New Facebook tool for restaurants drives brand awareness
Zpizza, a health-conscious, Laguna Beach-based pizza chain, says it has dramatically increased brand awareness by using GoRecommend, a Facebook application that drives retail location traffic by turning customer experiences into a marketing tool. GoRecommend was engineered by Empathica Inc., a provider of Customer Experience Management solutions to international brands.  
 
GoRecommend uses an automated referral process: After customers complete a retail experience survey, the GoRecommend engine prompts those who were happy with their experience to make an online recommendation on Facebook. The location-specific content will automatically appear on both a brand's Facebook fan page and a user's profile page.
