Send the message. Send the connection request. Send the ask. You never know until you try! What’s the worst thing they will do? Not respond? When you reach out to network, here are a few tips: 1. Have a purpose 2. State the purpose clearly and quickly 3. If you have a mutual or loose connection, mention it (quickly) 4. Don’t be demanding 5. If you are asking for time, offer to take them to coffee (same location) or to get them a $5 Starbucks gift card (different location) Good luck!

Don’t fall victim to breakage! $30 billion of gift cards are purchased each holiday season. But what if you forget to use that gift card you just got for Christmas? Under ASC 606, companies can recognize estimated revenue for services paid for but not used (i.e., breakage). The benefits of this can be massive for companies that sell large amounts of gift cards. For example, Starbucks recognized $196 MILLION of revenue for breakage in 2023. That's a lot of iced sugar cookie almond milk lattes! So don’t be just another statistic. Use those gift cards now! #technicalaccounting #ASC606 #fasb #SECReporting

I'm fully aware that my network here is not primarily winery professionals (yet 😉), but this initiative is too exciting not to share. Access to industry benchmarks is such a magical thing. Whether that is for revenue or growth targets, brand awareness, or employee satisfaction. Without them, companies are flying blind and unsure where to focus their efforts. How many times have you wondered... How am I doing compared to my peers? Unfortunately, there hasn't been a #wineindustry benchmark report focused on the overall health of their business. 🌟 At InnoVint, we're going to change that. We've just launched a first-of-its-kind industry survey to assess the financial, operational, and cultural health of wine businesses across the nation. 🌟 So, if you are one of my new wine industry connections on here, I encourage you to take the survey and help us build an industry baseline. If you're not and have a connection with any winemakers or industry professionals, please tag them!! The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete (more like 6-8), is completely anonymous. Plus all participants will get priority access to the results and takeaways AND will be entered to win one of two $500 gift cards. 🔗 Grab the link in the first comment or head to innovint.us

anyone in the restaurant business (or many other verticals in small business)... if you didn't kill it in 2023 with your gift card sales and digital offers, I've got something for you. I have successfully built and monetized a fairly substantial email list, especially focused at the appropriate time to sell gift cards. It's far from impossible to figure that your small restaurant could generate $3-12,000 with a short campaign. what does that do for you? Lots of front loaded cash flow today, and a dribble of redemption over the next couple months. It's ALMOST like magic. Dive into our community and lears simple and measurable tactics that not only get you moving in the right direction, but generating sales while you're sleeping. I know what I'm talking about, been in the game over 30 years. Opt in below and get our latest case study on how we launched our last sale, and generated over $16,000 in 7 days. (no b.s., happy to share proof) Thanks for sharing, look forward to connecting on the other side. Tony Marciante

I live about 2 hours drive away from my Mum which means when we do spend time together it is regularly in Borough Market dining at Elliot's or sipping wine in one of the many wonderful arches. 🍷 These experiences last a lifetime, unlike those flowers that will wilt, or the chocolate that will last all of 2 minutes! And this year Toggle is predicting a whopping 177% surge in gift card sales for #mothersday. Operators offering gift cards with added-value promotions like ‘£10 off when you spend £30’ are seeing a 533% increase in total spend from the original redemption value. A win-win i'm sure every business wants! 🎉 So whether it's an Afternoon Tea, a Spa Day, a perfect 'Sunday Lunch for Two', or simply a gift card promotion this Mother's Day, Toggle's advice is to make sure your customers, your passers-by, and your future customers know about it! 💌 #giftcards #marketing #hospitality

Do you have any un-used gift cards lying around? Starbucks reported having $1.77 billion in unredeemed gift card balances, a 9% increase from the previous year. Much of this amount is unlikely to be redeemed, allowing Starbucks to benefit from what is known as "breakage revenue." In the fiscal third quarter, the company recognized $196.1 million in breakage revenue from company-operated stores and an additional $18.9 million from licensed stores. This breakage revenue represents about 13.7% of the total gift card balances, effectively providing Starbucks with a form of negative interest on the unused funds. The pattern of unredeemed gift cards has been consistent, with similar revenue figures reported in previous years.

Have you ever thought about if you could 'taste colour'? For those of you who are whisky drinkers, I am conducting a research project to understand how Canadians are subconsciously impacted by the colour of a bottle's label. If you drink whisky at all, I'd love for you to do this survey (and there's 5 chances to win a gift card for those who complete it). This information will be analyzed and put into a large industry publication this summer and I will also be presenting about it to craft distillers in August. Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/g_PCHnAs #canadianwhisky #whiskytasting #whiskeytasting #whiskyresearch

If your restaurant isn't building a huge list and blasting it to sell things throughout the year, like gift cards, you're missing out on tons of fresh revenue. One of our Sports Bar clients in St. Louis, generated $27,260 in gift card sales directly related to our campaigns. (see screenshot) What would an extra $27k during all the holidays mean for your restaurant? Christmas, Valentine's, Thanksgiving, new menu items, events... There are so many ways to make money from building contact lists, then communicating with it regularly to upsell and drive repeat visits.
