National Women’s History Month

Take some time in March to honor the women in your business or within the culinary world or food truck industry. Highlight those who have made an impact on your business and have contributed to history and society to make our lives what they are today.

March Madness Tournament

The NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament tips off in March. Get into the spirit by creating a March Madness bracket for your food truck menu, or the most common locations you park your truck.

You could have a competition of your most popular dishes and encourage diners to order one of the two. If you are a truck in or around college towns, offer customers a discount for wearing team colors. Take pictures of your employees who are getting in the spirit and post them on social media with the hashtag for the team you support. Tag your employees or customers dressed for the occasion and your posts will reach more people.

St. Patrick’s Day

The luck of the Irish is here in March for St. Patrick’s Day. Get your truck involved in your community by participating in St. Patrick’s Day parades. St. Patrick’s Day is a perfect opportunity to dress in green and post on social media. Give customers wearing green a special discount or prize for taking a picture and tagging your food truck. If you are participating in local events, make sure to use the hashtag to get your posts found by new followers and promote your business.

Pi Day (March 14)

Pi Day is March 14th so take this opportunity to offer some pie (or a pizza pie) from your truck. Take advantage of this opportunity as well with specials on pizza, pies or even culinary classes. Tag all of your posts on social media using hashtag #piday to get your posts found by people looking for Pi Day specials. Encourage social media followers to bake and show off their pies, and of course, eat some of your pie.
