Email Marketing

Why Email Matters

Ask any marketer what’s their secret weapon, and they’ll tell youit’s email.

Email is the most personal marketing channel. When a guest provides an email address, they’re inviting you into their inbox, a private space reserved for things that matter. Unlike social media posts or ads, emails feel like a one-on-one conversation. It’s your chance to connect directly to guests, whether you’re promoting a new dish, offering a birthday discount, or reminding them why they love your brand in the first place. And the best part? Email is more affordable, with the highest ROI of nearly any marketing tool.

With Fishbowl’s Guest Relationship Management (GRM), you don’t simply send emails – you deliver smart, data-driven, highly targeted messages that resonate with your guests. Email is powerful on its own, but with GRM, it becomes a powerful entry point to build loyalty, drive traffic and boost sales.
