FINANCING
“I’ve always wanted to own multiple restaurant locations and Clever Ideas helped to make that possible. With their special credit card transaction-based payback, I don’t have any out-of-pocket expense. With Clever Idea’s assistance, I’m in the process of opening my third establishment!”    learn more

INCREASE NEW CUSTOMERS
“Clever Ideas developed a promotional gift card program that was more successful than we ever imagined. We targeted a specific demographic within a geographic radius of each of our three establishments. Just by sending a direct mail communication with a $20 gift card attached, we saw more than 600 brand-new customers come through our doors during the six-week promotional period! Clever Ideas was able to track who redeemed their card, when, and how much they spent during their visit. What we found is people are coming back multiple times—even after using the gift card—and our location's average check increased by 125%! In all, the program has generated well over $75,000!”   learn more

Bring CUSTOMERS back
“Our ValuedMember® customer loyalty program is amazing! Our St Patrick’s Day e-card generated over $9,000 at our four locations in one day alone! We decided to host our very first ValuedMembers-only wine dinner and sent out e-card invitations. Reservation requests started coming in immediately and within two days, the event was sold-out, leaving twelve people on our waiting list. Our success isn’t just limited to e-cards. ValuedMembers received a limited-time dollars-off direct mail postcard and brought in over $60,000!” Click here to see other great promotions. learn more
