Why Online Marketing?

We believe the emergence of the internet marketplace was slower to impact restaurants for one main reason – your physical structures are an integral piece of the product you offer. Consider, for a moment, businesses for which that is not the case. Consumers routinely purchase books, sporting equipment, flowers, and even electronics without ever setting foot inside a store.

When folks dine out, however, they are spending their dollars on more than just a tangible product. They’re buying freshly prepared cuisine brought directly to their table; they’re purchasing the sensation evoked by a particularly pleasant ambiance; and they’re “renting” both space and time to share with people they care about. Increasingly, however, before patrons will take a seat at your real tables, they need to be enticed by your virtual table.

So for you – the restaurant owner or manager – the internet’s main value is in its ability to help consumers find your website, review your property and menu, accurately assess your reputation, and easily discover how to make a phone or online reservation.

Restaurants have historically relied heavily upon locally-targeted marketing vehicles to “get the word out” – advertisements in city newspapers, professional reviews in regional magazines, prolific word-of-mouth. But times are changing – perhaps evidenced most poignantly by the fact that advertising in your city’s newspaper may not even be an option in the very near future.  Nationwide, there are over 14,000 restaurant-related internet searches performed monthly.
