Another idea is to look at all the disposable
products that you will be providing with your food products, items such as paper
napkins, disposable cups and containers can all be sign written with your logo
and business name. I know what you're thinking, people will only throw these
items in the bin anyway, so why have your business name on them? It's all about
building a brand, looking professional and making the public aware of who you
are and importantly showing the public that you want them to know who you are.
The last time you bought a hot dog from a mobile caterer can you honestly
remember the name of their business or anything about them except that they just
happened to be there when you were looking for refreshments.
Although the initial expense of having the
first batch of
disposables produced with your logo on can be slightly higher and may
require you to buy a larger quantity initially the ongoing cost thereafter
usually levels out. When was the last time you bought a McDonald's milkshake in
a plain white paper cup?
While we're talking about disposable products,
what about the rubbish bin that will have prime position at the front of your
catering trailer where everyone can see it? Even your rubbish bin can be branded
or themed to match the rest of your business with a logo, business name, website
address and even shaped to suit your requirements. Take a look under our
marketing directory for
promotional products.
