Week #9 Blog 1A
Twitter generated a narrow scope of search results, when looking up key words. My initial key
word search results for “gyros” didn’t provided local businesses or user
accounts. Majority of results were out of state and irrelevant to my keywords search
ability. I decided to use the filters to see if I would have better luck
optimizing my home location. After selecting local filters and to change
location, and exact words to provide more accurate results I was provided with
dialed in results. For example; I searched Gyros a broad term, this generated
tweets from any user who had used this word on posting, not very accurate. Then
I changed the perimeters to narrow the search results to local businesses who
sold gyros at their location. My second search criteria was for Greek Food
Trucks, this provided some local businesses in San Diego County. I used the
advanced search filter to used field exact words, and was provided with many
local companies whom, didn’t appear on the first search results. When I search
for business resources I located Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, Kronos Foods,
and San Diego Farmers Market networks.
My
first list created is called vendors/distributors, entails food distributors,
and Greek restaurant competitors, which I will monitor. Kronos is link in which
I have listed as Distributor who carries assortment of Mediterranean inspired
foods. They have many customizable solutions for retail and business customers.
Many of their products are organic and naturally farmed which is critical toward
establishing the integrity of our brand. Imperative to continue to follow my
competitors to better understand our target market. Luna Grill and Food of
Greek both share common value of providing fresh healthy ingredients. Both
companies have built unique reputation amongst the community they serve and
have strong following. I have also examined some of the special offers and
freebies that their guests can take advantage of on twitter. Offering quality
content blogs, images and videos bridges relationship of trust and increases
direct following has been key to these to business platforms success. Providing
relevant links and finding new ways to improve customer service separates best
from worst establishments.
My second list Local Business
Resources consists of Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, Local Farmers Markets, and
Carlsbad Food Tours. Chamber of Commerce is excellent tool to establish working
relationships with other local businesses. Their website provides content for
local events, news, local affiliations, and membership clubs. Advertising and e
newsletter are major draw for Niccos Gyros is to market our products and
services in our home base of Carlsbad CA. San Diego Farmers Market is resource
that we are considering selling our Gyros. This event is weekly and receives
substantial numbers of foot traffic. We are on the waiting list as food vendor,
look forward to promoting our products and telling our story. For my business
the optimal time to publish tweets will be late morning and early afternoon.
Our menu is based around lunch and dinner hours of the day. Our main product
line is our gyro wraps, in lamb, steak and chicken. Attracting hungry guests
early in the day showcasing what makes our brand special from our competition.
