・ Program 3: Introducing inbound promotion using “review sites for restaurants and accommodations”
Member of Japan Inbound Media Consortium
Jappan Jappan Co.
→Posting on review sites and applications is one of the most effective ways to promote inbound promotion.
In Japan, word-of-mouth sites such as Eat Log, Gurunavi and Retty are the mainstream, but globally, Tripadvisor, Yelp and Google are by far the most popular sites used by foreign tourists. They are looking for foreigner-friendly restaurants with popular and reliable comments in the area they are in or will be visiting.
Based on the above, we will utilize the SNS that foreigners use to send out information about your restaurant and respond to comments one-on-one, leading to a higher ranking on the site and attracting more customers.
