Bar coasters are generally considered a way to mark a bar or restaurant. The idea is that your customers are drinking from coasters that have the name of your establishment. This is especially good for customers who have sitting at an old long wooden bar. Bar coasters can help protect wood from moisture, which can mar it with unsightly white marks.
There are a number of great ways you can put the coasters to work for you. They are a great way to advertise your products and services, including things like drink specials, upcoming events, bands playing, Christmas specials, and all sorts of things. They are very effective in creating brand awareness, which is why beer companies have been using them for years.
Bar coasters tend to be the same no matter who you buy them from. These are typically four-inch circles or squares with rounded corners and tend to print in four colors. Some coasters have printing on both sides. It takes most companies about two weeks to print and deliver a standard order of about 1,200 coasters. You can expect to pay between $ 300 and $ 500 for approximately 1,200 orders and approximately $ 400-500 for 2,500 coasters.
Beer coasters make great bar coasters and can help increase your alcohol revenue. Almost all beer brands make a beer coaster of one kind or another and they come in interesting shapes and sizes. You can get these as promotional items sometimes. It’s a good idea to ask the brewery if they have any for free before paying for them.
The same goes for any of the beverage or soda companies. Ask them if they are giving away free cocktail coasters as part of a promotion. This could save you a few hundred dollars so you don’t have to buy them.
Studies have shown that bar coasters can definitely increase your sales. Brand awareness is where you come across these promotional items. They are also a very affordable form of advertising, as a roller coaster can be very useful for every penny spent. For example, $ 400 can get you a small ad in a newspaper for a week or even a weekend, but the same amount of money can buy these useful “business cards” called drink coasters.
There are also some companies online that specifically specialize in getting bar coasters at a reduced price directly from breweries. Smaller breweries that specialize in making more exotic beers especially like these coasters.
If you don’t like advertisements, you can also get permanent coasters in different styles and sizes. They are usually made from a natural wood such as red wood. The red wood is usually a 3 ½-inch square and inside is a rubber circle that you place the drink on. The prettiest of these coasters are not highly lacquered so you can see the beautiful natural grain of the wood.
