Marketing Campaigns for Restaurants Around the Holidays, like Cinco de Mayo, Can Create Tremendous ROI with the Right Strategy & Technology

Cinco de Mayo is a national celebration that has become an important marketing opportunity for many brands. This year, restaurants understood the value of seizing this holiday as a way to encourage an additional purchase in April that could pick up declining sales and positively impact end-of-the-year metrics.

Results indicate brands succeeded in increasing sales on Cinco de Mayo compared to last year’s holiday. Additionally, brands were rewarded for their efforts to provide meaningful incentives to their members, as loyalty transactions increased 16.4% compared to last year.
