A year ago we went to Bice , a wonderful Italian restaurant in Coconut Grove, Florida that offered a 25 per cent discount to anyone who could show proof that they went to see a movie next door the same day they were dining. The movie theater and the restaurant were doing a brisk business. Today, we walked past the restaurant and noticed they were still doing great. They are so smart. Now they are offering discounts to anyone who likes them on Facebook . Other social media sites such as Foursquare provide rewards as well.
I want to remind everyone, that before you enter a retail chain, restaurant, museum, movie, theatre, train, cheap cruise online glory carnival airplane, boat, golf course, hotel, salon, bowling alley, parking lot, and even a doctors office (the ones that don t take insurance), read the fine print. There is usually a discount if you are a Facebook fan or you are over 50 or 55. Many establishments are not broadcasting the price advantages so you have to look at their websites, Facebook cheap cruise online glory carnival page, the front window sign and even a notice by the cash register to secure the offer.
If you have to ask about it, please do. Do not be embarrassed. The companies are making these offers to drum up business. You are patronizing them as opposed to the competition, so be sure to reward yourself. This is no different than bidding on Groupon , Living Social , etc. Look at some of the signs I have posted here so that you become familiar with what to look for. Also, some companies only give social media and age discounts on certain days of the week.
Here s an embarrassing moment for the digitally challenged. Bought a new car a couple of days ago and our phones were too antiquated to sync with the car. Contract won t be up for a few more months, so I ll look cool, but won t be able to use all the car s features until we upgrade.
