Asian markets: why your Google profile matters.
People drive a long way to a good Asian market and check before they leave. A Google Business Profile with current hours, this week's arrivals and photos of the aisles tells them the trip is worth it.
Asked by Asian markets and grocery stores.
What should an Asian grocery store post on social media?
Fresh arrivals, weekly specials with prices, what is hot at the deli, holiday stock for Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, and short explanations of ingredients. Post arrivals the morning they come in.
Which social media is best for an Asian market?
Facebook and Google Business Profile. Regulars follow weekly specials on Facebook, and Google brings in people searching for an Asian grocery nearby. Instagram suits produce and deli photos.
Can the posts be in more than one language?
Yes. Your assistant drafts in the language you write to it in, so you can ask for English alongside Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean or another language, and approve the version you want.
Can I schedule holiday posts ahead?
Yes. Tell the assistant the date and what is in stock, and the post is scheduled. You can move or cancel it later by asking. For example: “Hot from the deli: roast duck and char siu until sold out”.
Stock the shelves. We'll handle the posting.
