SpotOn helps you collect customer data for sending vouchers and emails, but also offers retargeting options to show advertisements via Facebook or Google to existing guests.
There are two options for re-targeting your visitors through advertisements; by means of the user export or by redirecting users to a web page that contains a Retargeting Pixel. By exporting you can use historical data, by forwarding to a web page you only have to set this up once and you automatically get this data in your retargeting program.
Why should you use Facebook ads for your restaurant?
Facebook is by far the most used social media channel in the world. Almost all your customers are on Facebook and a large part of them check Facebook several times a day.
Unlike the Facebook posts you share on your restaurant's public page, Facebook ads are viewed on average a hundred times more.
What kind of ads can I set up?
You can set ads to:
Promote an event with a direct call-to-action to make a reservation or purchase a ticket.
To promote a new menu.
Reward your loyal customers with an exclusive promotion.
