<p>Social media has taken over the food industry in an unprecedented way. Not only in our lives and how we connect with people, but in the way we consume advertisements. Big platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube, have seen a massive surge of restaurants and takeaways which employ marketing and social media managers to promote themselves. The most popular social media platforms have at least 2 billion active users.</p>
    <p><H3>Social Media advantages</H3></p>
    <p>How, may you ask, can a restaurant or takeaway use social media to its advantage? There are several ways, and it begins with them creating their own business social media profile. From here, they have a profile available both on the web and app and can start using this to offer coupons online, write blogs, host social media related events, host podcasts and contests and ultimately target more customers and increase sales.</p>
    <p><H3>Social Media Statistics</H3></p>
    <p>The statistics show how successful social media campaigns are and the fact that revenue is driven by social media in the food industry.</p>
    <ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
        <li>71% of customers are more likely to recommend a business that responds to them quickly on social media.</li>
        <li>Customer service can be very important and social media is a low-cost way to handle queries.</li>
        <li>People born between 1981-2012, Gen Z and Millennials, are 99% more likely to rely on social media and online reviews than older generations. This proves that the younger generation is mostly able to be reached through social media.</li>
        <li>Almost 3 in 4 consumers have used Facebook profiles for businesses, based on their various images and comments shared by others, to decide on where they are going to spend their money. This is a huge proportion of the market.</li>
    </ul>
    <p><H3>Mealzo</H3></p>
    <p>There are now over 50 million small and medium-sized businesses that now use social media profiles to connect with their customers.

Mealzo - Social Media Marketing for Takeaways and Restaurants

        The Edinburgh and Glasgow Foodies Festivals transformed the city parks into culinary havens!
    </p>
    
    <p>
        Mealzo had a brilliant time at the Edinburgh and Glasgow Foodies Festivals over the first two weekends of August. From the moment we set up our stand, we were inundated with enthusiastic visitors eager to explore the festival's offerings, from the delicious food and drinks to the exciting activities and cooking classes. Whether you were after mouthwatering Caribbean dishes, juicy lobster rolls, or ice-cold mocktails, both festivals had something for everyone. With performances from big acts such as Blue, Peter Andre, and Scouting for Girls, as well as local favourites, the parks were filled with excited visitors from opening to closing every day.

    <p>
        We had a great time offering everyone the opportunity to 'Spin To Win' our promotional wheel to win excellent prizes! Festival goers from all over the UK joined us to try their luck, with queues forming rapidly. Those who won walked away with sunglasses, water bottles, travel mugs, sweets, and more! It was inspiring to see so many people engaging with Mealzo and their interest in our merchandise, receiving nothing but positive feedback all weekend. Many consumers also stated they'd switch to Mealzo when ordering their next takeaway, knowing what we offer and stand for.

    <p>
        As the UK's largest zero-commission online food ordering platform, Mealzo was proud to be involved in both weekends, demonstrating the best food Scotland's central belt had to offer. It was fantastic meeting so many new faces, as well reconnecting with our wonderful existing customers. We had great conversations under the bright summer sun, celebrating our love for good food together with exclusive discounts and spreading the word about our partners in their communities.
