Blogging for Your Business
Have you set up a Facebook fan page (blog) for your business but haven’t used it to its full potential? It’s a great way for restaurant owners and foodservice professionals to connect with their customers. Here are some ideas how to use your Facebook fan page to promote your business and gain more customers.
• Post your daily specials
• Post your entire menu
• Invite fans to add a review to the Review section (tab at the top)
• Announce new menu items
• Promote other services like catering, business box lunches, private dining rooms or delivery service
• Host a sporting event (Superbowl, NBA, Bedlam) and send invitations to your online fans
• Invite couples in for a free appetizer for Valentine’s Day
• Connect with local Foodies that will talk about your restaurant to others
• Post coupons just for your fans (bloggers)
• Announce your new hires
• Praise your employees publicly
• Have a contest and give away a dinner for two
• Post videos of customer testimonials or catered events
• Upload photos of your restaurant, food, employees
• Direct them to your website
• And always direct them to your restaurant!
These are just a few ideas to get you started. And while you are on Facebook, make sure to stop by our Curtis Restaurant Supply fan page. We’d love you to be our fan!
