March Madness - Begins March 14
For sports bars, grills, and other hot destinations for TV viewing, March Madness offers a nearly month-long period for high-volume customer engagements. Tournament games are played nearly twice a week, including some weekends, providing restaurants the opportunity to host multiple watch parties where they can highlight popular, specialty, or high-profit menu items and encourage loyal customers to invite their friends. Many restaurants create tournament brackets that reward winning customers with food, drink, and merchandise prizes. As the tournament comes to a crescendo, by bringing these March Madness elements to the environment, restaurants can create a go-to place for the community or neighborhood to watch the games. |

Celebrate National Cocktail Day by promoting your restaurant’s cocktail menu, including non-alcoholic “mocktails” to attract the growing number of customers moving away from consuming alcohol. |
