In light of Veterans Day, a great promotional idea would be to hold a sort of "thank you" event for the men and women in service. A couple companies do something like it, for example Krispy Kreme gives out free doughnuts! You can definitely play around with the idea; here are some of mine:
- offer a great discount to service men and women
- give out a free item
- have paper cutouts (you decide the shape) where people can wite a thank you note and post it up somewhere public in your building/office/store/etc
- depending on what kind of business you are, you can hold a breakfast and invite any servicemen you know (and invite them to bring their friends too!)
- if you work with kids in any way, hold an activity where they can draw and write cards and deliver them to an organization that can send them over
- try hosting an event at a senior center? if possible, you can work with a local one that has veterans to honor them
- ask for community donations! money and items can be donated to organizations such as Operation Homefront who will use it to assist military families
These are just some I came up with at the moment, but there's definitely more you can do! There's no way we can fully thank them for all that they do, but we can do our best to honor them and their dedication to our country. God bless America!
