Every state and community has its fair share of restaurants. These types of businesses are very common as they play an important role in cities of all sizes. You surely can think of a dozen or so restaurants that you enjoy but do you know anything about your local restaurant association? Chances are that you do not. The National Restaurant Association represents 380,000 restaurants, suppliers, educators, and non-profits around the country by supplying them with the resources they need to be successful.
Today’s restaurant industry employs 12.8 million Americans in 960,000 locations. This provides local restaurant associations ample opportunity to spread the word about the services that they provide. Instead of relying on more expensive forms of paid advertising, groups opt to utilize lapel pins because of their versatility. One lapel pin can be used for a variety of different projects. For example, a pin can be created for an upcoming workshop or informational meeting and later be used at a cooking demonstration or Grand Opening of a restaurant.
Lapel Pins Help Establish Identity in a Community
Custom lapel pins help bring recognition to restaurateurs by informing the public that an association like the one highlighted above exists. This helps build confidence in the community and gives restaurant owners some much needed advertising. Word-of-Mouth marketing helps new cafes, delis, sandwich shops, and bistros grow literally overnight. Without it, some restaurants are hidden in the shadows. It takes a few people to promote it for the food to really catch on.
An Eye Catching Design Makes Pins Memorable
The Greater St. Louis Restaurant Association wanted an eye catching design to use for their custom lapel pins. Using their ideas, we were able to come up with a square shaped lapel pin that was rich in detail and memorable. With an image of the St. Louis Arch as a backdrop, we were able to create text to go around the image. One statement in particular really stands out. It reads, “Eat Out Often”. One of the main goals of local restaurant associations is to get people out of their houses and into the restaurants located throughout their communities. The text was written to reflect this.
Lapel pins serve as the ultimate promotional tool. Small and easy to transport to different events, they reflect your local restaurant association in a manner that is positive and beneficial.
