doin' the damn thing

Clearfork Community

 Hi Clearfork Community,

In the last 10 days of March alone, the @discoverclearfork feed saw over 139,000 views. Our goal is to use this feed to increase online traffic and to-go orders to our vendors, but we need your help.

We here at Sip Dine Design have seem a tremendous increase in impressions when we use videos and personal imagery on social media. We have found that audiences want to know the stories and the people behind their favorite brands. We would love for you to review the prompts below and contribute some content to the Clearfork feed. We believe in the power of community and our hope is that this community messaging approach will increase digital traffic to our entire Clearfork neighborhood.

Please read the prompts below and upload whatever videos and photos you have via the upload link provided in your personalized email (you can also send that link to managers to upload staff photos). If you’d like to share any other interesting information about your brand or business please feel free to email additional notes to hello@sipdinedesign.com or via the form below!
