Livebookings hosts first Academy event in Manchester

12th May 2010, 11:21am

Livebookings, the online marketing and reservations service provider for the restaurant industry, is holding its first Academy in Manchester on 8th June.

The event will give attendees advice on the essential online marketing tools to help them attract new customers.

Those attending the event will also learn about how to turn their website into a profit generating machine, the basics of social media such as Twitter and how to use third party websites such as Manchester based company Sugarvine, to get optimum exposure for their restaurant. 

At the end of the event, there will be opportunities to talk with others working within the industry and put questions to the speakers.

Livebookings works with restaurants in 23 countries including Strada, Carluccio's, Gordon Ramsay Holdings, Michael Caines at Gidleigh Park, KRO and Radisson Edwardian Manchester among many.

Speakers at the session include Andrew Blyth at Sugarvine and Magnus Hultburg, Strategic Advisor for Livebookings.

Olivia FitzGerald, Livebookings UK and Ireland general manager, said: "A restaurant often underestimates the power of the internet. As the most inexpensive and measurable marketing tool available today, email marketing can build the brand of a restaurant, improve customer loyalty and boost bottom line profits by increasing booking levels.

"This Academy aims to help restaurateurs understand the importance of online marketing, and will offer some tricks and techniques to help generate covers."
