Current Social media
Facebook- The Facebook page has 12,790 likes and
almost half a million views at 454,213. This will be the
strongest social media outlet Max’s Restaurant has to
use to accomplish these goals.
The foreground photo is showcasing food, but the photos
are too small to get a clear view of the food. This space
should be used for showcasing one item at a time,
drawing attention to specific dishes.
The most recent posts are relevant to the brand, but
there is a lack of more personal pictures.
Besides from pictures right off the menu there are not
enough family photos, or photos of the actual locations
that there could be.
Besides it being a mascot suit, Chickie Boy can possibly
be marketed beyond just a suit. It can be a graphic used
for posts referencing children events.
There are no posts of reviews from review sites such as
“Yelp” showing real testimonies of the positive
experiences had.
Twitter- With a strong following of 3,634 people, there is
potential for Max’s Restaurant to distribute money to
create PPC advertisements on Twitter.
Profile picture can be updated to a higher quality image.
(Compare to Facebook profile picture)
Foreground photo is great; the resolution with the
relevant tagline looks good.
Tweets in different language are interesting and can be
an idea that is developed further, but it isn’t
understandable to those that do not speak the language,
so they overlook it, tweets should be singling out too
many viewers.

Posts with nothing but a link is not executed correctly,
with everything else on my screen, what makes me want
to click this unknown link?
More photos are needed of customers in the actual
restaurant enjoying the food Max’s Restaurant is known
for.
No posts seen of Max’s restaurant supporting military in
which is an important part of Max’s Restaurant’s story.
Instagram- Currently there are 3021 followers so there is
a good sized following so far. The Instagram account is
the closest of all three social media accounts to be the
most personal and welcoming. With various photos of
families enjoying their time at Max’s Restaurant, it makes
viewers want to visit the nearest location.
It strongly supports and promotes the Filipino culture
through its photos.
Previously mentioned for the Twitter account, posting a
caption with a photo in only a foreign language alienates
those who do not speak the language, so they do not
engage with the post. This idea can be developed further
so it includes the translation, or shorter phrases that can
be explained in English as well.
Bio can briefly explain How Max’s Restaurant came to be
which is more engaging then just the tagline when there
is much more room to express the brand better.
