Most bank branches have a meeting room that they will "lend" out from time to time to their preferred small businesses. Talk to the Branch Manager to create a catering schedule for lunch.
New Accounts
Consider new accounts for businesses, children, or welcome to the neighborhood promotions. For the 'new to the area" customers, this is a great opportunity to introduce yourself to this potential customer. Create a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" or "New Bank Account" flyer, and use this as the actual coupon to redeem at your store. For example, offer a free small pizza as an incentive for a parent to open a children’s savings account. The child receives the free certificate when the first deposit is placed.
ATM Receipts
For those ATM receipts that don't include the customer's bank account number, supply the paper with your local coupon on the back.
Random Contest through the drive thru
Let the bank give away random free pizzas through the drive thru – It promotes their service, and also gets a potential customer into your store.
