Six proven marketing ideas for restaurants

 With new social-media platforms springing everywhere and mobile marketing exploding, it's hard to know where to focus your marketing time and dollars. Learn how these six proven marketing ideas can help your restaurant stand out:
1. Ask your customers- when was the last time you got some data from your customers about how they like to interact with your restaurant? There's no excuse when you can easily run polls or surveys on your Facebook page.

2. Triggered emails- do you send customers emails that make additional offers after customers sign in for your restaurant newsletter or make a reservation through your site. If not, you are missing on a great opportunity to keep your name in front of your customers.
3. Text marketing- if your customers opt for text messaging, find out what your customers want by texting them a question. Then send out coupons or discounts on that item
4. Your competition- analyze what marketing methods your competition is using, and look for what they are not doing. Be somewhere they are not like Youtube or Pinterest.
5. Host an event- hosting an event at your restaurant can be a powerful way to get known by a lot of people at once since everybody comes over to thank the host.
6. Referral rewards- this marketing idea has been around for a while but for a reason, it works. Turn your existing customers into a marketing team by rewarding them when they send you new customers.
