Social Media Marketing You Can Use To Promote Your Restaurant

Social media marketing for restaurants

Social media marketing is becoming the main pillar on which most marketing efforts are based. Restaurants use this marketing technique just like any other type of business, and with good reason. There are many social media channels that can help improve a restaurant’s web presence and in this short article I will try to cover the most important ones.

Facebook
Facebook is one of the websites where every small business should be present. It provides businesses, for example restaurants, a remarkable menu of tools that can increase the restaurant’s entire web exposure. Sometimes a standard detail like the cover of your Facebook page can help and attract people to your restaurant. The great thing about social websites is how you can post a picture of your awesome looking steaks and it will be showcased. Once your Facebook followers see that awesome steak on your page cover, they will easily share it with their targeted friends and it will attract these much needed new customers.

Facebook apps are another good tool that can significantly help you in your campaigns to find new customers or keep existing ones intrigued and coming back. There are many completely different Facebook apps that have completely different goals and we will go over them in the near future. .

Twitter
Everyone loves Twitter and as much as advertising is all over Facebook with its 1 billion Internet users, Twitter is not far behind. As of April 2012, there are more than 500 million users on the social network (as mentioned in Wikipedia), and this suggests that by now the numbers have increased. Today, people love to follow their favorite companies and places on Twitter, and while Twitter doesn’t offer marketers as many promotional methods, if you have a large following on your Twitter profile, this can be effective enough. . I will discuss the methods that a small business owner can use Twitter in one of my future articles.

Google+
Google plus is still getting virtually no attention from some marketers, but this is arguably one of the biggest internet sites to be at right now. Google will continue to promote the Google+ service and not long ago they started including Google+ posts on the search engine results page. If you have a decent following on Google+, things you post on your Google+ page will show up in their search results more often. For example, if you posted that you are now preparing a Sunday brunch, if people in your Google+ circles search for Brunch, it will appear on the first page of Google, advertisers’ dream.

Pinterest
Pinterest has been in the realm of social media marketers for the past two years. This social media website has improved so much in the last two years that it is insane. If you serve great looking food, this is one of the places you should live. Pinterest is a social website where people show really cool photos of everything they find interesting. Food has always been one of the things people really like to search for and food images have never been more popular. That’s why Pinterest is a wonderful social website that you can take advantage of to post your food and attract new customers.

Youtube
After the most recent modifications to the encoders, YouTube is now much more social than ever. This was certainly what created the new YouTube around: being social. If you’ve had a live artist or something your users are worth watching, YouTube is hands down the best place to show it off. As social as it is, and with the edge it has over all other video sharing websites, don’t forget to put that video on Facebook too.
