Cafes, Restaurants Can Use Social Media To Improve Business
With more and more people looking to the internet to find a restaurant, bar, club or winery to visit, it’s crucial for hospitality businesses to jump on the social media wagon
Social media is particularly important for hospitality, as people generally look to their peers when they’re seeking new experiences.
Ben Fuller, chief operations officer of hospitality software and consultants ImPOS, said 45% of small hospitality businesses were active on social media last year, it was time for the rest to get on board before they got left behind.
“People want to know that the place they’re going to try is going to meet their expectations or give them the experience they want. That’s the primary reason they turn to social media. On the other side of things, businesses should use social media because it improves their Google search ranking," Fuller said.

Facebook Posts 53% Jump In Ad Revenue
Facebook continues to drive home revenue thanks to mobile advertising, with the social media giant recording significant growth during the final quarter of 2016
According to Facebook’s fourth-quarter results, advertising revenue was up a whopping 53 per cent to US$8.63 billion, with mobile advertising accounting for 84 per cent of all ad revenue – up 5 per cent on the previous corresponding period in 2015.
The massive boost in ad revenue drove Facebook’s total revenue for the last quarter of 2016 up 51 per cent to US$8.81 billion.
The results come after a new report found that social platforms such as Facebook generate most of their ad revenue from native advertising, and will continue to dominate overall native ad spending through 2021 – particularly native video ads.
These statistics are a strong indication of how powerful Facebook is in regards to advertising and managing your business' branding.

Facebook Updates News Feed Algorithm to Focus on Authentic and Timely Content
Just when you think you’re working it out, Facebook switches things up again
Facebook has announced another News Feed algorithm update – four days after their last update – though, to be fair, this one has an entirely different purpose.
The update focuses on giving more precedence to “authentic and timely stories”, which is aligned with Facebook’s wider efforts to combat the spread of fake news, the first measures of which they outlined last month.
Andrew Hutchinson from Social Media Today has summarised Facebook's algorithm updates, giving an overview of their potential impacts.
- New Signals to Identify Authentic Content
- Updates to Real-Time Signals
- Marketing Impacts

Will Facebook Start Taking TV Ad Dollars Too?
In this article from The Week, its economics and business correspondent Jeff Spross, argues Zuckerberg’s Curse (AKA Facebook) is fast moving its business to video and that could mean bad news for TV networks’ ad coffers…
(Please note this article is written from the perspective of the US market)
It should have been a great moment of triumph for Facebook. Instead, the social network’s stock took a precipitous nosedive.

Facebook Releases New Report on Brand Loyalty and Millennials
One of the main reasons Millennials are often tagged as being harder to reach because they don’t display the same brand loyalty as generations that have come before them. But is that actually true - are Millennials less aligned to brands? And if so, what factors do they consider in their purchase process?
Facebook recently sought to answer this, surveying 14,700 adults in the US in order to analyze the state of brand loyalty across five specific sectors: Auto Insurance, Airlines, Hotels, Grocery and Restaurants.
Their research showed that 77% of people are considered brand loyal, returning to the same brands over and over again. Of these, 37% make repeat purchases and are loyal to a company – Facebook tagged this group as “Brand Loyalists” - while 40% make repeat purchases but are not necessarily ‘loyal’. Facebook tagged this second category “Repeat Purchasers”.
