Use Fish Bowl Containers to Serve Holiday-Inspired Drink Promos

Plastic containers are some of the most popular display fixtures among a variety of business owners, and this is thanks in large part to the variety plastic containers themselves offer! Store and other business owners can find these containers in numerous shapes, sizes, styles, and colors – all factors that help them create the perfect display for their merchandise.You probably already knew that fish bowl containers also fall into this category; however, what you might not have been aware of yet is that fish bowl containers can do much more than just act as display fixtures (as well as storage tools). These kinds of plastic containers are also great for serving drink promotions!If you manage a tavern, or a restaurant or hotel with a bar, and plan to add holiday-inspired mixed drinks to your menu this season, check out the three steps listed below to help get started!Step One: Check Out Your Fish Bowl OptionsLike the umbrella group of “plastic containers,” fish bowl containers are available in numerous sizes and even materials (for example, you can find them in both plastic and glass). Consider the tips below as you’re determining which fish bowls to order for your drink promotions:

• Size: When you think about the sizes you want to use, think about the number of people who will be consuming the drinks. You might want to choose small fish bowls for one or two people, and medium-sized or large fish bowls for three or more people. The most popular choice is usually the 2.5-gallon fish bowl, so you might want to choose bowls in those sizes to be on the safe side.
• Material: You can find fish bowls in both plastic and glass; the material you choose is entirely up to you. You might prefer plastic, for the durability and safety it offers (fish bowl drink promos are generally served to a group of two or more people; plus, plastic weighs less), or you might prefer glass, for the elegance and charm it offers.

Step Two: Accessorize Your Fish BowlsWe’ve all seen mixed drinks with “accessories” (think of the little umbrellas bartenders use to decorate drinks with “tropical” or “summer” themes). When it comes to holiday-inspired drinks, you might want to look for holiday-inspired accessories that feature holly, snowflakes, Christmas trees, or Santa Claus, or you might simply want to look for accessories in popular holiday colors like red, green, gold, and silver. Browse around the websites or catalogs of a variety of wholesalers to see what they have to offer in terms of mixed drink accessories.Step Three: Advertise Your Fish Bowl Drink PromosOnce you’ve chosen the fish bowl containers in which to serve your holiday-inspired drinks and the accessories (if any) with which to decorate them, it’s time to advertise your promos!Obviously, you’ll want to add these drinks to your restaurant’s, tavern’s, or hotel’s drink menu, and you’ll probably want to create a special bulletin or sign and situate it somewhere within your establishment; however, don’t underestimate the power of outside advertising such as radio commercials. Letting your regular and potential customers know about special holiday-inspired drink specials they might not have found out about until the next time they visited (or, in the case of potential customers, they might not have found out about at all!) is a great way to fill your seats!
