5 Ideas for Marketing National Burger Month at the Local Level

National Hamburger Day is Wednesday, May 28^th and here are 5 Ideas for Marketing National Burger Month at the Local Level! 1) Find your local niche What is different about the burgers that your restaurant offers? Is it the toppings that you put on your burgers, or is it the way you cook it? Finding your niche will make your restaurant stand out. A good example of this is the Doughnut Burger offered at Rub BBQ in New York. 2) Your promotions Specials are a huge part of National Hamburger Day and getting customers to come in your restaurant. Inviting the community to celebrate the day is all about the deal you offer. This could be on your most popular, your newest, or even your craziest burger! Bella’s Burger Shack in New Jersey offers customers the option to double their burger size for just a dollar this year for National Hamburger Day. 3) Media Outlets TV, radio, and print publications are all fair game to get local press for this day. TV is by far the most rewarding for your restaurant. Barbecue segments are perfect to display not only how to cook your burger for National Hamburger Day, but how to best prepare them for your family and friends with awesome toppings. Check out the only way to load up your burger with bacon, the Checkers* Baconzilla® way! 4) Latest Burger Toppings Offering the latest and greatest toppings for your restaurant’s burgers can also get customers in the door. Two of the latest burger toppings are slices of avocado and adding a fried egg to add different flavors to delicious burger patties. Rockit Burger Bar in Chicago offers three different burgers with fried egg as a topping and you can add fresh avocado slices for just a dollar. What a combination! 5) Make it fun National Burger Day falls right at the beginning of the spring and summer months, making it a perfect time to kick start your business for the busiest time of the year. By having a fun atmosphere for your customers and making it a memorable for all of those who indulge in your burgers will help you get repeat customers for the summer! These are all great ideas to kick off the summer grilling season and celebrate National Burger Month and Day in your local markets. So fire up the grills, set the table and get going! It is Memorial Day after all!
