A Simple, Instant Way To Get Customers In The Door with Twitter

5 January 2010 by barblog, 4 Comments


The Bodega in Columbus, Ohio is  an eatery, a bar, a carry-out, and a coffee shop all rolled into one.

It’s your corner store with a little bit of everything, a casual, neighborhood shop that is reflective of it’s location and its atmosphere. And they use Twitter. They use Twitter very well. They talk to their customers, mention when they have tapped a new keg or barrel of whiskey, share cocktail picks and keep their followers (800 of them) updated on upcoming promotions and the results of past successful events.

As a neighborhood bar, their customer base is nearby and they use Twitter take advantage of this. Below you will see a screenshot of a recent push to get people in the door:

Cost of the promotion? A couple of dollars. Involvement with the community and clever creative promoting? Priceless.

Is there something similar that you could do in your bar?

    Nice post. . .this sort of tweet is pretty powerful. You can really track impact when the only outlet is twitter or facebook or whatever. We tweet for several NEO restaurants and it’s a very interesting little niche.
