Rising Tides LinkedIn Live: Printed Hospitality
The world has undeniably gone digital, but have we paused to consider the power of Printed Hospitality? In an age dominated by screens, there’s still a unique value in physical experiences like printed menus, direct mail flyers, and other tangible touchpoints. In this episode of Rising Tide, the group dives deep into the enduring significance of printed hospitality. They explore why, even in a digital-first era, print remains a vital tool for businesses—particularly in the restaurant industry. Discover how blending print with digital can elevate your customer experience and leave a lasting impression.
Interview Takeaways:
- The Value of Kids Menus – Children’s menus are not just a utility but an opportunity for engagement and customer retention. Creative kids menus with interactive elements, such as coloring activities or AI-driven designs, can keep children entertained, making dining more enjoyable for parents and encouraging repeat visits.
- Merging Print and Digital – QR codes bridge the gap between print and digital, extending the life and functionality of printed materials. For example, QR codes on printed menus or drink containers can lead to unique content like videos or special offers, enhancing customer engagement.
- Print as a Nostalgia and Personal Touch – Despite the digital age, physical items like handwritten notes, printed menus, or personalized cards resonate deeply with customers. These tactile experiences evoke nostalgia and create memorable, personal connections that digital mediums often cannot replicate.
