Restaurants, Twitter & Facebook: A Milwaukee Hotspot Loves the Social Thrill

by Mark Bingaman

Our buddy @ChrisBrogan turned us on to a Milwaukee restaurant chain that's taken to Social Media marketing with flourish. Chris recently posted a video interview he conducted with Joe Sorge, owner of 2 restaurants in Milwaukee, AJ Bombers and Water Buffalo. You'll find the link to the video at the bottom of this post.

Great information and inspiration from a restaurant owner who feels the power of social connection helping to build his business. In the video, he says the restaurant does its' best to keep the @AJBombers twitter and Facebook communities forefront with customers.

A check of the @Water_Buffalo Twitter profile showed 724 followers (obviously there's more work to be done there) but @AJBombers boasts 2,420 followers while the 'Bombers Facebook page displayed 900+ fans.

The restaurant also utilizes FourSquare, the burgeoning social community that rewards users of Social Media for visiting places of business.

Enjoy the interview and consider the thoughts of a hospitality entrepreneur investing in the Social Media opportunity.
