By displaying your business in only the 'hot spots' we are keeping costs down, while providing the most value in the distribution.

Q: What makes the Miniature Menus so unique?

A: Well, where should I begin. They are small enough to fit in your pocket, wallet or business card holder. All Miniature Menus are equipped with an easy to read map, which makes it easy for the customer to find you, while also helping save the hotel staff time drawing maps and explaining where to go. Another major reason is the fact that all of the businesses in the display are local. Tourists are in your town and want to know where they can eat and what they can do in your town, not others many miles away. For this reason and others, hotel staff prefer to use Miniature Menus over other tourist information.

Q: Why does the hotel staff prefer the 'Miniature Menus' display to other information?

A: All the Miniature Menus in the display include maps on the back of the card, which are a huge help to the staff, saving time drawing maps themselves, or explaining where to go. As well, the businesses featured in the display are all local which helps the staff when recommending destinations for their guests and suggesting ideas of attractions to visit or where to eat in the city. One of the concierges actually uses the Miniature Menus as an accompaniment to reservations she makes, slipping the reservation time into the card. "A super package to send them off with. They can get a feel for the place before they get there, and I know they will find it because of the map."

Q: What types of businesses are featured in the Miniature Menus displays?

A: The Miniature Menus displays are placed in top quality locations in each city, and that standard is carried through with the businesses featured in the display. We want to offer a great selection and variety of businesses to the travelling public, so we are open to highlight a wide assortment of businesses that apply. Currently, we feature everything from restaurants to scrap booking stores; golf courses, day spas, taxi services, attractions, art galleries, realtors, housing developments and much more. After six years in the business we have a pretty good handle on what the guests are looking for.

Q: Many of our clients ask how the stands are keep full and looking so nice all the time.

A: We take care in selecting a particular person to be a part of the Miniature Menus team in each area to monitor the stands on a regular basis. They must live in the area and have a great attention to detail, and of course be friendly and personable. You would agree if you were to meet any of our display attendants that they enjoy what they do, and are great at it.
