How Restaurants Can Use Twitter
Yeah, yeah, twitter this, twitter that. Whatever. But do you know how specifically customers might come to find your restaurant website using Twitter? This article has several simple, inexpensive (or free) ideas for how you can use Twitter to drive more traffic to your restaurant.
“Even better, if they endorse the business to their followers, this becomes an online species of word-of-mouth-marketing. So, how do you encourage this to happen?
Twitter is full of word of mouth Marketing opportunities. Here’s a sample of just a few tweets I saw that came up in the last week for people seeking NYC restaurants:
- “I need a good reco for a restaurant in NYC with fried chicken. Anyone have suggestions?”
- “looking for inexpensive restaurant options in NYC. Anyone want to help? I’ll be in Soho, but all around the island”
- “I’m seeking NYC Mexican restaurant recommendations, any thoughts?”
- “looking for a NYC restaurant recommendation for me and my lady friends…”
If your business is something people seek out frequently, like an entertainment venue or restaurant, then consider monitoring Twitter mentions containing apropos keyword phrases and send replies recommending your place to them.”
