Overview of getting started with Toast Email Marketing.
Email Marketing is the most important component of your restaurant marketing arsenal and can generate up to $2,800 in sales per campaign with email marketing*. Why? First, according to the Direct Marketing Association, email marketing has a 4,300% ROI (return on investment). Also, 86% of U.S. adults would like to receive promo emails at least monthly from brands they trust. Email is a direct link to your existing customer base. Despite the benefits, only 18% of restaurant owners are engaging in email marketing campaigns, according to Benchmark.
*Based on past performance of restaurants using email marketing in Q3 and Q4 of 2021. The $2,800 represents the average increase in sales in the 14 days following an email sent via email marketing. The average open rate for emails sent via email marketing is approximately 39%. Individual results will vary.
To setup email marketing, follow the steps below:
Note: The email entered will be guest-facing.
Enter your social media profile URLs once and have them automatically included as linked icons in the footer of all your email campaigns. This is similar to how other restaurant information, such as logo and address, is pulled into each email. This feature saves time while editing your emails and helps restaurants properly represent and foster their brand through email marketing.
Note: Use the drop-down menu to select your locations for multi-management locations.
Save and publish your changes.
