Twitter/Facebook/Yelp

As I stated previously, I have been working with Qwestand social media.  I have been having a lot of fun checking out comments and posts via facebook and twitter.  Last week my Qwestblogging coach suggested that I offer a free meal to our 300th fan on facebook.  Well early last week, we got fan #300!!  It was so exciting to be able to offer him a free meal.  Every Saturday and Sunday morning I log into facebook and post our specials for the day.  I love to get requests on facebook suggesting something new.  Just a couple of weeks ago a customer posted a request for Eggs Benedict.  Since we don’t offer hollandaise everyday, I wanted to make sure it was available to her and her family that was traveling from out of town.  Her and her family were please and commented on facebook their thanks.  I wasn’t aware how big social media had become until I started working with Qwest!  I also have been experiencing a little with Twitter, although it’s new to me, it’s a lot of fun signing in and responding to the awesome comments people have been leaving.  Without Qwest, I am not sure how long it would have taken me to get on board with Twitter.  When it comes to Yelp, I anxiously await customers comments of our restaurant.  It gives me the opportunity to see how people liked their experience and if there were any problems, how I can correct them.  It is very helpful using these different social media websites to try and build business with people who are unaware of the Day By Day Cafe.
