Did you know Instagram will be celebrating its 8th birthday in October and has over 800 million monthly active users? Does your business have an account? Well, if the answer is No, then you should certainly think about adding this to your ‘to-do’ list.

Instagram is an accurate way to market your hospitality business as what you are selling is highly visual, your environment, furniture, accessories and menu offerings will all look good on camera. It doesn’t matter how big or small your business is.

Think of Instagram as your electronic chalkboard, a mobile vehicle to advertise all the elements of your business in an easy way – and best of all its free! From special offers and events to seasonal menus and quirky accessories, Instagram is your online shop window available to your customers and prospects 24/7 365 days a year.

Our Chalk A Boards are the perfect way for you to advertise that your business is on Instagram.  These heavy duty and fully weather resistant accessories make a stylish addition to your outdoors.  Why not run a competition on your Chalk A Board, with a voucher prize for your 100th Instagram follower for example?

Showcasing photos of exactly what is on your menu is a creative way to ‘hook’ customers in and tantalise their taste-buds into coming in to visit you.

Instagram doesn’t have to be time-consuming. There are many free software apps such as Buffer and Hootsuite you can use to automate the content you share.

Instagram also provides useful analytics on your content, letting you know who your typical Instagram users are, how their age bracket and the most popular day and time are for your followers to read your content. This is valuable information for you to ensure your content is always relevant, engaging and targeted.

Our Gabion Table & Bench Set is an innovative and aesthetically pleasing set that is sure to give your outdoor space the wow factor. Nobody will be able to resist taking a photo of this handsome handcrafted unit.

Your customers will soon become ‘snap happy’ taking photos of your glorious outdoor space and tagging your account with hashtags to help ‘fellow foodies’ to discover what you have on offer.
