Restaurant.com Offers Double-Feature with “Dinner & Movie” Incentive

Arlington Heights, Ill., August 26, 2009—One way to beat the heat and economy this summer is to enjoy a night out for dinner followed by a cool box office blockbuster. Now, Restaurant.com, a preferred dining incentive and loyalty solutions provider, has pulled up the curtain to introduce its “Dinner & Movie” package. Using this incentive offer, businesses of all sizes can create campaigns that include food, film and fond memories—all before the final credits roll.

Dinner & Movie incentives bundle two of the most popular American pastimes into one valuable package with movie tickets and restaurant gift certificates that ultimately help people save money, while costing marketers much less than face value. Dinner & Movie recipients, for example, can get a $25 Restaurant.com Gift Certificate and two movie tickets through Fandango, the nation’s leading moviegoer destination —an estimated $50 value for the package. The solution offers accessible entertainment options, as Restaurant.com offers savings for more than 11,000 restaurants nationwide, while Fandango offers tickets to more than 16,000 screens across the country.

“We have been helping restaurants make money since our launch in 1999 and we have now extended our reach with our Incentive and Loyalty Solutions Division to help all businesses make money,” said Cary Chessick, president and CEO of Restaurant.com. “Economic times are tough, consumers are comparison shopping and marketers are looking for innovative cost effective ways to grow their businesses. Nothing is more attractive to a wide audience of consumers than the treat of a great night out.”

Once customers complete a transaction, such as purchasing a product or service, spending a minimum amount at a store, signing up and subscribing to a list, or referring a friend, marketers can deliver Dinner & Movie incentives in formats such as customizable gift cards and gift certificates, via stand-alone and combined emails, Web pages and more. Marketers can also customize quantities and values depending on specific campaign goals. Simple instructions lead recipients to redeem online where they cash in “store credit” with minimal clicks. Ultimately, that credit can be applied toward the thousands of restaurants and theatre options nationwide, then printed out instantly as gift certificates and presented upon arrival for savings.

Since 2004, Restaurant.com has provided organizations of all sizes, from large corporations to local businesses, tailor made marketing incentive solutions that whet the appetite of targeted audiences through the use of Restaurant.com gift certificates. Restaurant.com helps marketers and business owners reach business objectives, including sales targets, through data-driven and -tested and -proven solutions. Online retailers, for example, insert Restaurant.com gift certificates into product promotions to reward customers for minimum total spending, or purchasing specific products.
