Election Day is just as patriotic of a day as Independence Day or Memorial Day, so why not treat it as a holiday to be celebrated with your customers? While presidential election years garner more media attention and frenzy, midterm or local election years are fun to celebrate too! No matter your political affiliation, celebrating everybody’s right to vote is a good thing to do.
Here are a few ways to celebrate Election Day with your customers:
- Restaurant: Host late-night return-viewing parties with food and drink specials.
- Restaurant/Bar: Have candidate-themed cocktails.
- Restaurant/Bar: Offer Happy Hour deals all day for customers wearing their “I Voted” sticker.
- Quick-Service Restaurant: Offer free chips and queso or other small starter item to customers that come in wearing their “I Voted” sticker.
- Pizza Place: Any pizzas is $10 when you show your “I Voted” sticker.
- Car Service: Give riders $5 credit towards their ride to the polls (like Curb, below!).
- Coffee Shop/Bakery: Give away a free pastry with purchase of a coffee to the first 25 people that come in with “I Voted” stickers.
- Bakery: Decorate cupcakes with Republican or Democrat colors or symbols for customers to choose from
