Let’s have a quick look, at some hypothetical numbers. Okay? According to my buddies assessment. There were at least 35 -40 people dining out, on early Sunday afternoon Let’s go with 35, just to be more cautious and realistic.
And let’s say the restaurant owner(s), started strategically A/B split testing, various types of proven, extremely time sensitive “bounce back” offers. And now, every time they offer at least 35 or X number of customers, some sort of time sensitive “bounce back” offer.
On average, about 30% of them. Or 10 paying customers, redeem their coupons, before the expiration date.And on average, they each whined up spending at least $45 dollars total. So an additional $450 dollars in gross front end profits, flows into the business. Right? (10 x $45 = $450 dollars in additional gross profits.
And of the ten who initially redeemed their extremely time sensitive “bounce back offer.” At least three of them or 30% of them, drug a guest with them, who was at least 18.

Before they return. But let’s say, these proven strategies, initially add an additional $1,530 dollars per month, to the restaurant owners bottom line. ($510 x 3 = $1,530 dollars in additional, gross back end income. ($1,530 per month x 12 months = an additional $18,360 dollars per year. Simply for consistently utilizing, one low hanging fruit marketing strategy.)
Multiplied over 12 months. Equals an additional $18,360 gross profits. And let’s not forget. If the extremely marketing savvy restaurant owner(s), were to then, charge those 3-5 non directly competing vendors, whose extremely time sensitive coupons, he freely shares with his extremely loyal and constantly growing customer base.
Let’s say he charges them, either a monthly flat fee of X. To have their coupons included as an insert in his customers envelops.
