Tasty stuff in the windows. Coupons in the local paper. Try getting some catering business at a local university. Make some meals for a church (you'd be surprised at the good press you can get for a small investment - while helping the poor as well) |

pass out flyers in your local mall, make annoucements in your local radio station. Post flyers around town...get your friends to invite their friends to come to your restaurant....Be patient, if you make good food your restaurant will make you profits in no time :-D |

cook! people love the smell of food cooking or something baking. set up samples of a dish or baked good, and surround it with a display of all the ingredients that need to be purchased to make the dish.
make sure people can smell it from the outside! or at least see it.
good luck! |

Put a big sign up front on the sidewalk advertising your specials. If that doesn't work, try putting up some fliers on the lamp posts to get attention. |

I agree with Andrew C, if you have foot traffic outside, free samples are the way to go. Is this a restaurant or a convenience store? If it's a restaurant or even a small grocery that has prepared foods, you could also send out fliers offering free delivery for lunch to nearby businesses. Give a minimum order amount and a maximum delivery area (either in miles or blocks from the store). |

I am not sure what you mean by I sell food but if you are talking about a restuarant I might be able to help. My husband has been the general manager of a resturant for a long time. I don't think you necessarily need to give away free samples and all that. Good specials may work just as well. A lot of times he will advertise to other local businesses. That is a good way to get customers to come in on their lunch breaks and it is also a good way to get the businesses to choose your place for christmas parties and other events. If you are not talking about a restuarnt then I am sorry for wasting your time |
