When you think of fish bowl containers as display fixtures in a store setting,
you probably think of the kinds of round, fish bowl shaped containers that convenience stores and candy stores use to hold everything from gumballs to travel-sized hygiene products.
However, thanks to the numerous shapes and sizes of fish bowls available – as well as the fact that you can get them in either plastic or glass varieties – fish bowl containers are actually excellent tools for restaurants and taverns, too – and not just for displaying merchandise! Whether you’re interested in creating a merchandise display to increase your sales, displaying complimentary items for your customers’ convenience, or using the containers as collection tools, fish bowl containers provide solutions.
Need some help? Below are five ways you can use fish bowl displays in your restaurant or tavern.
1. Use Fish Bowls to Create Miniature Drink Promotions
Fish bowl containers are excellent display fixtures for creating miniature drink promotion displays. Because the promotional drink bottles are generally small, they fit easily in large fish bowls you can display anywhere in your restaurant or tavern. Another perk is the space-saving factor: A fish bowl, no matter its size, is almost always guaranteed to take up less space than a shelf used for miniature drink promotion displays.
2. Use Fish Bowls to Display Additional Items for Sale
Obviously, if fish bowls are great fixtures for displaying miniature drink promotion merchandise, they work well for displaying other merchandise items, too!
Naturally, what you include in your fish bowl displays will depend on the kinds of merchandise your restaurant or tavern sells, but because there are many different sizes and shapes of fish bowl containers to choose from, finding the perfect container for your display will be a breeze.
3. Use Fish Bowls to Collect Tips
Fish bowls can do more than just display items for sale – they’re also good for collecting items from your customers.
Restaurants and taverns are some of the most common places where customers leave tips for services. Plastic and glass fish bowls are available in numerous sizes, which makes it easy for restaurant managers to situate them on tables or bars for customers to leave tips for their waiters, waitresses, or bartenders.
4. Use Fish Bowls to Collect Business Cards
Just as restaurants and taverns can use fish bowls to collect tips, they can also use them to collect business cards from customers to use for drawings for gifts or special offers and discounts. This is an especially good idea for establishments who see high volumes of traffic from business professionals who regularly conduct lunches, dinners, or friendly get-togethers at the establishment.
5. Use Fish Bowls to Offer Complimentary and Convenience Items
Toothpicks, breath mints, matchbooks, hand wipes – these are all complimentary items restaurants and taverns can display for the convenience of their customers. Perhaps you’ll want to create small fish bowl displays of these items on your tables and large fish bowl displays on your restaurant or tavern bar.
