DALLAS, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Maggiano's Little
Italy® is making it easier this holiday season for guests to enjoy
their authentic Italian-American favorites through a variety of
gift card offers, an opportunity to take home Maggiano's
made-from-scratch sauces, plus a collection of hits from 'Ol Blue
Eyes' himself, Frank Sinatra.
The National Restaurant Association estimates three out of four
consumers would like a gift card or certificate to a restaurant and
Maggiano's offers a variety of incentives for the gift giver and
recipient.
Available through December 31 at
participating nationwide locations, for every $100 of Maggiano's gift cards purchased, guests
will receive a $20 bonus card valid
for redemption from Sunday, Jan. 1 to
Wednesday, Feb. 29, 2012.
For guests looking for the ease of online shopping, Maggiano's
offers personalized e-gift cards, complete with four new holiday
designs. As with the in-restaurant promotion, guests who buy
$100 worth of e-gift cards online
will receive a $20 e-bonus card. In
addition to the e-bonus card, guests who purchase e-gift cards
online will also receive a one-year subscription to Food &
Wine magazine. Guests can purchase e-gift cards directly
from Maggiano's website with the choice of specially designed
holiday cards. Guests also have the added convenience of scheduling
a delivery date and method, when sending via email or through
Facebook.
Maggiano's is also proud to be the only restaurant chain in the
nation to sell the recently released Frank
Sinatra's 'Best of the Best,' a 23-track album featuring
classic hits such as, "I've Got the World on a String" and "Theme
From New York, New York." Reprise
and EMI's Capitol Records teamed up with the national restaurant
chain – where Sinatra's tunes can be heard in locations across the
country – as the only non-traditional outlet to promote the CD. The
CD is $12.95, and guests who purchase
the Sinatra disc will also receive a $20 bonus card to enjoy. The same redemption
period and instructions apply as with all other bonus card offers.
See restaurants for additional details.
Maggiano's even offers something for the culinary inspired
guests this holiday season! Available while supplies last, the
brand is promoting a special offer featuring four popular sauces –
Diavolo, Tomato Basil, Tomato Vodka and Marinara. All sauces are
made in small batches from traditional recipes with the finest
ingredients like roasted garlic and fine Italian herbs and spices,
and are 100 percent all-natural, just like the sauces made from
scratch daily in the restaurants. These 25-ounce jars are sold in
sets of two, for $15 and come in a
decorative holiday gift box.
"In the true Italian spirit and tradition of gathering together
with friends and family, we couldn't think of a better opportunity
than the holidays to give a gift back to our guests," said
Michael Breed, director of marketing
for Maggiano's Little Italy. "We're hopeful this wide variety of
incentives will give our guests one more reason to come back and
share their moments and celebrations with us in our
restaurants."
