Famous Dave's Plays the Name Game
Calling All Daves On August 1st, 2010, barbecue restaurant Famous Dave's ran a great promotion in which it offered a free entrée to people whose first name is Dave, David or Davy. Anyone with the middle name of Dave, David or Davy received a half price entrée. I love this promotion because it's buzz-worthy, fun, and promotes the Famous Dave's brand very well. And doesn't everyone know someone named Dave that they could tell about this? Since learning about Famous Dave's promotion, I've been thinking about other stores, restaurants, and products that could run a similar promotion. Join in the fun— what would you add to this list?! Ann Taylor — Free necklace to anybody named Ann or Annie Ashley's Furniture — 15% discount to anybody named Ashley Carl's Jr — Free burger if your name is Carl Claire's Boutique — Free pair of earrings for anyone named Claire Dick's Sporting Goods — Buy one, get one free to anyone named Richard or Dick Eddie Baue...
