Restaurants Hit the Social Network To Expand Customer Base
We just love these happy stories. This article discusses how restaurants have taken advantage of social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace and more, to connect with customers. How else these days can you market to your customers one-on-one for free? These restauranteurs leverage the benefits of social networking sites to great success.
“If people can really look to all the different options that Myspace and Facebook have, they can find so many opportunities to promote their business,” said Arturo Barajas.
Barajas owns Mosaic Tapas bar in Ocean Springs. He uses several sites, from Facebook, Myspace, High Five to Spanish-language sites.
He created a profile on each site, and started connecting with customers before his business even opened. Now, he stays in contact with over two thousand potential customers, and he lets them know what’s happening at his restaurant. Barajas said the tool is extremely valuable to his small business.
“We have to think about ways to make the best out of what we have,” Barajas said.
Barajas gives the social networking sites alot of credit for the success of his business.”
