It clearly illustrates the need for a mailing list. I see that you, like myself also have trouble spelling restaurant. I almost never get it right!
Thanks for the blog post.

-Don 🙂

I’m starting in the offline niche on June 1.st, and I’m really looking forward to it.

I REALLY like the opener. “Great food! – Can I sign up for your mailing list?”.

This opens up for making back the entire meal after you’ve eaten it, and actually MAKE MONEY by doing so.

One thing though… I’m from Norway, with Norwegian clients. Do you know any autoresponder with better support for other languages? Or spesifically Norwegian?

Thanks,
– Preben

The three things that occur to me (and are easy to implement):

1. Sign up to get coupons
2. Take survey to get coupons
3. We give away a free dinner for two once a month

You can also just ask. I like being on the mexican food’s email list. They send me free stuff. I forward them to my wife with an invitation to get a sitter or whatever.

Your totally correct. That is one thing I have not done and I believe have missed out on several opportunities. I will try to have one up and running soon.

Thanks — I agree. You can think like this every time you buy something. And it’s an easy “cold call” too — “can I sign up on your mailing list?” You don’t have one? You are kidding. Here — take my card. Boom.

While I was reading this I thought of several local businesses that should be taking advantage of this idea. Places like hair and nail salons, quick lube shops ect. would be good candidates too.

I think you are spot-on Stew. Hard for me to imagine how you do a deal like this without getting the money up front. I feel bad for her — I hope she can turn it around. She is a really nice lady with a great product. She needs customers.

I had another take away from your article too. That is be really careful who you do business with. Check them out top to bottom, do a credit check, get references, etc., and do your best to avoid the people that might burn you.

Thanks, Brenda — if it’s a friend, then you can just sign him up to Aweber under your affiliate ID and call it a day. Bars are great for this because of drink specials and live entertainment announcements.

Seriously, I have a friend who owns a bar and needs to hear this. I think I’m going to take your idea and run with it. Thanks!

So, thoughts about how the business owners should get people to submit their email addresses? Flyers in the menus? I know Home Depot, and I think Lowes, has a website listed on their receipts where you can take a survey for prizes, and they trap email addresses that way. (Hmmm, that’s a thought. You could probably offer that kind of functionality to business owners as well – handle everything for them). Any other ideas?
