Email is a great way to let people in about what\u2019s going on and to stay in touch with your patrons.<\/p>\n<h3>Get started: Build your list<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a fishbowl where it\u2019s clearly indicated that they\u2019ll receive emails, at the entrance where people can fill in a form or place their signed business cards in order to sign up to your list. Even better, have a tablet where people can sign up online.<\/li>\n<li>Have a link to the signup form on your receipt.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you mention your newsletter to your customers<\/li>\n<li>Consider a VIP list for your regulars. You know their name, they know yours. It feels like they\u2019re visiting friends more than coming in for a quick meal. Shouldn\u2019t they be the first to know about what\u2019s going on?<\/li>\n<li>Offer an incentive, like a discount, a free coffee or a special birthday shot if they sign up or forward the email to a friend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What to share<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Your Menu \u2013 especially weekly or daily specials!<\/li>\n<li>Great food combos you love (and why you offer them on your menu)<\/li>\n<li>The special dishes you\u2019ve created for the calorie conscious or with care to avoiding allergens<\/li>\n<li>Tips and tricks to help the home chef kick their meals up a notch<\/li>\n<li>Special events<\/li>\n<li>Reservation reminders<\/li>\n<li>Recipes you\u2019re willing to share (if any!)<\/li>\n<li>Special ingredients you love<\/li>\n<li>Season\u2019s Greetings \u2013 and remind them to reserve for Mother\u2019s day!<\/li>\n<li>News: finally selling a bottled version of your famous vinaigrette? New cookbook out? Spread the news!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Never forget to\u2026<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Have your address in the email (You need it to comply with International anti-spam legislation\u2026 and it prevents your patrons from potentially getting lost!)<\/li>\n<li>Provide your telephone<\/li>\n<li>Give them a means by which they can reserve<\/li>\n<li>Showcase your opening hours<\/li>\n<li>Use the name of a person and the name of the restaurant in the email\u2019s \u201cfrom\u201d line<\/li>\n<li>Use an email that has a human monitoring it<\/li>\n<li>If you got people to sign up via fishbowl, send them a welcome email (or even better, a confirmation email) the same day so they remember where they signed up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Do it in style<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If you don\u2019t have professional pictures of your dishes, consider asking a friend who knows what they\u2019re doing to take some \u2013 remember that your patrons can\u2019t taste or smell what you\u2019re sending, and we tend to eat with our eyes first, so beautify your plates, snap a couple of shots and keep them handy.<\/li>\n<li>A great photo of the restaurant \u2013 full or empty \u2013 can also help people since they\u2019d be able to picture (ha!) the restaurant.<\/li>\n<li>Choose a template, pick your colours: set yourself up for success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Also Available\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>New templates for restaurants and caf\u00e9s are now available in your Funio CakeMail interface.
