What started as a small group of friends talking about where to get great takeout food during the first lockdown of Covid 19, has grown into a community of 50,000+ great people who believe in supporting local restaurants, wineries, breweries etc., and sharing their experiences in a positive environment on social media and beyond.
As business owners in the Niagara hospitality industry, my team and I have directly felt the negative impacts of Covid 19, but we have also experienced the great power of engaging with passionate local food and drink lovers through organic marketing online.
We have been able to learn how important community engagement is, how low cost (or no cost!) organic marketing can reach a lot of people, and how powerful an online community can be. We are not a rating site by choice: We are interested in knowing where to go for dinner and drinks, rather than where not to go. We believe in sharing positive experiences and addressing concerns with business owners directly offline.
Watching businesses being saved, grown and started during a pandemic through the huge support of our Niagara community has filled our hearts and has inspired us. We are grateful to our volunteer admins who continue to monitor a 100% positive environment in our Facebook groups. These groups provide businesses and customers the opportunity to build real connections. As a group member you have the opportunity to learn about local businesses and to get to know staff and owners before you ever even arrive in Niagara: imagine walking into a restaurant, knowing the owner, the foods that are a must try on the menu and the local beverage that you just have to try with dinner … on your very first visit!! We are very excited to continue to grow this community, and if you are a business owner who would like to get a bit of help to tap more into the powers of organic marketing, we would love to hear from you.
There are a lot of people waiting to learn more about you and your business! We feel that our journey of showcasing Niagara’s great eats and drinks has just begun, but we know one thing for certain: When in Niagara… do as the locals do!
