UPshow Spreads #Foodporn and #Beerporn to Bars, Restaurants and Breweries Across the Nation

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Nov. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- #Foodporn: Over 100 million Instagram posts have been tagged with this eye-catching hashtag.

Why? Because society's most active content creator, Everyone, loves to share pictures of what they ate, where they ate it and who they ate it with.

UPshow, a new TV-powered social marketing program, has taken over the social marketing industry in the Food & Bev space by turning this MUST SHARE behavior into increased customer referrals and additional revenue for their partner venues. Business owners have discovered that this type of digital word of mouth is invaluable to organically growing their business, and the innovative platform is doing all the work for them.

According to Nielsen research, 92% of consumers trust word-of-mouth recommendations from a friend over any other form of advertising. Each time a customer posts #foodporn from a restaurant, that business is getting a free promotional advertisement to that customer's entire social following. The value of these authentic customer posts is incomparable to social media posts made by the business itself.

UPshow is built to amplify this consumer behavior for a business - whether the photo boasts #foodporn, groups of friends partying, family fun or any other shareable moment. It is a plug & play digital signage solution that is powered by the venue's existing TVs - simply switch the input with the TVs remote. It takes a customer's "look at me" social media moment and turns it into an "I'M ON TV!" experience within the venue, while also featuring the business's own branding. This excitement inspires more customer-generated content than ever before.

More organic customer posts with #foodporn = more exposure = more awareness = more customers. Simple solution.

The elegance of this marketing tool is that it aligns with current customer behavior rather than beg to download a third party app. Customer takes a picture, posts it to preferred social media platform, hashtags it with the business' branded hashtag and loves the instant gratification of appearing on screen. The business gains loyalty and can now leverage these authentic endorsements to reach hundreds - or even thousands - of new potential customers.

To help businesses increase #foodporn and all types of customer-generated content, UPshow has published its Guide to Transforming Customers Into Promoters (http://www.upshow.tv/blog/2016/11/8/top-5-tips-to-transfo...), which features actionable ideas for any type of business.
