Facebook promotion ideas for restaurants

A few ideas to promote your restaurant and engage with customers on your Facebook Business (Fan) Page without direct selling.

Easter eggs in the restaurant.

• Every week, hide something in fairly plain sight in your restaurant.
• Run an ongoing “find the item or it could be something written or posted somewhere (the easter egg) and post it on our fan page wall.”
• Either the first entry who finds and posts the answer wins or run a drawing with the submitters.

Ask people to submit their ideas.

• You are creating a new signature dish for the restaurant and it has a Flatiron steak, a roasted artichoke and arugula pesto sauce and grilled vegetable crepes.
• Ask for the best catchy title.
• Not only will you get some great suggestions  but the winner will be thrilled that you chose their suggestion and of course will talk about though-out their social media stream and to all of their friends.
