Everyone knows Facebook is a great platform for socializing, but not everyone is aware of this hidden gem when it comes to marketing. An easy and free way to get people talking about your business, Facebook is a must have for your restaurant, and now you can reach your customers on a more personal level. Read how to engage and personalize their experience to keep them coming back for more.

Key Takeaways:

• Content posted by restaurants in particular should be rich, colorful, engaging, entertaining, and informational.
• Celebrate them, share the news, and perhaps offer a Facebook-only bottle price as a “thank you” to members of your page.
• A restaurant should dedicate at a minimum 30 minutes per day for Facebook and social media. Some of the posts can be written the night before and scheduled to go out the following day through programs like Hootsuite and Buffer.

“”Marketing your restaurant through Facebook allows you to reach out and interact with your customers on a more regular basis. Best of all – it allows you to provide value to your customers, while projecting your unique voice.””
