Successful Ingredients For Graphic Design & Restaurant Marketing

Marketing your restaurant means developing a taste-bud-tempting menu, easily recognizable logo, user friendly – and mobile-friendly – website, image-laden social media channels, and a good relationship with local foodies. As much as restaurant marketing relies on a combination of marketing ingredients like your menu, ambiance, and reputation, word-of-mouth advertising can also make or break your reputation.

When people like your food and your environment, they tell their family and friends – they also tell them when they don’t like it. As a restauranteur, you know the importance of plating and presentation. It enhances the meal by adding to its appeal. Just like in the delicious dishes you turn out, one of the main factors in the success of these ingredients is the way they’re combined and presented. You can tell your ideal consumers about your restaurant in a million different ways – but you’ll find better success when you tell them about it in ways that are particularly palatable for them.

That’s where the new and exciting MyDprint comes in. Our exciting new website is ready for you with dynamic new tools and a simplified design process. Start the design process with two key components – knowledge of your target market and how to reach them and understanding of your type of restaurant and its best marketing methods and avenues. Marketing and promotion look one way for a fast-food restaurant and look entirely different for a fine dining establishment. Knowing where you fit in the mind of your ideal diner makes it so much easier to reach and appeal to them. Without that critical understanding, marketing can go haywire, move in the wrong direction, or completely miss its intended mark.

The online and print marketing you choose for your restaurant can rely on a number of elements to reach its audience in its own way. Consider the following similar events and how they look in different restaurant settings. Then imagine how the marketing and branding around each of these events will vary.

• Food photography can be based on a fast-food value meal or an elegantly plated five-course dinner
• Tastings can mean choosing dippable chicken sauces or selecting entrees and desserts for wedding and special event banquets
• Hosting live events might mean children’s birthday parties or it might mean small business networking events
• Restaurant marketing can help you reach people in your restaurant’s immediate area or it can help you reach a new geographic market
