Awareness Marketing can Also be Targeted
You need to reach large numbers of people without paying a fortune. FMDi can develop an image-rich email for your restaurant and send it to the consumers in this area who will be most likely to appreciate your menu, your location and your price points. That means marketing news about your restaurant will only go to the people most likely to appreciate your offerings, and most likely to visit soon. You can measure the success of marketing efforts like this one by including an offer or a coupon

Use Mobile Location Technology to Market to Patrons Already Nearby
Did you know that restaurants are the most-searched industry on mobile devices? People are always looking for a good place to eat nearby. Geo-fencing is a digital advertising technique that sends ads to mobile phones near your location. This technology pinpoints users through their GPS-enabled smartphone and delivers your ads to patrons on their phone within a virtual perimeter that you set. That means that you can reach people with ads about your restaurant at a time when they’re already looking for a place to eat. It’s truly a win-win advertising solution.

Start Marketing With Videos
What’s better than beautiful photos of food? Professional videos of your location, your team and, of course, your gorgeous food. Use video to expand on your selling message, and use them in social media, on your website, on-site and as a part of a digital marketing campaign. FMDi can help you create top-notch videos that romance your restaurant and make your food look fantastic.

Make Sure Your Website Is Responsive
Patrons are using more types of phones, tablets and laptops than ever, and each device shows digital sites in different ways.

Providing the best experience for your customers should be easy and we can help by allowing one platform to update content across all devices, provide an integrated digital experience and boost your search presence in the process.
