Did you know that today is Vanilla Milkshake Day? Okay, I know it is 2009, but nobody can deny that retro diners are still thriving. All-American burger joints can be found in just about any city across the U.S.A., and all strive to emit the same classic vibe. Whether you own a diner or are looking for ideas to support a retro-themed event or campaign, there are many ways to create a 1950s-esque atmosphere. Have patrons expecting to walk outside and wave hello to Wally Cleaver with retro promotional products. If spacious booths and checkerboard tile patterns are out of your price range, keep reading for suggestions that are as effective as a time machine (and require nowhere near as much capital or time to create)!
Waiters and waitresses racing around the floor delivering burgers in a retro uniform shirt, preferably on roller skates, are a great starting point. The décor can further enhance guests’ overall experiences, and why not make items like custom imprinted retro clocks available for purchase? By putting them prominently on display, you will draw attention to your logo and convey your cohesive brand identity to others. For retro parties or promotional campaigns, a hamburger stress reliever featuring your brand’s logo or slogan is a witty and unique way to advertise your theme.
And last, but certainly not least, let’s not forget the topic of this post- milkshakes! Serve milkshakes in whatever trademark shape or size glassware you would like. Top each tasty drink with whipped cream and a cherry, and finish off your retro-themed ambiance or campaign. Happy Sipping!
