So, you’ve opened a restaurant and are looking for a fun and memorable way to promote it.
When promoting a restaurant, customized clothing is a great way to get the word out. Not only does it create a sense of unity among staff, but it can also catch the eye of potential customers.
Plus, if the restaurant has a particular niche, such as serving French food, or being vegan, then the clothing will likely appeal to people who enjoy those foods or have that cultural heritage.
So, if you don’t know where to begin with customized clothes, read on, as this article looks at six items of clothing you can customize to promote your restaurant.
Shoes
Yep, you read that right!
Far from being the classic item of promotion, the customization of shoes can go down a storm with potential customers, especially if you are able to give them away as part of your restaurant’s launching night or day.
Indeed, many restaurants and other businesses have paired up with well-known shoe brands, like Converse, to create sneakers that have been designed solely for their brand’s promotion. So, if this sounds like an avenue that you want to go down, head to anthembranding.com.
T-Shirts
Always a classic, T-shirts are the most popular choice for customized restaurant apparel. They’re comfortable, versatile, can be printed en masse (thus saving money), and can be worn by both front and back-of-house staff. Consider printing your restaurant’s logo on the front, with a fun slogan or hashtag on the back. This will make it easy for customers to snap a photo of the T-shirts and share it on social media, spreading the word about your restaurant.
Aprons
Of course, what kind of restaurant promotion would it be if you didn’t use aprons somewhere?
Aprons are a must-have for any restaurant, and they’re perfect for customization. You can print your logo or slogan on the front or back of the apron or even on the pockets. Aprons also come in a variety of colors, so you can choose an apron that matches your brand’s color scheme.
Hats
Hats are another great option for customized restaurant apparel. They can be worn by both front and back-of-house staff, and they’re perfect for keeping hair out of food. Consider embroidering your restaurant’s logo on the front of the hat or printing a fun message on the brim. You could even have different kinds of hats customized, such as baseball caps, bucket hats, and beanies.
Hoodies
If you’re looking for clothing that is a little more casual, consider customizing hoodies. They’re comfortable, warm, and perfect for chilly weather. You can print your restaurant’s logo or slogan on the front or back of the hoodie or even on the sleeves.
Tote Bags
Tote bags are a great and very affordable way to promote your restaurant outside of the workplace. Customers can use them to carry groceries, gym clothes, or even as a reusable shopping bag. Consider printing your restaurant’s logo or slogan on the front of the tote bag, along with your website or social media handles.
