As far as our ROI on social media efforts, of course it’s
always hard to determine that. But, what I do know is
that since we turned our focus to social media, attracting
inbound links, more internet marketing/less print
advertising, etc., we have seen an approximate 30
percent boost in sales (year to date) in a time where a lot
of restaurants are down 10-20 percent. Not all of that can
be attributed to our online presence but I’m sure a good
portion of it can. The blog and social media outposts help
us reach and interact with our community as well as show
our expertise in our space. I have done some research and
can’t find anyone in our area (or in general) that’s doing
what we’re doing as a restaurant.” Justin Levy

That is about to change; watch the numbers increase phenomenally when they do!
