Marketing ideas for an eatery...?

[Pumpkin33]

I get that there are many, many posts on marketing for small businesses, and I have tried A LOT of them, so I'm sorry for starting yet another thread. But my question centre's around marketing ideas for an eatery. I have tried the social media angle, the pavement pounding and the special offers. What I now want to try is something really unique that will help me stand out from the crowd.

Funds for a campaign are limited (I started the business with savings, haven't borrowed anything to start it, and I don't want to start borrowing now).

I have spent hours and hours trying to come up with something unique and original and I am drawing a blank. Anyone any suggestions of an angle I could come at this from?

Thanks in advance.

Can you tell me more details about your business i.e name, location and what you have tried so far?

Why not find out about social events near your place, sports games ,swap meets etc , put up a table and give out free samples of your food? If potential customers meet you and try your food it makes them immediately feel a personal connection to the business.
