Why National Drink Days are a Sales Opportunity
Specialty drink days, such as National Rum Day, give your business a reason to promote limited-time offerings without having to reinvent your entire menu. Social media platforms love themed days, and customers are more likely to post photos, check in at your location, and share your specials when they tie into something trending.
By featuring a Rum Runner special around August 16, you tap into a sense of fun and occasion. Patrons feel like they are part of something worth celebrating, which often leads to upsells and impulse orders. A cold, colorful frozen drink not only drives beverage sales but also boosts food pairing potential, whether it’s appetizers, seafood, or other tropical-inspired menu items.
