As with any small business, you will need a combination of marketing, sales promotion and public relations to achieve long-term success. In a restaurant, customers are your cornerstone. In order to fill your tables frequently you will need to attract new customers and keep current ones loyal. Quality of food, atmosphere, value for money and friendly staff are important considerations.
When you think of ways to develop relationships with your clients, consider implementing a restaurant newsletter. This can be compiled electronically and sent out as an e-mail. You can also print this out and mail it in the regular mail, or you can consider posting on your restaurants website.
Make sure that your restaurant newsletter adequately reflects the image of your restaurant. For example, if you are into fine dining the newsletter should also look upcale and sophisticated. If your restaurant is aimed at the casual, family atmosphere, the news bulletin should be written appropriately, in an upbeat tone and with a friendly look.
Don\’t forget that in any of your online materials or printed matter, you should include relevant information about your restaurant. You can place this as part of the title, in an information line at the bottom, or in a box off to the side. Important information will include the name and address of the restaurant, phone and fax numbers, its hours of operation, and of course the website and e-mail address.
The restaurant newsletter should not be self-promoting, it should be customer focused. The customer wants to know about your monthly specials, your charitable commitments, any new seasonal menus, a story behind this month\’s recipe, your new celebrity chef, industry trends or new features of your restaurant.
Frequency of a restaurant newsletter is important. If you overdo the communication, customers will view it as advertising rather than information. A monthly publication is probably best if you have a lot going on, but if you change menus seasonally and dont hold many special events or fundraisers, then consider a quarterly one.
Design your restaurant newsletters so that they can be easily read by your customers. Short articles with brief sentences, catchy headlines and appropriate use of white space. Put in a couple of small images, which could be of staff, food or something else appropriate, but be careful not to clog up their mailbox.
Provide links when you compose your restaurant newsletter. If this is a printed publication, the links should prompt customers to visit when they have computer access. You should encourage people to subscribe to your newsletter list, to put instructions within as well as a forward to friend link. Offer incentives to new subscribers and for referrals. Feedback or polls are great features to include in your newsletter as well.
Most of us in business have attempted other ways to make money in the past and have failed. This is a great thing not because the previous attempts were failures, they weren\’t. Or that we think we could not succeed, we don\’t. Each attempt was a learning experience for us. Learn from your mistakes, learn from our mistakes.
Do whatever is in your power to develop your positive virtues. Your business depends on it. If you do, you will make a serious impact in this business!
