The Funnel Revolution

The days of sticking a flyer in the window or running an ad in the local paper and expecting a full house are long gone. Restaurant marketing has been disrupted. People are searching for what to eat while scrolling on their phones. Their attention spans are short, and their choices are endless. If you haven’t gotten on board with digital marketing – and more importantly, online sales funnels – you’re missing out on a massive opportunity.

These tactics are like shooting in the dark. You’re hoping to hit someone, anyone, with your message. You can’t track who sees your ad, whether they care, or if they actually walk through your door.
