Oh no, I’m a DELCO. Just wondering if sales will be higher.

Just wasn’t a hit with our customers… I bundled it with 2 larges and a bread, try to create a higher ticket. We didn’t sell a lot of them.

What should we expect. First big fight as an owner. Certainly the most hyped fight I can remember.

It didn’t work well for us. Google “red box bulk promo codes”. You can buy them there, they email them, I copied and pasted them into mailing labels and attached them onto menus.

I want to say the version we used was $199/mo. The idea is great, the execution is terrible, IMO. The emails they sent on our behalf were cheesy and reflected none of the brand we are trying to build. Furthermore, the emails came from a generic @myrewardsprogram.net which I found kinda...

I used Repeat Returns and to say I was unsatisfied would be an understatement.

I’ve never been asked before either, but I typically bring it up when someone asks if I take AMEX or Discover. “I try not to limit the ways in which you want to give me money, I’ll take bitcoin if I can figure it out”. I’m sure there aren’t a lot of retailers taking it right now, might be a good...

Yup, they have units equivalent to a penny.

Running the promotion this weekend. 2 Large 1 Topping pizzas, cheese bread and a promo code for $25… Bought some shipping labels and printed out each promo code on them, stuck them on menus. Will report back how it worked.

I’m shocked at how many of you have a ‘no big deal’ attitude about this. I can count on one hand how many times my wife has been in the kitchen while we were open or I was working on something.

When someone wants to give me money. I try not to limit the ways in which they can do that. I’ve had it on my mind since we opened. Haven’t looked into it enough to do it yet though.

You can purchase redbox gift cards in bulk. In fact this just reminded me that I wanted to do that.

Put out a RFP on craigslist for having a website being built. Get proposals, talk with a few, decide who you like best. Ours cost $2500 to get it done, but it looks professional and people often assume we are a chain store.

We already do that, but by that point we’ve already made the sale. Some people want to be sold and upselling verbally is great for them. Others want to make their own decisions. I’ve bought some ceiling tile poster hangers and some suction cups, gotta design some posters.

We have virtually none, and I know I need to get some. Anyone have good contacts for window clings and hanging posters? What do you do to market to your customers once they are in the store?
