50% or 1/2 off?

[GoodPeopleFlags]

I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to word this. It's a banner for a chinese restaurant. They want to advertise that on July 15, everything on the menu will be 1/2 price. So...

All Day July 15
50% Off All Menu Items

or

July 15
Entire Menu 1/2 Price
All day

or

1/2 Price Menu
All Day July 15

or something else?

 

[SignsD1]

Maybe:

July 15th ALL DAY
1/2 price on ENTIRE Menu


my 2 cents

I prefer to use 50% off. You are in Alabama, so maybe you should go with the second one; not as much math.

 

[BigfishDM]

Does it include Flied Lice?? Lol

I think 50% just looks better.
But Half Price sounds better.

Because all mental giants come from the hills of KY.

50% off because it's easier to layout, easier to read and 50 is larger than 1/2 meaning a subconsciously larger discount.

That's some funny stuff Pat

 

[Pat Whatley]

Not supposed to be funny. Statistics that I just made up will agree that I'm right 50% of the time.

 

[Sticker Dude]

1/2 Half off is the way to go

50%---- people actually have to think of what the total will be the % stumps the average person
1/2----- they know right way that it is half off

New Chinese proverb:
July 15th. You come. You eat. You pay half.
You come before or later, you pay twice that for same.

nice Chinese steoro typing...

50% off sounds like better as we all get it. 1/2 off menu prices doesn't sound as impressive of a savings for some reason. most stores list the % off so we are used to seeing it.
