Demand for meat products remains consistently high. This is understood by most entrepreneurs who are actively seeking to enter this business by opening their own retail outlet or an entire chain. However, despite the win-win concept, in this business you may encounter many difficulties, such as high competition, the need to sell goods as soon as possible, etc. That is why it is necessary to know how to advertise a butcher shop so that it brings a solid and stable profit. This article is intended to help entrepreneurs choose the most correct and profitable methods of promotion and immediately eliminate ineffective methods of advertising.

Point design

Facade

Showcase

Signposts

Install pillars in front of your store - they perfectly serve as signposts. Moreover, it is not necessary to order signboards with ready-made printed posters. You can indicate special prices on them or attach sheets describing attractive offers.

Advertising in elevators

Advertising in elevators is quite in an effective way promotion of a butcher shop. However, remember, placing such advertising throughout the city is simply impractical. In other words, you should only focus on the immediate area. You should also make sure that your poster stands out from similar advertisements.

Internet advertising

Website

Not every butcher shop needs to have its own website. So, if you open a small outlet in a specific area, such advertising simply will not make sense. However, if you supply meat to restaurants or to homes, these services can be actively promoted on the Internet, and you should start with your own website. It will be possible to place an order through it and, of course, it will allow each client to carefully study all the information he needs.

If you decide to create a website on our own, be sure to read our articles:

Advertisements on classifieds sites

If you work not only in the store itself, but also provide Additional services, for example, you sell a special marinade for barbecue with delivery, supply meat products to public catering outlets, place such advertisements on free city resources. Such advertising is free, but very effective.

Printable advertisement

Leaflets

Posting and distributing leaflets is perhaps the main way to promote a butcher shop. You can distribute them by mailboxes, peck at the entrances, distribute into hands near the store. This method is budget-friendly, but much more effective than, for example, sending out booklets or one-off newspapers.

Business cards

Despite the fact that not every store or butcher shop provides the customer with business cards, it is still worth printing out a batch and handing them to visitors upon their first purchase. This is especially true if you also provide targeted delivery of your products.

Other

Discount cards

Discount cards significantly increase customer loyalty. Having special discounts for regular customers motivates people to visit your store to buy meat products, even if they regularly visit the supermarket to buy other products.

Carrying out price promotions

Arrange interesting weekly promotions that will benefit both you and your customers. This way you will ensure stable sales of perishable products and increase profits.

What advertising doesn't work for meat shops?

1. TV advertising. Streaming videos and tickers are simply not useful for these types of outlets, even if you advertise on local TV channels. Moreover, it will cause almost irreparable damage to your budget.
2. Radio advertising. Such advertising is slightly more effective than television promotion, but it is also impractical for meat stores or even entire chains. It's better to focus on cheaper but more effective methods.
3. Billboards. Billboards are good for almost all types of businesses, but not for this one. In order for them to bring any significant benefit, you will have to order billboards throughout the city, and each of them will cost you from 10-20 thousand. This is not practical even for large companies and chains, and is catastrophic for small butcher shops.

Examples of butcher shop slogans

1. Excellent quality meat products!
2. The choice of your nature.
3. Nothing can replace meat!
4. Eating tasty food is healthy.
5. Life becomes more delicious.
6. Natural choice.
7. The desire to please everyone!
8. A thick slice makes your mouth happy!
9. Proven quality.
10. Healthy taste of life!

Lately, small “chamber” businesses have become extremely relevant, speaking to people not in the mechanical dialect of faceless price tags and scales, but in a language that everyone understands, emotions, sensations and memories. Similar examples include the Pie Lab cafe and The Chop Shop chocolate shop from Olga’s Omami blog, however, many Russian coffee shops and restaurants are increasingly using antiques in their corporate style and interior design, musical instruments, unexpected design solutions (for example, “Your Circle” in Moscow or “Blizzard” in St. Petersburg). Even Artemy Lebedev has his own cafe, and soon there will be more than one)

Naturally, depending on how successful it will be design solution- not only the font style of the logo, but also the very atmosphere of the establishment - its success with the public will depend.

Not long ago, we came up with the idea of ​​opening the first designer butcher shop in Russia. After an unsuccessful experience working with one of the design studios, we realized that we could not cope on our own and decided to turn to those who are best versed in design and have a refined sense of style and taste - that is, you, dear British students, fresh blood and hope for domestic design :)

So, the first in Russia (we suspect that in the world:) designer butcher shop is announcing a competition for the best corporate identity for the “Butcher Shop” store, which will open in April in one of the suburbs of Moscow. The task is to come up with a logo and a set of elements (badges, price tags, price catalog on the wall, receipt, paper bags), which will allow customers to feel that they are always welcome here and that the meat in our shop is akin to “homemade” - always real, fresh and natural.

In the interior we plan to use a lot of wood, paper, hemp, antiques, proudly declaring from the walls and counter - “We are real, we were made with love.” Signboard (if based best solution there will be calligraphy) we will order from the forge :)

Dates of the competition from February 22 to March 2.
The competition is open - this means that based on its results we will organize an exhibition of works and invite all participants and their teachers to a mini-party at the Torro Grill restaurant!)

The best design will receive a prize of 10,000 rubles and a lifetime discount in the store)

Send applications for participation in the competition and questions to soulskee [email protected]. In your response letter you will receive a development brief.

Many thanks in advance to everyone who responds!)
