Fast Food Restaurants Marketing Strategies

Food businesses lend themselves perfectly to wow-worthy social content. Make sure your social profiles are active and that you're responding promptly to DMs and comments.

Consumers are searching for fast food like yours—on delivery apps, search engines and ratings sites. Are you popping up at the top? Implement paid campaigns to get fast results.

Make sure you have the tools in place (including automated communications) to nudge past customers often with app notifications, SMS, email and social. An expert partner can help you perfect your remarketing plan.

Today's fast food business is online, delivered and mostly mobile. From leading delivery apps to corporate-owned apps, diners have easy access to convenient ways to get their food. To win in your local market, you have to keep up. That not only means offering online ordering and/or delivery options, but advertising them so consumers easily find those options.

Speaking of consumer searches, there are ways to optimize your website and content to ensure you'll appear closer to the top in local searches. It takes a good mix of organic efforts and paid search, and because the competition is stiff, it's smart to find an expert partner who can help.

Helping local diners find you is just part of the challenge. Now you've got to lure them in—and keep them coming back. Offers and seasonal menu items are great incentives. Promote these deals through a strong omnichannel advertising strategy (social, search, display, OOH and more). You can also use brand-building channels like connected TV and radio to make a name for yourself in the local market.

In addition to offers and seasonal deals, loyalty programs can keep your customers coming back for more. This can go as far as creating your own app or be as simple collecting customer contact information to nudge them via automated email and SMS notifications.

Good reviews will be the lifeblood that keeps your business strong. Have a plan to not only monitor and respond to reviews, but also to encourage customers to right reviews immediately after service. If your current online ratings and reviews need work, partner with an expert who can help clean things up.
