Restaurant Marketing Ideas for October

Restaurant Marketing Ideas for October

Coming up with fresh restaurant marketing ideas can sometimes be difficult for restaurant owners and operators.  Fortunately, October lays out a tasty selection of food focused days that offer up the right ingredients to help build your restaurant’s marketing menu.

As October is National Pizza Month, pizza deals and promotions are a natural fit.  It also gives you the opportunity to show off your creative side.  For example, Chicago’s Tesori is celebrating the month with a new pizza every day.  Selections include a Grilled Corn pizza, an Apple Pie pizza, a Roasted Brussels Sprouts pizza and, for Halloween, a Pumpkin pizza with guanciale and pecans and much more.

National Chili Month shares the spotlight with pizza in October.  Spicy, chunky, with or without beans . . . there’s nothing like a nice, hearty bowl of chili to warm your guests down to their toes.  For something new and exciting, check out these chili recipes.

For beverage marketing, October offers Liqueur Day, Frappe Day and Vodka Day.

Other food related days include Chicken Cacciatore Day, Egg Day, Fried Scallops Day, Greasy Food Day, Gumbo Day, Pasta Day, Seafood Bisque Day, Taco Day, Vegetarian Day, Wild Food Day and more.

Restaurants looking to sweeten things up a bit can look forward to Angel Food Cake Day, Apple Betty Day, Boston Cream Pie Day, Brandied Fruit Day, Caramel Apple Day, Caramel Custard Day, Chocolate Cupcake Day, Chocolate Day, Dessert Day and Pumpkin Cheesecake Day.

Special days for the month include Boss’ Day, Mother-In-Law Day and Navy Day.  If you really want to think outside the box, imagine the fun that can be had with Mad Hatter Day, Bald and Free Day, Howl At The Moon Day and, of course, Halloween.

And don’t forget: as the weather chills and the leaves fall from the trees, there will also be opportunities to set up tasting booths at local fall festivals.
