As I'm writing this; Facebook has just launched its IPO and garnered over $100 billion in investment capital on its opening day. That is crazy. I can barely wrap my head around the idea.
You know what else is hard to understand? When bar owners keep telling me that social media is a fad and it isn't useful for them as a marketing tool. That is crazy. I can barely wrap my head around the idea.
Saying that Facebook can't help you market your bar or restaurant should be reserved only for people that have more business than they can handle every day. I can think of less than 5 places like that in the world. Funny thing, those places have active Facebook pages.
Most bars and restaurants do use Facebook one way or another. Most of them have a page of some type, and put a picture or logo on it. They even update it sometimes with menu offerings or promotions and "that" is about the extent of it for "most bars and restaurants."
