Table tent printing has now been a long time standard practice for restaurants and bars. They help food and drink shops gain extra sales by promoting special products, new offers and deserts by displaying them in full color table tents. Now, some innovative people out there have decided to improve upon this concept further by using new kinds of table tents. These new breed of promotional materials are called Interactive table tents. Why go Interactive?

Interactivity is already in the rage in a lot of fields, and it is only natural for it to come in table tent printing. Imagine waiting for your initial order in a restaurant. Of course you can practice the fine art of conversation with your “dinner mates” but eventually there will come a time when you might run out of things to say. Table tents usually plug the boredom by making people interested in the special menus and deserts.

Now, imagine if you have an interactive table tent in that situation? People can entertain themselves by playing with them as they wait for the order. It might become a conversation piece for them. Also, since only a few restaurants do this, you will immediately be marked in their memory, while informing themselves in the process about your special menus. So, your customers get entertained and you get recognition as well as a good promotional opportunity.

Interactive Table tent ideas So, you now know that interactive table tent printing is a good idea. But you may ask, how do you really go about it? What constitutes interactive table tents anyway? Well, as a broad definition, interactive table tents are table tents that engage your customers to do an activity for entertainment or for informational purposes. Below are a few common examples.

1. Puzzle table tents: Puzzle table tents are the most common and sometimes they are usually aimed for kids, but adults can use them as well. These table tents are like those fun pages in newspapers and magazines. You can have paper games like “spot the difference” or those line mazes for the younger kids. For more mature customers, some restaurants add in crosswords and other such word games. Of course, all these games are themed. They relate to a certain special menu that is on offer in the restaurant.

2. Toy Table tents: Toy table tents are basically the table tents that can really be played around with. For example, you can have a toy windmill that displays your menu within its panes. You can have “pop up” table tents that promote that special desert. People will be so amused and engaged that they might not even notice the long wait for their order.

3. Holiday themed table tents: Also there are the holiday themed table tents that are interactive. For example, in Christmas time you can have a cut out Santa with his big bag. People can then “open” the bag and discover your yuletide menu offerings. In Valentine’s day, you can have special paper flower table tents that people can take with them or give to each other.

All in all, there are actually a lot of ways to go about doing an interactive table tent. The only limitation really is your own imagination. However, as you can see, its impact can really benefit your business. The Interactive table tent is a very innovative and unique idea that you should really think of when you start your own table tent printing campaign.
