Marketing for Christmas

Has anyone ever offered a catering package or discount for people to buy as a Christmas gift? If so how did it do? I was thinking about offering a package that was discounted as a Christmas Special and maybe provide a certificate for them to wrap for the recipient. Make the special good for Sunday bookings only and it would give the recipient something to look forward to this summer plus boost our catering as we rarely do many Sunday events. Thoughts?

Maybe we are lucky with our market but we have never had to run any specials. We can barely keep up with the orders we get now. My advice would be to give it a try and see what type of response you get.

We stay busy as well, just not on Sundays. Are you saying that you stay booked up with catering on Sundays as well as Saturdays? I have about 50% of the 2014 barbecue season booked as far as Saturdays but I rarely book a Sunday.
