Leveraging Technology to Create Destination Locations:
Changes in driving patterns require innovative thinking
By Michael D. Rosen, Esq.
|
|
While traditional competition focuses on distinction of products,
there are certainly other characteristics which influence consumer
selection. When it comes to the food and hospitality industry, the old
real estate adage, “location, location, location” is equally important.

Protecting Your Trademark Requires Much More than Registration
By Michael J. Duffy, Esq.
|
Protecting the value of a trademark requires much more than
registration at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”),
it requires strategy, consistency and balance. It is important to use
your trademark correctly, police your trademark, and adopt an
enforcement approach that balances the need to protect your trademark
against the risks and costs of litigation.

Marketing Corner

We
all know the value and increasing presence of electronic
promotions, social media, E-couponing, etc. While all this has great
value, one way to get the jump on increasing on-line (and on-phone)
clutter, may be some old school on-site promotion... a direct exchange
between the customer and your restaurant while they are at your
location.
Take
the opportunity to give a them a promotion/coupon, etc., for a
percentage off next meal, frequent diner card, 'tell- a- friend'
incentive, etc. Something they can physically take with them when they
leave.
After all, a bird in hand may be worth two in the blog.
