ONE 30 TABLE RESTAURANT GENERATED $862,000 IN EXTRA SALES DURING THIS TIME

BIRTHDAYS 4 BUSINESS MAILERS HAVE PROVEN TO BE RECESSION PROOF!

Back in 2008 when the stock market crashed and many restaurants were closing, our Birthdays 4 Business Birthday mailers helped keep many restaurants solvent while many others were closing 

One Casual/Fine Dining 30 table restaurant in particular called Jerry’s Old Town Inn generated $862,000 in extra sales from our Birthday mailers’ first visit alone. This was generated from OUR birthday data base, which includes Birthdays from New Movers into the area. 

Our unique tracking showed that most of their responses were “non-regulars”. This verifies the sales were mostly “additional” spending they would not have had “without” the mailers. As an additional profit value, the restaurant had the opportunity to turn many of these New Faces into New Regulars. The “Regulars” that received the mailer were rewarded for their patronage all year long. Consumers LOVE receiving tangible birthday cards and gifts! If you send different ones out to different birthday prospects each month, your business will continue to thrive incrementally.
