As a business owner, you’re continually on the hunt for innovative methods to increase tips and cultivate customer engagement. A proven approach is to integrate National Days into your tip jar strategy. By setting up two tip jars, each with a distinct choice that relates to the National Day Calendar, you inspire customers to vote with their tips. Display the daily National Day and the two choices on a board behind the tip jars. The next day, reveal the previous day’s winner and the new National Day with its choices.
