I have a small BIONICOS (sells mixture of fruits, shakes,tortas, etc) business restaurant. I remodel it, but I want ideas as to how to increase traffic to increase sales once I reopen it again. Please provide other ideas besides : coupons, Facebook/twitter, email list, grand opening event, website, I already have those. thanks in advance

I WANTED TO WRITE THE WHOLE STRATEGY FOR YOU BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS TOO LONG AND YAHOO DIDN'T ACCEPT IT.
I HOPE THIS ENOUGH FOR NOW.

STEP 1- Introduce your business. The most efficient and cost effective way is send your promotion or introduction out directly to your prospective customers mail box, send it as a slide in your local news paper (within reasonable radius length), or just write an edited story about your business in your local news paper(NO TV. NO RADIO) however the writing language shouldn’t appear to be like an advertisement more than introducing your business/products; it has to be editorial language.
STEP 2-collecting feedbacks and CUSTOMERS CONTACT DETAILS. Please use the templates for feedback & use the survey form (never ask customer for their contact details directly, it has to be in proper form or language).
STEP 3- collecting information on what is working best. Please refer to the customer survey form.
STEP 4- Managing the contacts data base. Create a contact form or template to save all your customers contact detail, and KEEP THE SURVEY FORMS AS REFERAL.
STEP 5- Growing your contacts data base. It doesn’t matter if your business already established or not, YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE SURVEY RUNING AT ALL TIMES TO COLLECT MORE CUSTOMERS DATA.
STEP 6- Feedback reaction. Of course the survey will show what & what is not good about your products/service. So if you have some customers are not happy with such item/service, then here is the catch, you have the customer contact details and you have they survey. So in this case, just contact your client & tell him, yes we knew what was wrong, we have improved our service/item, please comeback & give your feedback.
STEP 7- How to bring back the customers & keep them coming back. USE KEY TIME. Ok, now we have the customers contact details including their birthday-date & month (never ask for which year), so easy & simple, just send letter out to your customer addressing him/her, saying that A- (it is your birthday, we would like to greet you our way [Bottle of wine or cake or.....or just don’t say how you going to greet him]). B-(it is such day/season/occasion, we would like to greet/celebrate with you, our way [put your offer or don’t]). The maximum result of all marketing on all times at every where comes from an addressed letter from the seller to the buyer with the buyer name on it.
STEP 8- For you convenient, i have put all the required data from the customers in 1 form, however you still can divide it the way suits you, but please consider the environment before proceeding with more prints and more forms.
STEP 9- NOW, you have all this information & forms in your hand, you should be able to control your market the way you like.
BELOW IS THE SURVEY FORMS.

marketing is your combined advertising strategies to create customers to create sales.
marketing is foremost a numbers game. the more people you market to, the more chance of hitting the target.
secondly, you need to target the customer that most suits your business. in terms of demography and profitability.
so you need to think about that a little i suspect that everyone likes what you sell.
social media advertising and mobile phones are the hottest advertising mediums
when a customer comes into your business try and get email address as its free to send a reminder and offers to them, so you keep in the mind of the prospect.
try not to just think i'll get a great business, but can you duplicate it to become rich.
