My name is Erik Shellenberger and I’ve been in the restaurant industry since I was 13 years old working for the food and beverage dept. of a local ski resort that my mother controlled. I’ve been in the bar and restaurant marketing business for a decade and have mastered every skill associated with marketing bars and restaurants. I’ve been a graphic designer and a web designer for almost 10 years, I’ve been in charge of social media and networking almost as long. After years of research, Reputation Management and SEO for Bars & Restaurants is what I now focus on.I’ve acted as a one-man marketing dept. for a chain of Country themed bar/ restaurants with 13 locations. I have created and headed up promotional approaches for some of the top performing nightclubs and bars in the Old Town Scottsdale Entertainment District.MY SECRET TO RESTAURANT & BAR SUCCESSReputation Management and SEO for Bars and Restaurants is key these days to driving traffic. Learn my secret of the guest count traffic pie chart and how to harness the power of reputation management, SEO and word of mouth. Learn how to no longer “hate” review sites like Yelp but to use them to your advantage. Dominate your competition in search engines and make sure your business is correct and relevant on mapping systems, GPS in the newer cars, and of course search engines like Google.I’ve appeared on several podcasts recently sharing my message and helping as many people as want to learn. My message of “Help others by being RUTHLESSLY self-serving” is one not to be missed! My passion is helping other people and businesses succeed which is by default, self-serving.WHEN THE STAFF WINS, YOU WINMy recent passion is understanding human nature and decoding what drives improved guest counts. I currently motivate the staff of my clients with talks aimed at improving tips and improving attitudes. When the staff is happy and making money, the business will make money as a side effect. When guest counts improve from this effect, traffic issues disappear. Contact me now about how I can help improve you guest counts.-Erik Shellenberger
