Chapel Hill, NC, June 17, 2009 – The Chapel Hill Restaurant Group, owner of five Triangle (NC) area restaurants, has retained Jennings, the Chapel Hill-based marketing firm, to develop and execute a social media marketing plan on its behalf. The purpose of the program will be to engage loyal patrons of the Group’s restaurants via social media outlets, making it easier for customers to keep up-to-date on weekly specials, new menu offerings, special events, and community activities of the restaurants.
As a growing number of Americans use social media and online reviews to help them determine where to dine, using these platforms to communicate with loyal and potential customers is quickly becoming a trend within the industry. Social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are rapidly replacing conventional media as vehicles for marketing, promotions, buzz generation, overall branding, providing added value to guests and monitoring the restaurant’s reputation online.
Jennings currently maintains social media programs for several of its clients including the Chapel Hill Orange County Visitors Bureau. These programs are strategically driven and fully integrated with the client’s overall marketing communications plan.
