What is the benefit to me for being a "Trolley Stop"?
Free advertising on multiple websites, news channels, etc. We advertise the participants and the discounts that they we will be giving on our website, along with a link to your restaurant/bar. We are also having posters made to be put in the windows of businesses and restaurants/bars.
What would we like you to do?
We would like for you to offer a discount of some value, for example 2 for 1 drinks (the value is retail price of the free drink).
It could also be a flat dollar value of some sort, ie. free drink with appetizer.
The goal is to add the total value of each location and print the savings.
