The Marketing Crowd's video: Social media success story: How Weir s Bar Restaurant creates a weekly local news video

www.themarketingcrowd.ie Would you like to see some examples of Irish businesses that are sucessfully using social media for marketing? In my job I meet people around the country who have very interesting success stories and over the next few months I'm planning to create a series of video interviews called "Social Media Success Stories" with many of these business owners - to shine a light on the innovative and successful things they are doing. The first Social Media Success Story video features Pat Weir who owns Weirs Bar & Restaurant Multyfarnham in County Westmeath. I met Pat through the business support he received from Local Enterprise Office Westmeath. You'll see that Pat's business is in the small village of Multyfarnham which has a population of around 350 people and he came up with the brilliant idea to create a weekly local news video full of details of what happened last week in the village, what's coming up next week, footage of local GAA matches and he intersperses these videos with details of his menu and events in his bar. His weekly videos get thousands of views and are bringing in customers far beyond the village - which was his goal. A big thanks to Pat for sharing his experience with everyone. He's a star.
