Roll Out the Red Carpet: Making Moms Feel Special
- Offer drink specials- Bottomless mimosas? Yes, please! Consider offering cocktails at a discounted or fixed rate.
- Don't forget the flowers- Present each mom with a single flower. The small token of appreciation is sure to bring a smile to her face!
- Celebrate multiple generations- There's nothing sweeter than multiple generations getting together. Consider running a special for parties that come in with three or more generations. Perhaps they get a free appetizer or dessert or a fixed amount off of their bill.
- Social sharing, with a twist- Spoil a few patrons while scoring some free marketing by running a contest for moms! Encourage moms to tag your restaurant in a social media post for a chance to win items like spa gift cards, manicure certificates, gift cards to your restaurant, or a one year pass to somewhere the family would love, like the zoo or a museum.
- Picture perfect- Hire a photographer to offer complimentary family photos for your guests.
- Don't forget the kids- If you treat her kids well, mom will be grateful. Take it a step further and keep her kids occupied, and she'll be ecstatic! Consider purchasing special items to give kids on Mother's Day weekend to keep them entertained.
