How To Promote Your
Food Truck
The experience did, however, give me a different perspective that challenged the expected “norm” that I’d find if I just read news headlines.
How To Get More Business For My Food Truck
If you are launching a new food truck and your wondering how am I ever going to get people to find me then this article is right for you. We have created an easy to do list for new entrepreneurs that will kick start your marketing efforts in the right direction.
Do you have a facebook?
Facebook is a great place to start for food trucks. Facebook pages allow you to create events on your page and boost them with a little money to a defined audience. When you boost an event it also gives people an opportunity to like your page.
Create an event ahead of time for any festival or food truck friday event your attending. Tell people what time and location you will be serving food. Even if it isn’t a festival and your just going to “pop up” in a busy park then create the event at least a day or two ahead of time.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy Instagram!!!
Instagram is a great way to attract foodies! I mean who doesn’t look at amazing food on Instagram and and want to go eat it!!! If you are a food truck getting people to post on instagram your amazing food can be great for marketing! The cheapest form of marketing is word of mouth marketing and serving great food to your customers is the best way to get it.
When you post on instagram make sure to include tags such as #foodtrucks and post a picture of your location and geo tag the picture when you upload it. This will make finding you easier and drive local business to you.
Share Your Location!!!
Sharing your location is key when it comes to having a mobile kitchen. Making sure your loyal customers will know when and where you will be is another huge part of a successfull marketing campaign. One way of updating your location throughout social media is a food truck app and marketing platform called truckily.

Printed Menu’s and Flyers
Printed menus and flyers are a great way for people who might be passing by to take a menu to go. Sometimes people driving by may just smell your food and want more information. Having a well designed menu with your social profiles, website, or contact information will make it easier for customers to connect beyond a single transaction.
A well designed menu or flyer also gives them a chance to look at the rest of what you offer. Most people can’t absorb everything you can cook or offer them in a few minutes. Plus if they get hungry and kept your menu they won’t have to go searching through a website or online reviews to see if you have what they are craving.
These are just a few things you can do to get jump started on marketing your food truck. If you are looking for any type of affordable design or marketing services then give one of our marketing Ninjas a call!.
