For Chef Philippe Garand, starting his own café-restaurant was an opportunity to create something of his own after years of giving his very best to hotels and restaurants. 🙌🥐 Since opening Chef Philippe in April last year, his restaurant’s clientele has grown steadily, supported by loyal customers and boosted by Business Link Pacific (BLP) assistance delivered through Business Assistance Fiji (BAF). Thanks to BLP’s subsidies, the cost of the BLP approved advisor, Pacific Islands Online Solutions, was made more affordable for Chef Philippe. Expert advice provided the business with: ✅A digital marketing strategy ✅Brand guidelines ✅Social media & Google profiles setup ✅Professional photography & videography for several months of content ✅Website enhancements ✅Three months of high-frequency social media management, including campaign planning, content creation, posting, and reporting. The impact was immediate and powerful. Booking increased substantially after investing in media and marketing, and these days, up to 80 % of these bookings are from social media. 👀Read more about Chef Philippe’s story on the BLP site here: https://about.businesslinkpacific.com/fiji-chef-philippes-recipe-for-success/ Are you looking to strengthen your business this year?
