Start by pulling out a calendar and mapping out upcoming food holidays, seasonal moments, and occasions that align with items on your menu. From there, build a simple content plan in advance that helps you stay one step ahead.<\/p>\n<p>This plan doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. It\u2019s as simple as choosing a theme for each month and building your campaign around it. For instance, June could spotlight World Gin Day, where you could offer signature cocktails from local gin distilleries in the area, while September ties into Heritage Day, where there could be a focus on flame-grilled dishes straight from the fire. Planning ahead allows you to keep newsletters consistent without scrambling for last-minute ideas.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Use your menu as the anchor&#8221; module_id=&#8221;marketing-2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Content&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Use your menu as the anchor<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A theme doesn\u2019t always need to revolve around a promotion or special. Sometimes, simply spotlighting a dish or drink that ties into the occasion is enough to spark readers\u2019 interest. A subject line like \u201cTaco \u2019bout love at first bite this International Taco Day\u201d with a peek at a popular filling can draw guests in \u2013 and tempt them to explore the rest of your menu.<\/p>\n<p>Themes also help tell a bigger story about your restaurant. They showcase your brand\u2019s personality, create intrigue, and tease guests with what more is on offer. When in doubt, look at what\u2019s already on your menu and how it connects to what\u2019s happening that month.
