Quality of Listings Feedback

Are you or your client's looking for a restaurant business opportunity or location? Have you used the free Search Tool at RestaurantBizOps.com? Can you reply to this e-mail newsletter and let us know your opinion of the quality of the results you are getting in finding listings? Are the listings current?

RestaurantBizOps.com can be a valuable tool in finding restaurant businesses and locations that are available - but only if the listings are current. Should you ever enquire about a listing and the Seller/Landlord or Intermediary is not responsive - please let us know. We can then make the listing inactive so other people looking for opportunities will be less likely to run into inactive or incorrect listings. Thank you in advance for helping us improve our data base of available restaurant opportunities.

Would you like free press for your intermediary firm?

RestaurantBizOps.com is always looking for quality content relevant to restaurant business opportunities. As a “Resource Center” for people looking for restaurant opportunities and locations we not only offer a listing exchange but also education, advice, and information.

Are you an intermediary with advice to offer on finding a business or location? Negotiating a lease? Issues related to restaurant site locations? If so, we would be happy to feature your article with a link to your email and website.

Are you a principal with a “war story” others may learn from? Send us your story. Other restaurant owners will appreciate it.

RestaurantBizOps.com still growing by leaps and bounds.

It couldn’t be a better time complete a search for a restaurant opportunity or post a listing at RestaurantBizOps.com. Account creation is up 23.4% from last MONTH and form submittals to contact principals and intermediaries who have posted listings are up 52.3% from last MONTH. Better yet, beginning with next month we shall have a whole new site with vastly expanded features including Sales Price, City, and State sorting at the search results level.

Sincerely,
Jack

What separates your listing from others?

If you are not getting the traffic you would like to the restaurant opportunity(s) you posted than hang in there. This is a two way street and we are working extremely hard to increase the traffic to the site of qualified buyers and tenants. You can help by making sure your listings are current and feature rich.

Remember, it’s the benefits that prospects are most interested in – not the features.

Try thinking about the following when writing your listing copy.

Feature: Benefit

Feature:350 seats - Benefit Statement: This 350 seat restaurant can finally achieve the sales you want by not limiting your sales.

Feature: Open since 1966 -Benefit Statement: Opened in 1966, the goodwill this restaurant has created is ready to be picked up with the energy of a new owner. Quick increases in sales can be expected when the word goes out – but you will only pay now the existing sales.

Feature: Owner Retiring -Benefit Statement: Owner retiring but will train the right buyer. Ask about an “Earn Out” of price based on future guarantees of sales.

Get the idea? We are in the process of building a web page with free downloads of guides and books to help you write ad copy, headlines, and classifieds for RestaurantBizOps.com (or anywhere you are placing ads). This page is still in a rough stage but one book is ready already. The first book, of many, is posted at http://restaurantbizops.com/help-writing-restaurant-listings.htm Download “Great Headlines Instantly” for free as our guest. Next month we will post “Classified Magic” and “Secrets to Creating Killer Ads That Sell” in order to help you post listings that generate more leads. Let us know what you think
