With that in mind, I have begun a Facebook campaign in the last couple of weeks. We currently have just over 300 ‘friends’, and that number is growing. I have been specifically sending friendship requests to people in our immediate area. They are our biggest potential for daily, repeat business, so that seems like a great place to start. Do we want to be friends with someone in Seattle? Sure, why not, but we are not going to see them walk through the front door, are we?
It is too early to tell if there has been any impact, but I’m going to keep at it and see what happens. It requires a little effort, but the price is exactly right! In this economy, we need to work every angle that we can to survive these lean times. Every single customer is highly important, and every new face that walks in the door is our key to surviving!
What I want to avoid is over-exposure. I don’t want people to ‘hide’ us, or ‘un-friend’ us because of a steady stream of insincere plugs for our business. I am trying to add a little bit of a personal touch to the posts, highlight the fact that we serve food, not just coffee, and especially to highlight the fact that our food is home-made! I am also adding freebies in the posts, just to keep everyone’s attention and to create some buzz. I want people to look forward to reading a Nemo’s post, not to scan past it without reading it!
Here is a sampling of some of my Facebook posts over the last couple of weeks...
We just made a fresh batch of chicken salad for lunch… We pressure cook and shred the chicken ourselves, so it is moist and tender. …not that stringy, fake-chicken stuff out of a can. Add some purple onion and craisins (both are optional), Provolone cheese, green leaf lettuce, and a little spice, and you have the makings of an amazing sandwich. Get yours on a croissant, or on organic sunflower wheat bread!
I smell fresh scones and muffins coming out of the oven. Yes, made here at Nemo's, from scratch!! Come to think of it, I also smell some amazing espresso headed for a large latte...
Nemo's is ready to make your lunch! Made to order sandwiches including Chicken Salad, Turkey/Bacon/Swiss/Avocado, Ham and cheese with home-made honey mustard spread, AWESOME burritos, HUGE salads with chicken, feta cheese, craisins, purple onion, sliced almonds and home-made cornbread scones...
Come to Nemo's... We can help!
As always, everything is home-made and made to order!! We put extra smiles in our food, just in case you need some for the afternoon.
James Baldrick is Nemo's 300th friend! I think that is worth a free coffee! Print this page out and bring it in for a free cup of java!! ...but only if you are James! LOL
