How To Combine Different Table Tents Effectively

When advertising things using table tents, it is good to vary your table tents a little and combine different types. There are many types of table tents in your arsenal, and some like table tent cards can be more effective in certain situations more than others. In this article, we will show you the roles of each kind of table tent, and how they matter in the bigger picture of your table tent promotions.

• Table tents: The standard workhorse - First off, we go to the standard table tent. The normal table tent is your workhorse for your restaurant or bar. You can put table tents in any location where you are unsure of what advertising item to put on. This is also usually the first batch of table tents that you should be producing since it is very versatile. Try to put these in tables, booths and the bar. For hotels, motels and inns, you can place them in bedside tables, coffee tables and even the room's dresser.

• Table tent cards: Customizable promotions - Now, we have the table tent cards. Table tent cards are table tents that need a certain base for them to stand on. This can be something like a simple metal hanger where you can place the table tent cards that you want. You can place table tent cards at your popular restaurant tables where a lot of people want to seat. It is advantageous to place them there since you might want to change your table tent message periodically throughout the day so that you can change your marketing angle depending on the customer.

• For example, if you get the business crowd at breakfast and the family crowd at lunch, you can switch your table tent cards easily around "brunch" from single specials to group meals. This should give you a nice dynamic marketing element that should make it easier for you to sell extra things to your customers.

• Theme table tents: For special occasions - Of course, it is also a must to have some special theme table tents ready for special occasions. For example, when valentine's day comes, your "two seater" tables should have a valentine table tent that promotes meals and deals for two. For sports events, you can place theme table tents with a sports theme which advertises group meals (and drink packages). By using these events to your advantage, you can encourage people to spend a little bit more through your special theme table tents.

• Menu tents: For fast or very long turnaround sections - Finally, for the quick eaters or the ones who are just waiting for someone, you can also have a special menu table tent for tables that have quick or very long turnaround times. These are usually your restaurant or bar sections with a stool or on the counter itself. Since people there are usually by themselves wanting a quick bite, or want to spend that long wait, a menu table tent is easy and convenient for them. You do not need to bring a menu to them since they can already use the menu table tent. They can decide on what they want quickly without hassle and order immediately. So try to have this kind of table tent as well along with your other normal types.

So those are the different table tents and how to use them effectively at different areas. Hopefully you have learned a lot from this and you can apply it to your own business. Just mix and match these types of table tents in your establishment and you will be maximizing your chances of extra sales with your table tents. Good luck!
