Word of mouth marketing has always been one of the effective forms of advertising. Whether the word is good and people flock to your business or whether individuals offer up a negative voice and the results are damaging, this type of communication has long been the easiest way for people to tell of their experiences with your business.

Key Takeaways:

  • These positive reviews help your business appear in searches and can give 1st timers the confidence in trying out your restaurant.
  • If venting about it to your family, friends and coworkers isn’t enough to assuage your feelings, you’ll take the next step—TELL THE WORLD! (And you’ll shout it, too).
  • Include a small card featuring places where customers can leave a review, include it with the check ( skip those tables who for one reason or another, had a truly awful night).
