Memorial Day isn’t a holiday that was created to revolve around food. But that doesn\u2019t mean Americans don\u2019t love to grab a mouthwatering meal on this special day! Over\u00a060% of Americans<\/a>\u00a0typically attend Memorial Day weekend barbecues, and spend a whopping $1.5 billion on meat and seafood for the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a food truck owner, you may be wondering how to grab a piece of those food-laden Memorial Day celebrations. Here are five creative tips for getting your food truck Memorial Day business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Add Summer-Inspired Dishes to the Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Small\u00a0menu changes<\/a>\u00a0can be a great way to boost business. Advertise seasonal offerings that take advantage of summer fruits and veggies. These could be refreshing salads and entrees as well as cooling cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbecued and grilled dishes are always popular this time of year. Consider tweaking a go-to menu item for warm-weather flair. If you want to go the extra mile, consider taking this part of your menu outdoors with a visible grill to attract more attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add Memorial Day Decor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let loose your patriotic spirit with a host of red, white, and blue! From American flags to balloons to fresh flowers, the right decor can attract passing gazes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Start a Fun Campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves a freebie or deal, and Memorial Day is when they expect them. Decide on an incentive<\/a> you\u2019d like to offer, such as a buy one, get one free deal, and tack on a special campaign for extra fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, perhaps your brand\u2019s food truck promotions are only open to people wearing red, white, or blue. Whatever you decide, make sure customers feel like they\u2019re getting secret specials!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Offer Special Service to Veterans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To honor the holiday, and to attract more visitors, consider offering Memorial Day food truck deals to military veterans. Alternately, you can offer a percentage off of their total payment as a discount, or spread the word that you\u2019re donating a certain percentage of your revenue to a veterans\u2019 charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Attract the Kids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because kids are off of school for Memorial Day, it\u2019s safe to say that if you can make your business attractive to kids, you\u2019ll be able to rein in their parents. Consider partnering with other local food trucks or vendors to host fun events for the family, like face-painting for kids, a special storytime, coloring or art contests, or music performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on Getting Your Food Trucks Memorial Day Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
