#saveCTrestaurants

Picture
The "12 Days of Foodie Giveaways" is now live! Visit CT Bites or Eat IN for entry instructions!

#saveCTrestaurants is a statewide marketing campaign to help restaurants, catering/events, and all related businesses to communicate the impact the pandemic has had on your business. Through this campaign, businesses will share on their social media either a photo or a video message, tagging the campaign hashtags (see below).

The objective of this campaign is to capture the attention of the State and of our local communities to share the “real story” of what our industry is facing, how this has impacted you personally and the support our industry so desperately needs to survive. 

We encourage you to share the real and gritty reality of your situation. We do however ask that you refrain from using any threatening language.
Step 1: CREATE A PHOTO OR VIDEO

Impact Video
Record a short video expressing how the pandemic has impacted your business. To maximize engagement on social media platforms, we suggest you keep the video to 30 seconds or less.  Example speaking points in file link above.

Impact Photo (example photos in file link above)
Take a photo of yourself, your team, your restaurant while holding up a sign that makes a statement <ie. #savectrestaurants, “I laid off 40% of my workforce,” “I might have to close my doors soon,” “Please support us and our restaurant families.”> Feel free to use any white piece of paper with black lettering on it. 

Step 2:  SHARE YOUR PHOTO OR VIDEO ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM

PROPOSED CONTENT:
  • Please help us #saveCTrestaurants by sharing this post
  • Add in a simple statement that shares the reality of your situation
