Marketing strategy

You’ve got an out-of-this-world chef, a beautiful interior, and a location that your competitors would kill for. So why isn’t there a line of customers outside your door morning, noon, and night?

Even the most well-known establishments need to create a restaurant marketing strategy. The right message delivered at the right time can influence restaurant guests to choose your establishment over your local competition. From attracting new guests to increasing the frequency and ticket size of regulars, your restaurant marketing strategy should be a critical element of your success.

To help you learn how to grab your audience’s attention, influence their decision-making, and increase your market share, we’ve put together a series of expert guides. While we can’t deliver an entire MBA education here, we’ve covered everything from marketing basics and the major marketing channels to understanding the return on your investment.
