If you have a bar – show the pictures of some cool drinks, post the video with the bartender show. If you have a pub with its own brewery.- show your potential clients –subscribers the pictures/ short video of the process how the beer is used to be prepared, this will raise their curiosity!Show you customers- what other restaurants, bars and pubs are not showing – such content gives more value to your business, then just posting – how awesome you are and that you have a discount!You can even post interview with your satisfied clients ;)
