Marketing Tools, Resources & Tutorials
Email marketing has the highest return on investment, with a return of $36 for every $1 spent. Unlike followers or friends you can't connect with in social media apps, an email list is YOUR OWN, and you are not hostage to a social media platform. Moreover, it guarantees your client's privacy.
The emails to clients and prospects will be sent using the email address on file on the Admin page. There are no monthly limits on the number of messages. However, we suggest sending one or two per week to everyone to promote weekly specials or other occasions. Marketing can be sent from your database list with a few clicks, making it easy for you to start.
To use this feature:
1) From the Admin dropdown menu, click on the email database.
2) This will open the list.
3) You can select all or select one or more, which will open a text box to compose your message.
4) Make a short subject line.
5) The message body can include pictures and links to the product page.
6) Close with a Thank-You Signature and an "unsubscribe link" with the admin email as a return address.

Unsubscribe
In case someone unsubscribes, acknowledge them by confirming the successful unsubscribe. You could also ask for feedback using this text:
"Would you tell us what we could have done better to keep you? Thank you for your valuable time."
To build your email list, write a valid reason to become a guest on the About page and in all your communication. The name and email of every prospect who becomes a "guest or places the first order are automatically added to the database."
A client from social media ads costs $60 to $90, plus an attractive discount. However, using the 90-day marketing template to create loyal clients and referrals using products or services with a sale value of up to $20 that would cost you at most $8, including labor, is a wise investment instead of discounts.
For efficiency, a subscriber pays only for what they use. After 60 days, inactive clients or prospects are automatically deleted from the database.
Example of wealth-building activities:
Creating weekly Special meals and drink recipes and promoting them on social media through
the App are tax-deductible expenses. If your children under 18 are part of the video or pictures,
their hourly compensation is also tax-deductible.
However, it is advisable to check with your accountant as you could include the cost of travel
to pertinent locales as part of your tax-deductible expenses.
Example by the numbers: creating two weekly specials for a food business costs a minimum of $100 per week in food, drinks, and labor, adding up to a yearly tax-deductible cost of $5,200.
Solid weekly info to prosper
Using the categories and creating recipe/product functions, you can create landing pages for promoting unique products, services, and events in partnership with local vendors, farms, artists, stores, benevolent groups,
and even national brands.
While working as a chef, I engaged community businesses in several locales over the years.
The events were always well received by the media and clients.
We create food, wine-tasting, and fashion shows featuring children's and adults' local models, product demonstrations, artist shows, open mike evenings, and fundraising to support local good deeds.
Sign up as a guest to receive weekly one-page, same-day actionable operation and marketing templates.
With a few clicks, create codes to track events with the POS reporting function and open many opportunities to share marketing and sales and calculate the shares of revenues with dynamic, like-minded entrepreneurs.
Ask clients to sign up as guests in your App, offer info and promotions on custom products, new services, and events, unique specials for referral, or on set times/days to boost sales when needed.
Each new recipe, event, or service can be a social media post with a direct link to the recipe and or event in your App instead of gaining "friends or followers" you can't connect with.
Gaining clients using social media for independent entrepreneurs is pricey, $50 to $90 each, plus the cost of the incentive offered to gain their attention.
Partner with a local food service or make your specialty, offer a complimentary special aperitif or appetizer with a retail value of up to $15 might cost you $4, which is very cost-efficient to any operator and makes the client feel special and appreciated, and open to more communications from you and your staff.
At the bottom of every service or product page are popular social media icons for visitors to share your good news with their friends and family quickly and easily, like reposting your posts.
Each page provides a quick overview of the tasks to be completed, along with follow-up actions and events scheduled at least six weeks in advance. Having planned events allows us to engage with local publications with a seasonal schedule of publishing topics.
To succeed in marketing, you need to be agile and adaptable. You can optimize your marketing strategies by streamlining them from your in-app email database, ensuring all your contacts receive your posts and promotions.
and English is the default. You can quickly add products and services in 1, 2, or all languages that benefit your business.
Click on the "Select languages" menu from the Admin page to open the dropdown.
The first language selected with the green checkmark will be the default language. Therefore, the App will always be available in this language.
Selecting other languages with the blue checkmark as optional choices will display a dropdown menu on the home/welcome page so your clients can choose their preferred language feature to expand service to multiple audiences for resorts with a global clientele to take advantage of conventions with a worldwide audience.
To add a language, open App App in the language to add, and you will notice the header and button are already in the language selected
only to add the title on the welcome page, the information on the About page, and the products and services using the same steps as when crafting using the primary language.
