Merchandise is as essential to restaurants as silverware. Branded materials are an amazing way to spread awareness and build a community around your brand. Busy Beaver makes merch for your favorite spots here in Chicago and across the country! Here are some inspiring ways our friends use them!
Bowl ‘o Buttons
A bowl of mints, toothpicks, or matches are all customary takeaways that adorn a hostess stand. Our longtime friends at Lula Cafe have added buttons to that running list. A simple 1” button featuring a variety of their fun and colorful designs. A perfect keepsake after enjoying a delicious meal!
We’ve been making buttons for Piece Pizza since the beginning of time and they’ve acquired quite the collection over the years. Check out this throwback photo below, do you have any of these?
Button Vending Machines
Busy Beaver’s specialty Button-O-Matic machines are in record shops, toy stores, music venues, and restaurants nationwide! They can enhance the experience of going out to eat and serve as entertainment while you’re waiting for your table. Handlebar, one of our favorite spots, regularly changes designs to keep things fresh!
Package Your Buttons
Buttons packs are the ultimate way to distribute and share information about your restaurant! Add a QR code for the menu, your business hours, social media handles – or anything else that you want to tell your customers.
We worked with restaurant group Big Red F to help turn guests into brand ambassadors by attaching a coupon to their button packs. Talk about making something customers will want to hold onto, each card gets you a free beer!
Slap a Sticker on it!
Our die cut stickers are completely customizable and a perfect way to showcase your restaurant’s logo or mascot! 3 Sheeps Brewing has been a long-time sticker customer and their artwork has wonderful eye-catching designs! They’re an easy addition to to-go orders or a freebie with the check. Add stickers to condiment bottles or napkin containers to put your logo in as many places as possible!
These are just a few ideas on how to spread the word about your restaurant with merch! Buttons and stickers are an awesome way to build loyalty and turn new customers into trusty regulars. Reach out and let’s get your order started today!
