Cafes, Restaurants Can Use Social Media To Improve Business
With more and more people looking to the internet to find a restaurant, bar, club or winery to visit, it’s crucial for hospitality businesses to jump on the social media wagon
Social media is particularly important for hospitality, as people generally look to their peers when they’re seeking new experiences.
Ben Fuller, chief operations officer of hospitality software and consultants ImPOS, said 45% of small hospitality businesses were active on social media last year, it was time for the rest to get on board before they got left behind.
“People want to know that the place they’re going to try is going to meet their expectations or give them the experience they want. That’s the primary reason they turn to social media.

SEO and PPC Should Work Together
While search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine pay per click (PPC) advertising are two different marketing functions, they ultimately have the same goal: website clicks that drive conversions
Some website owners choose to deploy one or the other, depending on their goals and budget, but ideally you should be doing both to capitalise on the benefits of each.
While some website owners get this, and are investing in both, they still might be missing a huge opportunity.
If you’re able to invest in both, it’s important to integrate the SEO and PPC campaigns and ensure that your SEO team and PPC team are working together and communicating regularly.

Honeyweb Staff Introductions: Steven Hamilton
Steven Hamilton (Managing Director of Honeyweb Online Marketing Solutions)
Steven is an ex AFL/SANFL professional footballer, having played for the North Melbourne Kangaroos and the North Adelaide Roosters. He played in the successful North Adelaide premiership team in 1991.
Due to injuries, Steven decided to retire from professional football and concentrate on a career in design, illustration and sales.
It was during this time Steven discovered a little thing called the Internet. Instantly seeing its potential, he quickly joined Global Internet Directories as a sales agent and soon excelled, winning the “Australasian Sales Achievement Award for 1997.”
With Steven’s design background, it soon became apparent the majority of websites were being designed by computer experts and lacked the professional appearance produced in traditional media. It was time for this to change, and Steven most certainly achieved this.
Establishing his first online marketing agency in 1998, and Honeyweb PTY LTD in July 2007, Steven has nearly 20 years' experience developing successful online marketing solutions for well over 500 clients.
Steven's favourite quote: “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”
