Drive More Enthusiastic Patrons to Your Restaurant Without Spending a Penny on Advertising

Today, social media is so important that your restaurant's future depends on how well you manage it. And managing it well can greatly encourage new and repeat customers and increase profits.

It’s no longer enough to post your menu online. Now you must engage your patrons and future customers where they live – in the world of social media.

Mastering social media helps you flatten the playing field against competitors. It’s a way to create loyal customers. It drives new visitors to your door. It lets you “hear” what people are saying about you – and reply in an effective way. And it can help you be found by people in your area who don’t already know your eatery.

There's a lot to know to manage social media effectively. Besides Facebook and Twitter, you have to track the review-oriented media, like Yelp, and respond appropriately. Then there is location marketing—reaching people via apps or text messages when they are in your neighborhood. And then there are daily deals, like those offered by Groupon and Living Social, that can drive people to your restaurant.

What real-world examples, advice, and lessons can you learn from operators who are building their businesses through social media? How to leverage social media “content” like online coupons, games, new menu items, getting patrons to “retweet” your messages?

It’s easier than you think. You’ll be adept in these and other important factors when you complete Penton Education Services’ Social Media for Restaurants Certificate Program.
