7 more great tips for marketing your restaurant successfully

Are you ready to take your restaurant marketing up a notch this season? These tips will help you to attract your target audience and get them through the door of your venue!

Work your email database

Email marketing is cost efficient, green, quick and potentially offers far greater conversions when compared to direct marketing. Develop excellent newsletters that highlight your special offers, seasonal menus, events and other information that customers will want to know. Promote this content on your website, within your venue and through social media, and send it to segmented lists on your email database. Remember that the more you can tailor content and send it to segmented groups, the better targeted your messages will be and the more likely you are to see conversions.

Get social

All great brands are on social media nowadays, so build a strong social media presence on the platforms your customers use, which is often Facebook and Instagram. Use photos, stories, blogs, reviews and other content types to engage with your customers throughout the year.
