CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - March 07, 2016) - Brandmuscle local marketing expert and Chief Strategy Officer Clarke Smith will help restaurant owners and managers boost their local marketing efforts by presenting practical advice from the company's recent State of Local Marketing Report this week.
Smith's presentation is Tuesday, March 8 at 10:45 a.m. at the Midwest Foodservice Expo, which takes place March 7 - 9 at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee.
"We're pleased Reinhart Foodservice, an event sponsor and Brandmuscle client, has invited us to share our knowledge of the local marketing landscape with restaurant operators and bar owners," said Smith. "The proliferation of new media -- primarily digital and social media -- has left many small business owners spinning their wheels when it comes to marketing. Our research complemented with real-world examples will show attendees how to focus on marketing strategies and tactics that will bring hungry and thirsty diners through their doors and keep them coming back for more."
Based on a national survey of more than 850 small businesses, Brandmuscle's State of Local Marketing Report reveals trends, challenges and opportunities in local marketing. Smith's presentation at the Midwest Foodservice Expo will highlight findings from the research that help explain the rapidly changing media landscape and provide restaurant operators actionable examples of local marketing they can use to grow their business.
"As the leading local marketing software and service company, we help more than half a million small businesses execute local marketing each year," Smith said of Brandmuscle. "We're excited to share our expertise on behalf of Reinhart and help more brands and small businesses capitalize on the movement to 'buy local.'"
