LOCAL STORE MARKETING?
“ Local Store Marketing” is
the process of networking
your restaurant and
making your local
community aware of your
unique value.
START PLANTING SEEDS NOW
If your current marketing strategy consists of writing checks for coupon mailers and
maybe trying a fundraiser twice a year- our Local Store Marketing system IS exactly what
you need.
Marketing should be viewed as a process, not an event. It is very common for restaurant operators to market reactively based on poor sales or an advertising sales pitch they
may have heard. Don’t fall into this trap. I refer to this as the “shiny object syndrome.”
Your marketing effort must be planned and consistent to produce results.
STOP shotgun marketing to thousands and thousands of people who throw away your
coupons.
You now have the knowledge and tactics to identify key community partners who would
love to help you grow your restaurant.
The rest of this book will demonstrate the fundamentals of our proven system for building
a Local Store Marketing system inside and outside your restaurant. Some of the efforts will
produce instant results for you and others will take time to develop. These efforts center
around building programs in your local community, 1-3 miles around your restaurant.
Think of the process as planting seeds. These seeds will eventually sprout and continue to
grow providing you with multiple streams of income for your restaurant.
Let’s look at these future streams of income now…

NEIGHBORING BUSINESSES
You are surrounded with
strategic partners, within
walking distance- all after
the same local customers
you are.
BECOME THE LUNCH PROVIDER OF CHOICE
Look out your window. You have retail stores, oil change shops, beauty salons, pet stores,
etc, all of whom have three things that could help you RIGHT NOW…
1) THE OWNER- The owner (or manager) of the business is your first target and they
should definitely be dining at your restaurant with a discount (or for free), if they
are a preferred partner who can help you.
2) THE EMPLOYEES- After you get the owner to know you, like you and trust you- set
your sites on the employees. They need to experience the benefits of your
restaurant as much as possible.
3) THEIR CUSTOMER LIST- When you accomplish steps 1 and 2, you will be in a
position to run some cross promotions with the business in order to access their
customer list!

APARTMENTS / CONDOS
Do not overlook
apartments and condos
within 1-3 miles of your
restaurant.
A GREAT DEMOGRAPHIC
If you haven’t met the local managers of your apartment and condominium complexes-
take time to do this.
Get them to know you, like you and trust you by offering a free meal or possibly cater
some food to the clubhouse.
Eventually you will gain access to their renters!
You can market to them through the renter’s newsletter, via door hangers or by leaving
coupons in the clubhouse.
Think Big! Market Local….

CHURCHES
Churches are the
backbone of a lot of
communities and by
reaching out to them with
fundraisers and other
opportunities- your
community presence can
skyrocket.
YES, THERE ARE CHURCH PARTNERS WAITING FOR YOU
We have installed Local Store Marketing programs in many different cities and locations,
from California to New York.
Without exception, we have developed programs with churches in each community.
There are so many groups and sub-groups within each church that need to raise money
for causes such as mission trips, schools, needy families, etc. and all it takes is for you to
forge an initial relationship.
Plant these seeds now, if you haven’t already.

COLLEGES
College campuses, if they are
close to you can present
tremendous marketing
opportunities- BUT Only If You
Go Out And Get It!
PUT YOUR RESTAURANT IN FRONT OF COLLEGE STUDENTS
Two words leap to mind when I’m asked about marketing to local colleges-
Discretionary Income.
If mom and dad are sending money for meals, these students might as well use it at your
restaurant!
Also, keep in mind that college students rarely cook in, which is another great reason to
focus on them.
There are some wonderful spots on the campus to establish your presence and to market
to this demographic.
If you have a campus within 2-3 miles of your location, do not neglect to harvest this
group!
For An EXTREMELY LOW Investment, LSMUNIVERSITY.COM Will Take You By The Hand And Build These Systems
Step By Step!

HIGH SCHOOLS
High Schools present great
fundraising opportunities for
your restaurant.
OFFER YOUR RESTAURANT AS AN ATM MACHINE FOR HIGH
SCHOOL FUNDRAISERS
As with all of these fundamental categories, high schools should be a part of your Local
Store Marketing strategy.
Similar to churches, high schools contain many different groups that require fundraising.
Whether a school is affluent or not makes little difference. You will always have teams
and uniforms and equipment that require extra funding.
Become a partner with the high school, display logos and information in your restaurant.
Host high school reunion parties, encourage kids to stop in after the football game Friday,
have cheerleaders pass out bounce back coupons during the game… the tactics are
endless!
Marketing Is A Process-Not An Event!

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Elementary Schools contain
something very important for
your Local Store Marketing
effort: The Number One LSM
Demographic- namely kids
aged 6-12!
THE MOST EFFECTIVE LSM MARKETING DEMOGRAPHIC
For the cost of issuing a free kids meal you will get mom, dad and the teenage sister
dining at your restaurant. When I target the average sales per ticket, this group is always
among the top.
Kids in this age group often make the family decisions on where to eat!
Anything you can do inside or outside your restaurant to cater to this young
demographic is time and money well invested.
Our firm has really taken the lead in this marketing initiative with creative Award
Certificates for teachers and coaches, book marks with free kids meal coupons and
many creative strategies inside the restaurant.
Keep these kids happy and your bank deposits will grow larger.
The Number One Demographic In Local Store Marketing…Kids, Age 6-12

LUNCH DRIVERS
Lunch Drivers represents a
special category we created
to improve sales during the
lunch time slot.
DON’T GIVE UP TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR LUNCHES
For most of our clients, improving lunch business represents the biggest marketing
challenge. There are many reasons for this, but let’s look at the IntriMarketing strategy to
approach this issue.
It’s important to understand that white collar business people aren’t the only ones who
need to eat in the afternoon.
Consider this short list of potential lunch customers: Policemen, Firemen, Delivery Drivers,
Cable TV Installers, Utility Workers, Construction Workers, …get the point?
Your job is to systematically go the fire stations, police stations, delivery hubs, etc. and
put together a group plan to ensure when these drivers are in your area they stop in for
their “special deal.”
NO- Your Lunch Revenue Doesn’t Have To Suck.

IN-STORE
In-Store tactics should always
be utilized to support your
outside activities.
EVERY ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES IS A MARKETER
Let me tell you a well guarded secret about the restaurant business:
When the economy is down and competition is fierce consumers make their decisions to
stick with restaurants who provide them VALUE for their dollar, NOT JUST THE LOWEST
PRICE.
The most important ingredient in delivering that value is good, honest, old fashioned
customer service. If you don’t have EVERY LAST ONE of your servers and hosts delivering
top notch service…. STOP reading this information because the greatest marketing plan
the world won’t help you. When you have that system fixed… read on!
After great customer service, the customer expects fun and entertainment with the
meal. That could mean a special place for the kiddies to play while mom and dad enjoy
a moment to talk. It could be a lot of things, but the key is to shop your competitors,
figure out what’s missing in your trade area and deliver it!
You’re Not In The Business Of Selling A Food Product…You’re In The Business Of Selling A DESTINATION That Appeals To Your Guests!

You’ve got to understand- there are 3 critical
components to realizing marketing success in your
restaurant.
The first critical component to realizing marketing success is …
… Having A Great Local Marketing Plan.
Without a plan, you default into reactive marketing, which
means you will spend money for any reason or no reason at all
to attract customers.
The second critical component to realizing marketing success is
… Having Proven, Time Tested, Tactics To Carry Out Your Plan.
Your marketing tactics are the weapons you’ll use in the
battlefield to claim victory. These can be unique ideas, lsm
coupons or a host of other proven techniques to build your
community presence.
And finally- the third critical component to realizing marketing
success is …
… Having The Discipline And Persistence To Carry The Plan
Forward.
In a word- implementation. I have written many great local
marketing plans for unique restaurants, in terrific locations and
manned by top notch operators, only to witness them struggle
after I leave, solely due to a lack of implementation.
An F16 Stealth Bomber is, of itself, no value to the military if the
pilot is afraid to fly the plane. Pilots must be trained, organized
and COACHED into being top notch pilots who are chomping
at the bit to fly on missions.
Page 15 of 15
And your reality is no different.
Designing a great plan, with great tactics for your restaurant- in
your community is not that difficult for us.
But after your plan and tactics are created, by no means is the
battle over. In fact the battle is yet to begin!
The tactics must be carried out persistently and with definite
aim. It is only through steady persistence that local store
marketing will work for you.
And from experience I know that for every 100 plans I design,
only 20 or so operators will continue implementing the plan into
the future.
Hence, the purpose of our LSM MemberSite. You will have, at
your disposal, all of the tricks and techniques we accumulate
during our consulting ventures. You will have videos, screen
captures, downloads and other key links that will serve you and
your one singular purpose- to get more customers, who pay you
more money and do so more often!
Thank You,
Scott Mader
