Aloha restaurant websites and online marketing group!

I am a student from Hawaii Pacific University finishing up a double major in Entrepreneurial Studies and Finance and I am revolutionizing how restaurants market themselves online. These are not just big dreams; this is a reality for these reasons:

-I can put restaurants on the front page of major search engines for $50-$100/month (flat rate no pay per click) while others charge $300 or more.

-I let our clients promote their restaurants on search engine results page, not our directories which allows our restaurants to use the advertising space they pay for with SEO.

-Only one restaurant can be listed per area which gives our customers a competitive advantage by excluding their local competition from our service.

-Our directories do not have banner ads, pop up ads or any ads.

My partner and I currently have restaurant directories in California and Hawaii and we are going to launch another thousand restaurant directories across the United States within the next few months. I don't want to excite anyone too much so I'll just say that our we also have an iPhone application in the developmental process. I would love to network with restaurant owners, consultants and managers!

Hello Everyone...

I really need your help. I am a student at California State University, Fullerton and my group & I are conducting a survey to understand how restaurant owners engage in online or electronic marketing. The following survey should take about 5 minutes to complete and your feedback will provide us with invaluable information for the research report we are preparing for Dr. Susan Cadwallader’s Strategic Marketing course..

Your response is greatly appreciated and individual responses will be held in the strictest confidence.

Thanks in Advance!

The site below will give you access to the survey...

Hi everyone, I am a multimedia producer that specializes in online video production and distribution for the restaurant industry as well as the food equipment manufacturing industry. An online video has incredible impact and keeps viewers interested in your message.

Hi, I look forward to being a part of this group. My name is Dina Aronson. My company sells an online tool -- an interactive nutrition calculator -- for restaurants to add to their web sites. Customers really like the tool, and it's a great way for restaurants to present nutrition data of their menus. I am happy to answer questions / join in discussions regarding online nutrition software, menu labeling laws, nutrition analysis, and related topics. I'm eager to learn about what restaurants are doing online, what tools they find useful, and what they are interested in. Thank you. (Follow me on twitter @welltechbistro)

As a restaurant designer, many restaurant owners are starting to look into remodeling existing spaces. Even as a small upgrade, now is the time, because contractor's pricing is competitive. Also it sends the message to your customers that you are stable.

Even vendor's products are more affordable.

The best branding opportunities appeal to all five senses and restaurants are one of the few marketable products where this can be executed. Its all in the details.
