The Beijing Summer Olympics are right around the corner and here at VerticalResponse we can't wait. Almost any business can have a summer Olympic promotion. We've come up with a few fun ideas to get you thinking.
Retail
- For every medal your country wins, offer a 5% discount (cap it at a certain level).
- How about getting behind your favorite athlete? Go Michael Phelps! If he breaks a record we break prices!
Restaurants & Bars
- If you're showing the Olympics on your TVs, make sure to send an email to your customers getting them to come back in.
- Why not have a special when your country wins?
- Offer appetizers on the house if a record is broken.
- Offer up a special Olympic concoction.
- Pasta on the menu? Have an Olympic Pasta night while the games are playing.
Salons/Spas
- Wax Your Legs Like An Olympic Cyclist! 50% Olympics Discount on Waxing This Month Only! (That's a fun one!)
B2B
- Countdown to Beijing - Discount or Bundle of the week all the way up to the Olympics.
What kind of Olympic-themed promotion can you think of for your business?

You actuall sound like you care about the success of others, which I cannot say for many on the internet. Great ideas, keep it up.
