I stopped at [Hippos](http://www.yelp.com/biz/hippos-elk-grove-village?ref=kudithipudi.org), a [hot dog](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot%5Fdog?ref=kudithipudi.org) place in [Elk Grove](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk%5FGrove%5FVillage,%5FIllinois?ref=kudithipudi.org) for lunch today. I was using the drive through and saw this sign on the drive through window

The owner put together a combo for $15.99, which will get you a meal for 4 people. The sign reads “Feed a Family of 4 for under four bucks per person!!! Times are Tough. Hippo’s will help you get through it with our stomach stimulus package.”

After I pay for my lunch, the hostess hands me an envelope which looks like this

Simple but brilliant marketing. First connect with your customers in this tough time.. then give them an incentive to come back. I would go back to the place to check out if I won anything.. and guess what, even if I don’t win anything, I will most probably end up getting something to eat there. I am sure this joint is going to survive
