For example in my town there is a coffee stand that does nothing but reach out to their community. They donated basketball carts to the high school, donated gift certificates to various raffles and community events and even have fun events like $1 days where everything is $1 for the entire day. they are just an awesome place and super friendly! if you involved your business more in the community, community members would support you as well. donating certificates to local raffles or drawings brings in new, first-time customers to your place. Support the city schools by helping purchase sports equipment or donate to a specific program in the schools. If your restaurant is a big supporter of the community, everyone will support the restaurant!<br><b>References : </b><br> participating in local events and donating to your communities schools will do the trick! especially if you are located in a small community.

During that time, impress customers with service, value and quality food to keep them coming back. Depend on word-of-mouth to broaden the customer base. Distribute the coupons to area businesses. Hand them out to customers who come in the previous month. Give them two--one for a friend.<br><b>References : </b><br> Distribute coupons for a free appetizer (or other free item) or two-for-one during a month-long period.
