought of paying full price becomes ridiculous. While I don’t believe our expectations have yet shifted with restaurants, they definitely have with department stores like Bloomingdale’s.

What do you think? Is this path dangerous or will people still pay full price?

halle-fing-lujah someone else is getting on this warpath!!! I call this The Bloomingdale’s Syndrome because even if I don’t have a coupon at Bloomingdale’s, I get them to give me all the discounts available or I walk out of the store empty-handed.

Great article on Fast Eddies. Restaurant/hospitality owners forget that “the experience IS the marketing.”

I entirely delight in brewing beer at home! It has been such a neat hobby. My family has been behind me, but most especially while its time to try my latest venture. I was surprised to learn that it is actually the deep hoppy brews that I prefer. Just wanted to say thank you for the info you’ve provided along the way, its been helpful.

Staci,

Thanks for the help! Bacon Bits isn’t shabby, but one word might be better. How do you feel about “Supporters?” The follow button will read “Support this Restaurant” – Thoughts?
