Instagram Story Tips For Restaurants

Posted on March 4th, by Kim Randall in Instagram, Social Media, Social Media Success, Social Media Tips, Tips. No Comments

It’s easy to believe that simply posting to your Instagram story will generate customers walking through your door, but unfortunately with social media being as overly saturated as it is, that just isn’t the case anymore.

It’s time restaurants got serious about their Instagram Story strategy, so let’s get right to the good stuff…

Add your location to your Insta Story post.

You want to target a local audience, right? This is one foolproof way to start getting your delicious food in front of your future and current diners.

Share less professional photography and more “iPhone” quality pictures.

Your future and current diners want to see what they’re getting, how they’re really going to get it. There’s nothing more disappointing than being deceived when you’re hungry

AmIRight?! 

Stop using Instagram filters on your photos.

Natural/good lighting, the right angles, and a mouthwatering dish is all you need to … Read More »



The #1 Facebook Tip Every New Company Facebook Page Owner Needs To Know

Posted on September 11th, by Kim Randall in Be Social, Facebook Tips, Social Media, Social Media Success, Social Media Tips. No Comments

When starting your company Facebook page, and especially during the early stages, it’s easy to want to invite everyone you know to “like” your page. We are taught that social media is a numbers game & the more likes we have, the better we will look to potential customers, the more sales we’ll make, and the more popular our company will be online.

The theory sounds amazing, but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. Facebook’s algorithm only allows so much content to be seen by every account/person. Let’s be real for a minute. How many pages do you personally like? Probably quite a lot, huh? Facebook decides what to show you in your feed based on your actions with pages and personal accounts so why waste a view on someone that will forever stay a number, but probably never actually become … Read More »



Facebook: Force Unfollow For Better Organic Reach

Yep, you heard us right. We believe that you should consider investing a little time into cleaning up your Facebook page likes sometime in the near future  because contrary to popular belief, Facebook success is not actually measured by the number of accounts that like your page, it’s measured by the number of engaged accounts that interact with your content in the way you want them to.

(EXAMPLE: click to website, comment, use coupon code in store, etc…)

Here are some very easy steps complete with visuals on how you can force accounts, also known as dead likes, to unfollow your page and ultimately increase your reach efforts.

Step 1: Go to your business Facebook page

facebook.com/yourpageusername

Step 2: Click on Settings.

Step 3: Click “People & Other Pages”.

Step 4: Start selecting accounts you wish to force … Read More »



Mistakes We’ve All Made On Facebook

We’ve all made mistakes when building our business pages on Facebook, we are no exception to this. It’s easy to follow suit because someone says something worked for them when in all reality 9 times out of 10 it’s a terrible suggestion. Trust us, we’ve experimented with almost every suggestion we’ve heard.

Here are some of the most common mistakes so many of us have made with our business pages on Facebook.

Not Posting To Your Facebook Page Regularly

Think of your Facebook page as a doorway and every day you don’t post some sort of engaging content that door continues to close…that’s honestly one of the best ways to describe what happens. It’s so easy to close that door, but the struggle is real when you’re trying to open it back up, so post daily, if you can. Your overall content reach will … Read More »



Never Stop Connecting With New People On Social Media Platforms

It’s easy to believe the old adage, “if you build it, they will come”. This couldn’t be further from the truth for social media….unless your name is Oprah. Part of your social media strategy should include weekly, if not daily, the task of seeking out new people to connect with. By doing this you are continually opening your brand up to fresh new eyeballs…that’s what you want anyway, right? You want to continually reach new, targeted social media users because then you have the ability to turn those connections into one of the following:

✏️ New customers

✏️ Brand advocates

✏️ Brand referrers

✏️ Brand supporters

These people could turn into some of the best advocates for your brand, wouldn’t you love that? It’s not as hard as you think to add this task to your daily or weekly social media routine especially when there … Read More »



Engagement Is Key For Businesses During The Holidays

 

We can’t preach it enough, social media engagement is king for all campaigns. It’s also the key to a successful holiday social media campaign. If all you do is post the same non-engaging, overly promotional content, potential customers will get bored. Think we’re wrong? Take off your business hat for a quick minute and think like a consumer. What content are you more likely to engage with? Ad-style postings or something more light hearted, and uber engaging?

*note: these ideas can be tweaked to work with any social platform. 

Here are some successful & highly engaging post ideas that can promote a brand while not being overly promotional:
Gift Cards

Take a picture of staff or customers holding your gift cards. Start your post by asking people to tag someone that would love to get that gift card for Christmas, or Hanukkah. Under that you can … Read More »



Make Social Media Great Again

Throughout the years social media has increasingly become anything but social when it comes to brands & businesses. Whether it’s due to lack of time or terrible advice, it seems that the social aspect has become a lost art. Take a look at Twitter and see for yourself. Your feed is bound to be filled with a ton of sales ads, purchase links, affiliate propositions, and partial Facebook fed posts.

It’s Time To Make Social Media Great Again

That’s right, it’s time we start getting back to being social, having real conversations, and building legitimate relationships online. It’s time brands and businesses start putting a little time and thought into engaging, and for the love of all things good in this world, it’s time to stop with the automated DMs, & LinkedIn messages.

You Too Can Incorporate Pokémon GO Into Your Social Media Strategies

Posted on July 13th, by Kim Randall in Be Social, Pokémon GO, Social Media, Social Media Tips. No Comments

Taking advantage of trends online and in real life can set your company and brand apart from the competition almost instantaneously. Take for example the Twitter trend, don’t you wish your company jumped on that bandwagon in 2006?  #ThrowbackThursday is another trend that businesses are starting to finally use in conjunction with their social media campaigns. Fast forward to last week, this past weekend, and today….let’s talk Pokémon GO!

What is Pokémon GO? The real quick, kinda n00b explanation of it is…Pokémon GO is a mobile app version of a card game & cartoon that was popular when I was in high school. I was never a fan to be honest, but now I kinda am. I personally love how it incorporates real world locations & is getting people outside. The goal is to catch the Pokémon, evolve them, battle at … Read More »
