If you’re an F&B business, you know that your customers are your lifeblood. Customers are what keep your doors open and make it possible for you to do what you love. And if you want them to keep coming back, it’s important that they feel like they’re part of something bigger than just a transaction. They need to feel like they’re a part of a community—a community that understands them, supports them, and celebrates with them—and one way to do that is through the use of digital tools.
But how can an F&B business build this community online? One of the best ways is by building a strong foundation on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Here’s how:
Build Your Brand
A strong brand will attract more people to your page than just those who happen to follow you every day or every week; even if someone doesn’t follow you right away, they’ll see your posts pop up in their feeds after they’ve liked your page or followed another one of your accounts. That means more eyes on your products and services.
Create content that highlights your specialties, including new offerings or seasonal specials—otherwise known as “food porn.”
Brand Awareness
Another great benefit of creating an online presence is brand awareness—which means being recognized by potential customers and current ones. Building rapport with people through social media can help them feel more connected to your brand and therefore more inclined to purchase from you again in the future such as through mouthwatering food photography. This can also help establish trust between you and your community.
User-friendly Website
You need a site that’s easy to use, engaging, and informative. When building your website, have these three key things in mind: ease of use (so you don’t have to waste time learning how it works), engagement (so people want to come back again and again), and information (so you can share everything about who you are and what makes your business special).
Provide Value
People want to know what they’re getting into before they go out to eat or drink somewhere new—particularly when they’re spending money. That’s why it’s so important for businesses to provide information about their menu items online so that potential customers can see what they’ll be ordering before making the decision to visit.
Businesses with a strong online presence are often more successful than those without. This is especially true for F&B establishments.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to one thing: community.
Building a strong business foundation online is the best way to create a community for your F&B business. Community is what brings people together, and it’s what keeps your customers coming back. It’s how you’ll turn cold leads into regulars, and how you’ll get repeat customers who buy more than once a month.
