'Hold My Bag Please' Advertising Solution

Restaurateurs increasingly wonder about the following:

What would make my current customers want to come more often to my restaurant and order a few more dishes and beverages?

What would convince potential customers to actually take the step to push the door of my restaurant open?

Where can I find an advertising option that can be both inexpensive and really bring me results?

Anne-Sophie Sayman, CEO of Hold My Bag Please!, says "There is a solution so simple, no one thinks about it. 7 repeated exposures are necessary for a customer to spontaneously remember your restaurant's name as a first choice when the answer is triggered… Up until now, sadly, usually no restaurateur has had the opportunity (money wise) or even the ability to put their customers in front of their advertisement more than a couple of times (can't make them find it and look at it…). At www.HoldMyBagPlease.com, we bring them this opportunity, at a very affordable price".

Customers come to your restaurant for the delicious food obviously but studies show they mainly come for the relaxing, enjoyable moment they experience at your establishment.

"I was so upset that I always had to eat with my bag taking half the space on my chair or laying on the dirty floor, that I had chosen to just put the strict minimum in my husband's pockets to avoid the hassle. He was not very happy about it! Until I heard about www.HoldMyBagPlease.com and suggested the 2 restaurants I enjoy most to get the bag holders. They loved it, saw the benefit and now both my husband and I have a great time at our favorite places" says Zahra.

Another restaurant customer, Sandra, tells us that "after having my whole bag stolen from me, at a restaurant I was having dinner at, and hearing that a good friend of mine had her cell phone stolen from her purse, in another one, while it was hanging from the back of her chair, I was thrilled to see one restaurant take the matter in its hands. I say Thumbs Up to you and many thanks! You got yourself a new, steady patron!"

Bag holders remain in a woman's purse, making her look at it several times a day. You are well past the needed 7 exposures; you are constantly reminding her consciously or unconsciously of you.

Every businessperson has heard that word-of-mouth is the most powerful advertising and marketing tool, simply because you have someone strongly advocate for you. Give you current customers a reason to talk about you and they will. Actually, give everyone around them a reason to ask about you, it's even better! No one likes to be sold but everybody loves to buy.

"For a couple of years, I had tried to convince my girlfriends and their husbands to come join us to one of the best places in town for dinner, but there was always another reason why we wouldn't make it. When they saw my bag holder at our usual eating place, they found it so cool, they wanted one. We went to the restaurant the next Friday! We were already Wednesday when we spoke about it but they were so worried the restaurant would run out of them that they made me go quickly! They loved the place and now we are going there regularly!" explains Laurence.

Marketing and advertising are expensive tools because of the value they bring to you, they bring you the essence of your business, without which, you wouldn't have a business… your customers.

www.HoldMyBagPlease.com was founded to bring an affordable, cost effective tool to give every restaurateur the opportunity to grow their business with a manageable advertising budget; and to finally offer every female customer the opportunity to fully enjoy their time at restaurants.
