VIDEO CONTENT THAT STANDS OUT
ADA COMPLIANT WEBSITES
WE OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
✓ Social Media
Relying solely on social media for marketing your restaurant is risky. It lacks full control, doesn’t reach all audiences, and what “works” on the platforms constantly changes. However, these platforms are free to use (for now) and as long as you know how to play the game, it can still be an effective way to engage with your most loyal guests and possibly attract new ones.
✓ ON-SITE SALES
Most restaurant owners are seeking to boost sales Monday-Friday and we have multiple strategies for driving business for lunch or specific days throughout the week. One of our most popular techniques even allows you to track advertising spend versus gross sales generated by that advertising to the cent.
✓ TO-GO SALES
To-go business had a major boom during the COVID-19 lockdown and although it’s decreased since then, customers are more familiar with and open to ordering to-go from their local restaurants than ever before. Running ads aimed specifically at enticing to-go business is a simple way to bring in more monthly sales.
✓ PRIVATE EVENTS
Advertising for private events is one of the most overlooked opportunities we see for restaurants. During the holidays there is a huge increase in private event bookings and we work with restaurants to launch advertising that can help you attract this type of business year round.
✓ CATERING
When people think about catering, they usually think about big events with fancy hors d'oeuvres. However, you might be surprised to learn how much catering business exists for small to medium sized gatherings. We can help your restaurant launch ads that gets you in front of people considering a variety of menus.
✓ COLLABORATIONS
Another huge opportunity we see go overlooked is utilizing the relationships your restaurant already has with liquor reps, POS companies, food distributors, etc. We have relationships with many of these companies as well and look for ways to leverage them for mutually beneficial events and/or promotions.
TARGETED SOCIAL ADS WITH META
META ads (Instagram & Facebook) are serviced through your restaurant’s accounts giving you targeted, local visibility that reaches 10-50x more people than organic feed, story or reel posts. These ads can be set to run on a schedule meaning you’re no longer relying solely on posting every day to remind people that it’s Taco Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, or Weekend Brunch.
