Even with amazing food and great service, filling seats in an Australian restaurant is a daily battle. You’ve likely tried the digital route—boosting posts and battling algorithms—but let’s face it: scrolling past a burger on a phone screen isn’t the same as holding a menu in your hand.
This is where letterbox advertising still shines. It skips the crowded newsfeed and places your brand directly on the kitchen bench. It reminds the locals—the people most likely to visit you tonight—that a great meal is just around the corner.
Why Letterbox Advertising is the Secret Ingredient for Local Dining
On social media, your ad is just one thumb-flick away from being forgotten. In the real world, a physical menu or voucher is much harder to ignore. It tends to stick around—pinned to the fridge or left on the bench—becoming a constant reminder of your food.
That’s the beauty of letterbox advertising. Food is often an impulse buy. When your local customers come home tired and hungry, they aren’t looking for a research project. Seeing a mouth-watering image of your food right in their hand gives them the immediate nudge they need to pick up the phone and order.
Unlike digital ads that cast a wide net, this method is hyper-local. You aren’t paying to show your steak special to someone living 50km away. You are targeting the specific streets and suburbs that constitute your actual delivery and dine-in catchment area.
Designing a Campaign That Gets “Bums on Seats”
To get the best return on investment (ROI), you can’t just throw a piece of paper in a mailbox. Your campaign needs strategy. Here are a few tips to make your letterbox advertising undeniable:
- Show, don’t just tell: Use high-res photos that make your food look impossible to resist.
- Get on the fridge: Send a menu, not just a flyer. It sticks around longer (literally) and keeps you front-of-mind.
- Offer a treat: A simple “Free Entrée” or “10% Off” coupon is often the tie-breaker when a customer is deciding where to eat.
- Scan and eat: Include a QR code so customers can jump straight from the flyer to your booking page without any friction.
