Social media marketing tips & insights for restaurants

Crafting the perfect menu, designing a beautiful interior, and hiring an attentive staff are all integral to your restaurant’s success — but so is your digital marketing!

About 88% of customers are influenced by what they see online about your business, and 75% of customers will buy a product because they saw it on social media.

TripAdvisor, which has over four million restaurants listed on its site, conducted a survey of restaurateurs and how they market their business.

Here are some of their key findings:

Over the past few years, marketing for restaurants has transitioned from primarily offline marketing, like direct mail and flyers, to online marketing, like social media and email sends.

Digital marketing is generally more cost-effective than traditional marketing efforts. This means you can spend less money, while still driving more business.

Running a business is time-consuming — so is running a business’ social media pages, email marketing, reputation management, and website.

Restaurant owners know how important their online marketing is, but they don’t have the time to dedicate to keeping their online presence spotless.

Social media and reputation management is a full-time job, but most restaurants don’t have a person whose job is just that.

In order to offset that, some restaurants will partner with companies who offer marketing and social media services, like us!

One thing that sets Main Street Hub apart from other companies is that we are entirely do-it-for-you, meaning you can focus on running your restaurant, and we’ll take care of everything else.
