Hi! I’ve discovered a new way to create mobile dining and sms restaurant websites for a fraction of the cost others offer. May I be featured or directed to someone that can help me get the word out. I developed it for my own business and I know it’ll change the way bars and restaurants do modern advertisement. Thank you for considering it, or please point me to websites that would be of interest. Its so good, i offer it on fiverr and it is quality. here’s that link

Someone on fivver will build you a mobile dining website for only 5$

I have to change with the times. When i moved into the digital advertisement world with my restaurant my business doubled. This guy made an amazing sms and newsletter website for my restaurant and bar for only 5$. I still make money on that using discounts that go directly to my customers mobile phones. If you pay anything for a website that doesn’t make your restaurant money, try this! Click on the link and order you one, its only 5 bucks so what do you have to lose.

If opening a new restaurant, it makes sense to include mass couponing into the mix as part of the marketing. Urbanbacon is right in just getting your specials out there instead of paying print or other media. Ultimately, TV wins the day, and cable is a great cheap medium, but still costs. If you are an established joint, NEVER use a mass coupon, it only kills the bottom line folks. Getting to the ‘generation jones’ is tough – the 55-70 year old crowd, so print still works, but to the younger college set – internet baby!

Thanks for stopping by Ellen!

It’s true…once we expect discounts, the thought of paying full price becomes ridiculous. While I don’t believe our expectations have yet shifted with restaurants, they definitely have with department stores like Bloomingdale’s.

What do you think? Is this path dangerous or will people still pay full price?

halle-fing-lujah someone else is getting on this warpath!!! I call this The Bloomingdale’s Syndrome because even if I don’t have a coupon at Bloomingdale’s, I get them to give me all the discounts available or I walk out of the store empty-handed.

Chefs: STOP THE MADNESS!
