HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1 - DESIGN YOUR DEAL
Decide on what you will offer locals hosting out-of-town guests - think cheeky discounts or fun add-ons to encourage them to spend their time (and money!) in your business. It can already be something you offer, or a brand-new deal created just for the campaign – it’s your choice!
Examples
Bring two out-of-Region guests and get 10% off your total order!
Bring three out-of-Region guests and you get in for free!
