Summer is finally here, and restaurant owners and operators are gearing up to help family and friends savor the season. Independence Day will see party and picnic deals, of course, but the month of July offers many more restaurant marketing opportunities.
For food releated marketing, July is National Blueberries Month, National Grilling Month, National Horseradish Month, National Hot Dog Month and National Ice Cream Month.
Beyond food, July is also National Cell Phone Courtesy Month, National Make a Difference to Children Month and National Recreation and Parks Month.
Culinarians and junk food junkies will be pleased to know there are days set aside just for them. In addition, restaurateurs have a wide selection of special food days to choose from for menu marketing: barbecued spareribs, beans, caviar, cheesecake, chili dogs, corn fritters, fried chicken, gummi worms, hot dogs, ice cream, lasagna, lollipops, macaroni, milk chocolate, peach ice cream, pecan pie, raspberry cake, strawberry sundae, sugar cookies, tapioca pudding and vanilla ice cream.
Fast food operators even have a special day to look forward to with Drive-Thru Day.
Other days of the month lend themselves to unique and even silly opportunites for in-store and social media promotions. Music lovers have National Country Music Day and Barbershop Music Appreciation Day to look forward to. Social media savvy operators might run photo contests for National Hillbilly Day, Parent’s Day, Teddy Bear Picnic Day and Bikini Day. And who wouldn’t want to pucker up for a discount on International Kissing Day?
