Restaurant Owners: Generate Extra Revenues in Your Eatery by Adding Vintage Food Signs to the Menu
Restaurant owners are finding that by adding a little extra something on the menu, they are driving extra deposits to the bank. Customers are responding favorably to vintage food signs on the menu and are taking home more than just their doggie bags.
(PRWEB) February 1, 2005 -- If you knew that adding cheesecake to your
dessert menu would produce a few thousand dollars in revenue every month, you
would likely add it on, wouldn't you? Well, these desserts will go with any menu
options you serve and will add a warm, nostalgic touch to your restaurant, as
well. Vintage metal signs are hot collectibles and any restaurant can take
advantage of the increasing demand for these nostalgic signs in today's
market.
Vintage metal signs are fast becoming staples in America's homes
and their popularity is soaring. Food and beverage signs may begin as purposeful
wall decor in restaurants, but for their customers, they make extraordinarily
unique kitchen and home theater decor. Customers are also crazy about branded
keepsakes from their favorite restaurants, so you should look into your
customizing and logo options.
The best part about selling these
collectible signs in your restaurant is that they literally sell themselves. You
do not need to have a gift shop or display case to show them off. Customers can
learn about their prices and history in the waiting lobby and view the entire
collection over dinner. You can display them on your dining room walls as you
would any other appropriate decor and every customer can see them without ever
having to interrupt their dinner. Your staff will need to do very little to push
these signs, except to add them to their table's check and bag 'em up with the
leftovers.
No matter the theme of your cuisine, you should be able to
find a manufacturer that produces a suitable line. Remember that quality is very
important. One company we have found that produces exceptional signage is
Vintage Metal Art at http://www.vintagemetalart.com. They have an extensive line of
food art from seafood and pizza to steaks and ice cream signs. There is a link
on their web site that you can use to send a suggestion if you don't find the
theme you are looking for, and they claim that they will design and add that
product as soon as possible. How's that for service?
The three things you
should be looking for before purchasing your new stock are 1) Quality 2) Theme
suitability to your establishment and 3) Cost. Your cost should be no higher
than 50% of what you are going to retail the sign for. Vintage art signs retail
anywhere from $28 - $42, usually depending on the size and amount of colors used
in the sign. If you know that you can make 100% profit on each sign, then you
are on the right track.
With profits like these, you have nothing to
lose. Start small and see how your customers take to the new novelties and
expand from there. New additions over time give your customers something to look
forward to on each visit and they will appreciate your company's
continuity.
