A Little Lagniappe Blog
Our blog, A Little Lagniappe, gives members a little 'extra' promotion. In the fast-paced and ever-changing restaurant industry, it's vital for your businesses survival to have an online presence.
We feature members whose restaurant may be on the cutting edge of the industry, or tell a behind the scenes story of a business owner providing for their community. Maybe your business is not on social media but has a huge local following, that deserves attention. Want to showcase your new menu, or give staff shout-outs? Our blog is the central place for all good news in the hospitality industry.
When we share our members' stories through our social media channels, they reach an audience of 20,000 individuals.
For our social media followers, it's something extra for them, too. Our content is not the typical news circulating through weekly publications and local news sites. The original stories shine a meaningful light on the men and women who selflessly make up the Louisiana restaurant & hospitality industry.
