A successful restaurant marketing plan is not born of spontaneity, last minute promotions, or running endless restaurant ads, but is the product of a solid, comprehensive, creative restaurant Marketing Action Plan (MAP). One that is tied to a budget, and a calendar.
We consider restaurant advertising, buzzword strategies, special events/outreach, promotions, media targeting, social media, and more, among the tools that garner the most attention, and therefore success, for any food service operation.
Our restaurant marketing team develops topline restaurant marketing strategies to implement and execute outreach programs to meet your needs, and your budget. We research restaurant marketing ideas and trends using our own restaurant marketing. We build brand awareness, market share, impressions, guest trials, and brand loyalty by leveraging our expertise.
Our restaurant branding strategy uses brand filtering to build a solid restaurant brand management system.
Every decision. Every marketing campaign. Every media inquiry and interaction. Every guest communication. Every online experience… should pass through your restaurant brand filter.
Your brand filter defines your business image, identity, and ultimately your reputation. It weaves through all communication, both external and internal, and conveys a solid message about who you are, and what you do. Our branding agency, the arm of our company, actualizes your restaurant branding strategy into success and opportunity.
Social Media. This term has become part of our everyday vernacular, our culture, and our shared lifestyle. With a seemingly boundless scope, our team is ready to help you create an impactful restaurant social media strategy in order to maximize your reach.
How to use social media marketing for restaurants? We review existing social media campaigns , analyzing what works and what doesn’t. We develop a restaurant social media strategy to enhance platforms and presence, including creating strategic content, blogs, and innovative #hashtags that speak to your brand, conceptualizing photo and video shoots to highlight your F&B offerings, and seeking out social media channels that’ll garner the most bang for your brand’s buck.
We believe restaurant social media management doesn’t end with Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. It’s an ongoing process that utilizes different tools, channels, and outlets to maximize reach.
