FindCTrestaurants.com, a
division of GetIMarketing.com, is an
online marketing service for local
restaurant and bar owners in
Connecticut.
Today, every business absolutely needs a
web presence, especially restaurants and
bars. However, we do not define a "web
presence" as simply having a brochure
website that no one can find online. We
define it as a bundle of necessary
online marketing components, all aimed
at connecting online visitors seeking a
new restaurant.
These components include the website,
search engine optimization (so that the
site will come up with relevant keywords
in a search engine search), relevant
back-links (listing in relevant online
directories), and social networking. We
live in an interactive world. For those
businesses that believe they do not need
to participate and market their
businesses in an interactive, new-media
manner, we urge caution. All of the
research indicates you need to be on
board with online promotion.
If, as a business owner, you are still
only marketing in a local newspaper or
local coupon mailer, we urge you to
listen to the news. Newspaper and local
print marketing solutions are all but
extinct. Major newspaper companies are
struggling. Why? Because this form of
marketing is no longer enough and
because circulation is way down.
Print news is considered old news these
days. One could argue that coupons are
still doing well in print media. We
argue that it is a dying medium. The
advent of the iPhone and mobile
marketing solutions will finish this
medium's demise in the very near future.
The research and proof is already
available.
If your business’s marketing is not up
to date, do not wait any longer. We can
help and our rates are very affordable.

Web Site Development
We can help
create an effective and new website for
those that do not already have one OR
for those who wish to have a new design.
It has become obvious to most that
having a website for any business is a
must. Having one for a restaurant or bar
is even more important. It is a great
way to showcase the restaurant or bar by
using photos, showing menus, business
information, daily specials, awards and
more. But as stated, have a website
alone is no longer enough.

Twitter
We can help create and effective Twitter
page design and input the new Twitter
account/page in relevant Twitter
directories.
Using Twitter for
Restaurant and Bar online marketing can
be very beneficial. Once the Twitter
page is setup, the website and on
location marketing can drive online
visitors to become "followers" of the
business's Twitter page.
This is very useful to keep customers
aware of any new daily specials, event
changes, and more. Those that "follow"
can opt to be made aware in real time as
soon as any postings are made on the
Twitter page.

Facebook
We can help create an effective FaceBook
page.
Using FaceBook in tandem
with a business's website is becoming
the norm. We strongly encourage
restaurants and bars to have a FaceBook
page setup and linkage setup between the
business's website and the FaceBook
page.
FaceBook is a great way to post photos,
events, and simply stimulate the general
public to actually help market your own
business. Online visitors become
"friends" of the FaceBook page and are
kept aware of any input to the FaceBook
page.

Maintenance
Program
For those owners who are too busy to
maintain any of their interactive
marketing efforts, we offer several
options to having us actually maintain
these services.
Email Marketing
We have mixed thoughts on email
marketing for restaurants or bars. Email
marketing can be very effective and
though we do not shy away from offering
these services, we lean toward offering
more effective methods.
For example, using Twitter and FaceBook.
The fact is that if you are going to
Email Market you have to have a service
to manage the email campaign (which we
do offer), and you have to create the
campaigns, track them and send emails
weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Using the
social networking avenues like Twitter
and FaceBook can prove to me much more
effective for restaurants and bars.
For those that do wish to email market,
we not only offer the services but we
also maintain our own in-house opt-in
email list which is generated and
continues to grow from our http://www.FindCTrestaurants.com
website. Visit FindCTrestaurants.com for

Case Study
Client:
The Olive Bar, in Unionville, CT
We created the Olive Bar’s website,
which can be seen at –
www.olivebarct.com, as well as provided
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
services. If you type in “Best Bar in
CT” in Google, their website #1 in the
search results. The traffic immediately
increased because of these services.
We also helped setup a FaceBook page for
The Olive Bar. They currently have well
over 500 “friends” who all contribute to
this FaceBook page and in effect, help
market the business further. In essence
it becomes a gossip page for the actual
bar. The FaceBook page can also help
serve as an events calendar and a
continuously growing photo gallery with
photos being uploaded by any “friends”
of the FaceBook page.
The Olive Bar’s restaurant – George’s
Pizzeria & Restaurant is also advertised
in our online directory –
FindCTrestaurants.com. George’s also has
a Sponsor page on FindCTrestaurants.com.
These both serve as great relevant
back-links to the website as well as can
also help drive those searching the
directory and website back to their
business’s website.
