INTRODUCTION
The good news is that you’re tapping into a segment of the advertising
industry that has almost no competition. You are providing a unique
service that is FREE to restaurants in your own area.
Copyright 2010 - Cool Mats (TM) - All trademarks are property of their respective owners.
CMBA Info Package - 2010
There are a few types of restaurants, however, that you should always
avoid. These include very small diners (they are too small to attract
advertisers); truck stops on major highways (most of the patrons are just
driving through your area); large national chains; and some upscale
restaurants that feel placemats do not fit into their decor. Restaurants
that use tablecloths and fabric napkins are not likely to use placemats.

And this is just a partial listing. As a matter of fact, almost every business
that you see is a potential advertiser. If you spend an hour or so driving
around your community, you will see enough companies to fill several
placemats.
A WORD OF CAUTION
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Let’s remember few basic principles:
First, our advertisers are the most important and most valuable
part of our business. We must provide them with great value. You
Copyright 2010 - Cool Mats (TM) - All trademarks are property of their respective owners.
CMBA Info Package - 2010
might offer advertisers a non -compete agreement if they ask for it (this
makes selling ads easier). Don’t make it a central part of your sales pitch,
though, because you may need to fill one or two spaces with competing
ads.
Secondly, you must NEVER advertise businesses that will compete with
your host restaurant (exceptions could be ice cream parlors, doughnut
shops, etc.). If you’re in doubt, just check with the restaurant owner or
manager. Sometimes they will not object. But if in doubt, always ask. You
certainly do not want to deliver the products and later find that the
restaurant owner refuses to use them because he objects to one or more
ads. The restaurant managers are eager for you to get the advertising
spaces filled. And they know that it is your job to sell ads for his
restaurant.
Just be careful about the types of businesses that you solicit to advertise
in your placemats. By doing a quick scan of the types of business that are
listed here as an example, you can see that every community has plenty
of potential advertisers.
