Pain Points
Richmond Station, a vibrant restaurant located in the bustling downtown core, owned by renowned Top Chef Canada Winner Carl Heinrich, sought to elevate its online presence to reflect its brand's authentic and organic essence. While the restaurant enjoyed a constant influx of satisfied customers, Carl recognized the need to extend the restaurant's energy and lively atmosphere into the digital realm. He approached Bold x Collective, a trusted provider of comprehensive digital marketing solutions, to address this challenge.
Goals and Objectives
The primary goal was to establish an authentic and engaging online presence for Richmond Station, aligning it with the restaurant's unique subway-themed concept and its commitment to exceptional hospitality. Carl Heinrich aimed to capture the attention of his target audience and encourage them to consume and engage with the restaurant's online content actively. Bold x Collective embarked on a thorough research phase to achieve these objectives.
How Bold x Collective Helped
Bold x Collective initiated the project by conducting extensive research on successful strategies employed by other restaurants and industry-related businesses. This research was a foundation for developing a tailored social media strategy resonating with Richmond Station's desired audience. The subsequent social media audit delved into all relevant platforms, scrutinizing various aspects such as content types, optimal posting times, practical hashtag usage, geotagging, engagement levels, and compelling captions. Additionally, the evaluation extended to analyzing the utilization of stories and short-form content, pinpointing ways to captivate and drive action from the audience.
The resulting strategy was divided into two core components. First, a comprehensive social media strategy was devised, focusing on the best content types to share, leveraging timing and geotagging techniques, optimizing captions to boost engagement, and harnessing the power of short-form content, including stories, to pique interest and drive audience participation. Furthermore, Bold x Collective revealed its insider knowledge of running giveaways and promotions to enhance audience engagement.
In the second part of the strategy, the focus shifted to optimizing the implementation of Facebook ads within Richmond Station's social media strategy. Bold x Collective provided valuable insights on the most effective ad formats, ensuring optimum return on investment (ROI) by maximizing engagement and reducing ad-spend. Moreover, the team recommended utilizing targeted ads to promote seasonal or monthly specials, effectively increasing foot traffic during specific periods.
