Are you having trouble growing your food truck business? You\u2019ve come to the right place! Whether you\u2019re a current or future food truck owner, we think these tips will help jumpstart your strategy for food truck success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market like a Maniac <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marketing is one of the most important aspects of your business. This is how you get your name out there to the people. After all, if no one has heard of your food truck, how are you going to grow your business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your truck has a branded identity that is easily recognizable and pairs well with the food you serve. It doesn\u2019t make sense to brand yourself like a 50s diner when the only dishes on the menu are Japanese noodles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t be creative with your styling; just make sure your creativity flows in the same vein as your food theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up Your Social Media Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your truck have a strong presence on social media? Or would potential customers wonder if you are even still in business judging by the lack of recent posts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping up with your engagement on social media<\/a> can be tough, but your mobile food truck will thank you when lines are gathered outside of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post your daily or weekly specials on Facebook. Share photos of your most enticing dishes on Instagram. Advertise your current location on your Snapchat story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Frugal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it\u2019s tempting to look at the success you\u2019ve had in the past and take it for granted, but don\u2019t forget that a lot of what helped you get there was careful planning, patient saving, and judicious spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very easy to go all out when you feel you\u2019ve finally \u201cmade it,\u201d but continuing to wisely steward your business resources is the best way to go. This way, if hard times unexpectedly befall you, you will have greater potential to bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep following your business plan. Don\u2019t stop looking for even the small ways you can save on spending. And don\u2019t forget to always seek wise business counsel for any major financial decisions you may find on your horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run with the Seasons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important to continue making the food that has gotten you so much success in the first place, but it is never a bad idea to change up the menu every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the key ways you can do this is by introducing seasonal specials or limited time offerings. Customers often enjoy products that are relevant to the time of year, like specialty frozen treats during summer, fall-inspired flavors in autumn<\/a>, or warm comfort foods for winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having certain dishes that only return to the menu at specific times of year adds to your food truck\u2019s nostalgia. These specials allow you to build anticipation among your clientele when a favorite seasonal item is about to come back on the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering temporary specials also gives you the advantage of testing new recipes or ideas before adding them to your regular menu. It allows you to gauge how popular a food will be before committing to it as a permanent offering year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember To Be You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While change is a good way to add some spice to your food truck offerings, remember to stay true to your food truck\u2019s core identity. You have made it this far with your mobile kitchen, so you\u2019ve been doing something right along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t throw everything out the window or change too much at once. If you are known for specific quirks, then by all means stick to them. After all, they are probably the very things that keep returning customers coming back again and again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you serve certain specials every Wednesday? Is there a secret sauce you add to signature dishes? No matter what you are known for, keep doing you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Catering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Branch out and offer catering<\/a> for weddings, special events, festivals or whatever else you can find. This is not only a great way to make some serious dough (perhaps literally and figuratively), but it is also a great way to get your food truck\u2019s name out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try displaying a sign announcing your new catering service wherever you set up shop to generate awareness among your regular customers. Be sure to announce your new catering services on your social media channels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even consider contacting local print media, like food magazines, newspapers, or community newsletters, to see if they would be interested in running a story on this new service in the local food scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set Goals for Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don\u2019t forget to set goals for your business growth<\/a>. Like any other restaurant venture, running a successful food truck comes down to implementing essential business practices. Setting goals is an important way to make sure you get where you want to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let temporary slumps or unexpected bumps in the road throw off your mobile kitchen mojo. No great achievement is gained without hard work and determination, successful food trucks included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So get out there and keep chasing that food truck dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
