MP TV with Matt Plapp

In this episode of MP TV, we take another look at the importance of telling your story! I kick this episode with a saying that Guy Fieri recently told me: "Music sounds different when you know the story of the band, and food tastes better when you know where it came from". That quote has stuck with me for a couple of months now and I think it's time we explain how useful it can be for your restaurant or business! Tell Your Story! 

It's that time of year again... Football Season. The question is: How can you capitalize on the NFL season to get more people in your restaurant? The answer is not yelling at your customers to come eat at your restaurant and watch the game because they already know you have pizza, wings, and beer. The answer is ENGAGEMENT in the comment section! Get your audience talking in the comment section about this Sunday's game, and ask them who they think will win. Building off of this you should be doing something for every segment in your market, and not everyone is interested in the NFL, but luckily for you, there are more opportunities to engage.
