Welcome. We've added a new press section and more photos.

Sales

Better for customers + Better for venues + Better for advertisers = Better for Business.

Supports Staff

The staff at a busy bar or restaurant has enough to worry about without having to save customers seats or replace lost drinks.

The Seat Saver does its job, so the staff can do theirs.

Satisfied Customers

People go out to relieve stress, spend time with friends and enjoy a night on the town. The last thing they want to do is argue with other patrons over stolen seats or flag down bartenders over missing drinks. The Seat Saver is the most natural way to alleviate these headaches.

Synergy

While the traditional coaster advertises to the customer, The Seat Saver advertises with the customer.

Having evolved from its predecessor, The Seat Saver, unlike the traditional coaster, incorporates the customer needs with those of the brand. This revolutionary union assures advertisers that every time a customer benefits from a Seat Saver (i.e. returns to the bar to find their seat/drink saved) they will link those positive feelings to the brand that made it possible.

With The Seat Saver, the customer feels catered to, not advertised to.

Strengthens Brand

Having the ability to work above and below the drink, The Seat Saver offers greater visibility than the traditional coaster. This ensures that the message of the advertiser will be seen by a larger percentage of its target audience. Brands will also benefit by all of the visual play generated when customers interact with the new product.

COMPETITIVE EDGE

Bars have sleeves and sleeves of coasters in storage. When they run out at the bar, they pick the first sleeve available (with no loyalty to brand). To help ensure they pick your brand, offer them a better coaster. Something new. Something hip. Something multi-functional.

The Five S's of The Seat Saver:

Offer them The Seat Saver. The coaster that won't collect dust in storage.

Why now?

In today's world, patrons are as likely to get up from the bar to go smoke a cigarette or make a cell phone call, as they are to use the restroom.

To date, non-smoking laws in bars and restaurants have affected over 75% of the United States, as well as most major cities and provinces in Europe, Asia, Canada, China, Japan, India, New Zealand and Australia.

At the same time, cell phone use continues to grow at an astounding rate with 1.5 billion subscribers reported worldwide in 2004 and 3 billion projected by 2009.

At bars and restaurants worldwide, it is a growing problem that when patrons return to the bar, their seats have been taken and/or their drinks have been prematurely thrown out by bus boys, who've assumed the unattended or napkin-covered drinks were abandoned.

Until now.

The patented design of The Seat Saver fits conveniently over any type of glass or bottle in the bar, clearly indicating to all other patrons that a seat/drink is still being used.

The Seat Saver is the best and last coaster you will ever need. Why?

A conventional drink coaster, which sells its message for an average of 30 minutes and is exposed to an average of five customers, is limited in that it's hidden underneath the drink. The Seat Saver, however, is designed to work UNDERNEATH and ABOVE the drink, vastly expanding its potential to reach more customers for a longer period of time.
