Best
Ways to List a Restaurant Opportunity at RestaurantBizOps.com
(
Standard
listings
are free
- but
you can
try our
Featured
listings
section
for $29.95
per month
with
a money
back
guaranteee)
1.) We still have "free" model
where your listing(s) can appear in the Standard Listings section
beneath the Featured Listings section. You also have the option of
funding your account for an investment of $29.95 per month. All your
listings will then appear in the Featured section. This is a super
advertising value. Login to your account at www.RestaurantBizOps.com
and click on "Add Funds" under your "My Listings".
Add a minimum of $29.95 to your account - which is your total monthly
investment for any number of listings. (Inclusive of all 2 of your
listings .) As an aside, remember under our current promotion you
get a 10% bonus of funding for any sums you deposit of $100.00 or
more. You can even cancel any time and receive a credit for the sums
remaining in your account.
2.) The headline of your listings need to be enticing. Don't use "code numbers" in
the heading of the listing as example. Make sure each header has a unique text
and when a contact form comes through match on the unique text, not a code number.
( You may even be able to set a "rule" with your e-mail to forward
the leads with a unique heading to a subfolder in your e-mail system with that
listing's code number. ) Check out:
http://www.restaurantbizops.com/help-writing-restaurant-listings.htm
where I have provided some free help in writing ads.
3.) Put your contact information in the body of the listing under the "Contact
Information" section. ( Try to make the contact information direct to the
listing agent if this works with your business model. ) In any event, give people
multiple choices in contacting you.
4.) Make sure you are using more than the first sub-header. All three subheader
names can be edited to what you prefer in the process of entering a listing -
and then write copy to match the subheader descriptions you want to display.
5.) Enter more parameters such as asking price, buyers discretionary
cash flow, square footage, and size of market, etc. The flyer looks
better and people will be able to find you easier. ( Enter the
city such as Memphis" in the city
field, versus Near Memphis, or Memphis (near). "City" is an exact match.
In the body of the listing mention "Near Memphis" to clarify..
6.) Put the listing agent's name, phone number, and e-mail address
in the "Contact
Information" section of the listing. Do not depend on the form submittal.

7.) Have your listing agent's provide photo(s) and then post up to three photos
for each listing.
8.) If you don't have a photo(s), still post some kind of (unique to each listing)
generic restaurant related type photos such as generic menu items. That way all
your listings will have some kind of photo.
9.) By doing the above I predict you will dramatically increase
your number of listing being opened up and the leads that result
- but by going to each listing in Account Management and entering
a dime or more at the top where it says "Current
Featured Listing Ranking Bid" all your listings will not only be in the
Featured section, but ALSO will be ranked at the top of this section. With the
right "bid" you can be listed first every time your listing(s) is displayed
in the Featured section. Your account will be debited an extra dime ( or the
amount of your bid ) - but ONLY if the listing header is clicked on. I can't
imagine this not making sense for your Return on Investment (ROI).
