Pubs have always been the go-to spots for a good laugh, a good drink and a great time. Let’s make sure yours stands out. The trick? It’s not just about pouring the perfect pint; it’s about offering an experience that sticks with your patrons long after last call.
Create a space that feels like a second home, where every corner has a story and each visit feels like a good decision.The best ways to promote your pub
Here are some of our tried and tested methods of bringing people into your pub!
Craft the perfect ambience
Imagine your pub, only cosier, with just the right lighting to make everyone look their best. Throw in a theme night here and there; maybe a speakeasy-style evening with vintage cocktails, or a board game brawl night.
It’s all about making people feel not just welcome, but immersed. Your venue becomes an escape from the everyday, a place to indulge in the simple pleasures of good company and great atmosphere.
Harness the power of social media
Think of social media as your pub’s loudspeaker. Regular posts that show off your vibrant dishes, your smiling staff and, of course, those bustling event nights are a must.
Get creative with your hashtags, encourage your guests to share their best moments and watch as your digital footprint grows, bringing more feet through your door! Use stories and live streams to give a real-time peek into the fun happening right now, tempting those on the fence to come down and join the party.
Bring in regulars with quiz night
Imagine hosting a quiz night that pulls in the crowd, gets them laughing, thinking and sipping. Quiz on Demand makes it super simple to set up, and before you know it, you’ve got a packed house with people itching to outsmart each other.
More than just fun, it’s a weekly highlight! Regular quiz nights can turn casual visitors into loyal regulars, all while adding that extra layer of lively competition to the evening. Plus, we have the best pub quiz questions out there!
Be strategic with local collaborations
So, you’ve got local breweries and eateries right on your doorstep, why not team up? It’s a win-win; their goodies get showcased in your pub, and your pub becomes the local hotspot for fresh finds.
Throw in some live gigs with local bands and suddenly, you’re not just a pub; you’re a pillar of the community. These partnerships not only boost your business but also support the local economy, creating a network of mutual support that thrives together.Introduce loyalty programs
Think loyalty programs are too much hassle? Think again. A simple stamp card or a basic app can keep your customers coming back. They’re earning points, you’re earning their trust, and suddenly everyone’s earning drinks.
It’s an easy peasy way to say ‘thanks for sticking with us.; and who doesn’t love a free pint or a discount on their favourite meal? It’s these small tokens of appreciation that can turn a good night out into a great one.
Leveraging reviews and feedback
Let’s face it, everyone’s a critic. In the pub game, good reviews are gold. Encourage the happy vibes and ask your patrons to drop a few nice words online if they loved their visit. That’s how you turn a one-time visitor into a regular.
Plus, actively responding to feedback shows potential guests that you’re dedicated to providing a top-notch experience, every single time.
Run educational workshops and tastings
Why not mix things up with a little learning? Host a craft beer night, bring in a whiskey expert, or show off your barista’s skills with a coffee cocktail workshop. It’s fun, it’s informative, and it gives your regulars a great reason to invite new friends to join in.
Not only do these events add a unique twist to your usual offerings, but they also position your pub as a place of discovery and enjoyment beyond the usual pint.Utilise signage and local media
Don’t forget the power of a catchy sign or a clever ad in the local paper. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways, especially when they snag the curiosity of passersby or radio listeners who might just decide to pop in.
At Quiz on Demand, we even offer a free Poster Maker! Make a great poster and get promoting your next quiz night, workshop or latest deals.
These traditional methods are complemented by modern digital ads that target your demographic, ensuring your message reaches far and wide.
