Best way to bring customers to a local franchise restaurant?
I am looking to increase my customer count to a local franchise restaurant. Can you guys please share cost effective method of advertisement?
participating in local events and donating to your communities schools will do the trick! especially if you are located in a small community.
For example in my town there is a coffee stand that does nothing but reach out to their community. They donated basketball carts to the high school, donated gift certificates to various raffles and community events and even have fun events like $1 days where everything is $1 for the entire day. they are just an awesome place and super friendly!
if you involved your business more in the community, community members would support you as well. donating certificates to local raffles or drawings brings in new, first-time customers to your place. Support the city schools by helping purchase sports equipment or donate to a specific program in the schools. If your restaurant is a big supporter of the community, everyone will support the restaurant!
Offer a locals discount to the people that live in the area.

Distribute coupons for a free appetizer (or other free item) or two-for-one during a month-long period. During that time, impress customers with service, value and quality food to keep them coming back. Depend on word-of-mouth to broaden the customer base.
Distribute the coupons to area businesses. Hand them out to customers who come in the previous month. Give them two–one for a friend.

I suggest you have a community site online, perhaps even with other local business, represent what is unique about your community and your restaurant. Start groups online about your rest…become a blogger. What do you offer customers that is a unique experience, is it music? Youtube it, is is a particular type of food?… Online advertising is free and is the best advertising. There are rate your restaurant web sites, don’t be afraid of negative feedback, be open to ideas and respond back.
