Importance of Setting Restaurant Marketing Strategies
Do you remember the days you wrote a paper for high school or college? Then, you probably remember your teachers making you do an outline first. They did that to ensure you stayed on track with your paper. Setting marketing strategies for your restaurant is basically the outline part to your marketing plan.
You can’t have a plan without strategies! They are vital to any good marketing efforts and those of course lead to sales.
Top 5 Main Marketing Strategies for Restaurants
As mentioned above every business is unique as are their marketing needs. Restaurants are no different. However, there are some commonalities – especially when setting higher level restaurant marketing strategies.
With that in mind, below are the top five main marketing strategies for businesses:
- Build a fully optimized website.
- Create and manage social media presence.
- Take enticing photos and videos.
- Gather good reviews.
- Set a comprehensive advertising plan.
Fully Optimized Website
So many restaurants make the mistake of not having a website or not having an optimized website. First, it’s 2023 and digital is the way of the world. That means you need a website, no way around it.
Next, Google basically rules the search engines. In fact, around 93% of the world utilizes Google as their search engine. So, you want to adhere to the search engine optimization (SEO) recommendations they put into place.
Social Media
Approximately 4.8 billion people, or 59.9% of the worldwide population, use social media. Furthermore, of all the people that utilize the internet, 92.7% of them use social media.
It’s no longer enough to simply have a social media page, you need to continually post and engage with your audience. They want to know you are listening to them!
Photography & Videography
Beautiful and enticing photos and videos are so important to restaurant marketing. They show potential customers how delicious your food looks! It is one of the best ways to set yourself apart from your competitors.
Reviews
Third party verification is a great way to get people to believe in your restaurant in the digital space. This is especially true when the recent statistics show that almost half (49%) of people trust online reviews as much as they would their family and friends recommending a place!

Is there a way to track the success or failure of my strategies?
For most of the strategies you set, you should have a method to track them. Website analytics are trackable within Google Analytics, social media has its own insights, and digital ads have tracking URL’s.
Some strategies might seem un-trackable. For example, having enticing photos and videos seems like there is no way to know if it works or not. But, you can try posts or ads with A/B testing to see which images or videos are most effective.
