Advantages and disadvantages of Branded Merchandise
Benefits
Downsides
Branded merchandise capitalizes on the loyalty
of your customers. If your customers buy
merchandise
with your logo on it, they'll be
reminded of your restaurant every time they
see it, which will persuade them to visit.
Offering merchandise at your restaurant or bar
will only be profitable if there is demand for
your products and if you can order them for the
right price. Additionally,
some types of
merchandise are cheaper to produce than
others, so you can choose options that meet
your needs and that fit your budget.
It is an excellent way to get free advertisement.
This is especially true with branded clothing,
because other people
will see your logo when
customers are walking around town. The
clothing can be a conversation starter and a
great way for your restaurant to get around via
word of mouth.
There might not be customer demand for your
branded products. Before investing in your
own line of merchandise, survey your loyal
customers and gauge their interest in buying
branded items.
One of the most obvious benefits of offering
branded merchandise is the financial gains. If
you have a large following of loyal customers,
branded merchandise can be a major source of
income for your business.
It can be hard to
find a good way to display
your merchandise, especially if you have a
small dining area or lobby. To solve this issue,
use revolving racks to show off postcards and
branded glasses and hang branded clothing on
the wall for guests to see and consider while
they eat.
