For many businesses, this has ignited a new marketing approach to attract dine-in and takeout customers. Restaurants are shifting their messages to connect with customers and make them feel safe through the changing landscape.
Years ago, certain precautions might have felt like overkill, but today they are building community and reverence with buyers. If you are a restaurant trying to navigate growth post-COVID, here are some significant ways we’ve seen food establishments thrive in their digital marketing approach.
Be Flexible in Your Restaurant Digital Advertising Approach
It’s more important than ever for restaurant digital advertising to be malleable and open to adjustment. Be aware of your customer’s requests and recurring questions. Make it simple to shift gears if needed to accommodate any concerns from your community. This level of flexibility is greatly admired by customers post-COVID.
Experiment With Restaurant Video Advertising
Unfortunately, many restaurants have closed since COVID and new establishments have sprouted up along the way. Customers aren’t as involved in the community as they were three years ago. Restaurant video advertising is an effective way to stand out from the crowd, and show customers what you’re all about. Give them a reason to care about your restaurant and trust that you support a safe, sanitary environment.
Be Present and Active on Social Media
Social mediafor restaurants can make a drastic impact on your customer traffic. By building an online presence, you can showcase your specials, events, new menu items, and exciting announcements for customers to look forward to. Give your audience a reason to care about your business, offerings and mission. When you build relationships, you strengthen customer loyalty.
