Wow, talk about an excellent idea to inspire restaurateurs and entrepreneurs in the service or hospitality industries. Let’s admit that this is a great strategy to increase your list of email subscribers, while allowing you to collect your ever so precious implied consents.

PROS:

  • Very original and well presented
  • Easy to fill out (although you can’t forget to leave a pen at their disposal)

CONS:

  • Maybe too long to fill out (it may discourage them)
  • No QR code to easily access an online version with a Smartphone
  • No box to check to get an express consent to avoid going through an additional step at a later time
