Press Release Body: The food service industry is usually a fast paced and often
precarious one. Advertising is critical in a restaurant and there are many ways to
use a button maker machine in this industry. When the advertising budget is tight, a
button-making machine will expand those precious dollars. Buttons can be used for a
myriad of purposes such as advertising specials and for identification of wait
staff. Whether you serve a five star cuisine or mom and pop specialties, a buttons
can help lower your overhead and raise profits.

Every restaurant has a line of specials that they serve. Servers may suggest the
special, or describe it, but a button can really show it. People are stimulated by
what they see - hence all the pictures in menus. It would just make sense to have an
appetizing photograph of your daily special or weekly special on a button to attract
attention. The server might suggest the special while pointing to the button "As you
can see, today for our special we have a delicious pot roast with mixed vegetables".


Buttons and badges are a really inexpensive way of advertising your specials and
increasing your sales. Buttons can also be used to advertise the next night's
special to tantalize your guests to return. Want to increase the dessert sales?
Nothing makes the mouth crave cool creamy ice cream more than a photograph of a hot
fudge Sunday or a malted milkshake - words just cannot describe those types of
images well enough. These buttons can be made and handed out to the staff each day
or each week of the special and then returned. Buttons are small enough to store
easily, reusable, durable, and still large enough to make the mouth water when
covered with pictures of your luscious entrées.

Do you have a unique or unusual theme to your restaurant? Sell souvenir buttons with
your restaurant logo. If you are in a travel location, such as along an interstate,
buttons with the state information and name on it are also great souvenirs. These
buttons can be sold for as little as a dollar and still generate a handsome profit.
"I always eat at Joe's Bar and Grill" or "World's Greatest Bar-be-Queue" over a
picture of your restaurant would be a simple button to make and could also be sold
as a souvenir. Do you have a signature dish or a super large portion? For that guest
who accomplishes the clean plate give them a button. For example, "Survivor" stamped
over a picture of a porterhouse steak with your restaurant's name at the bottom
would certainly get people's attention.

Making up buttons with your logo and address on them are great for sponsored events
as well. Does your restaurant support a local youth sports team? Making up buttons
to let people know who you sponsor and to give out to the team players is a great
way to get the word out that you are involved in the community. Staff members can
wear these buttons in the restaurant to let guests know that your establishment
inspires youth activities. These buttons can also be made with the team's final
placement or the word "Champions" over your restaurant's logo. This is a keepsake
for the team members and a way of getting your logo and name out in the public.

Would you like to reward your frequent repeat customers? A button that reads "Thank
You for Your Business" can be a great way to say thanks and will get the word
outside the restaurant that you appreciate your guests. These can also have a
discount on them. If you have regulars who visit often, give them a button for five
or ten percent off their next meal. These buttons can be returned at the time of the
purchase, just like a coupon, and saved for the next customer you want to reward.
This is an inexpensive way to promote your establishment at openings as well. Pass
these buttons out to new customers to draw them back in, and maybe even their
friends.

Use buttons as nametags for employees. These can be customized with the restaurants
logo and address or if you are a less formal establishment, have the servers and
staff design their own buttons - within reason of course. Buttons are also large
enough to include years of service. Rewards for staff can also be made out of
buttons. The employee of the month or week can wear a button saying "Employee of the
Month" or "This week's Star Performer".

Buttons for special meals or special employees are an inexpensive addition to your
establishment. These buttons can help increase sales, generate more revenue,
advertise inside and outside the restaurant and reward your frequent guests. No
restaurant should be without one of these money saving devices.
