For Businesses

FoodTrekker helps you reach new customers and compete effectively against chains.

If you want to reach food enthusiasts anywhere in the world, then FoodTrekker is a godsend. We understand the needs of local and independent businesses, groups and destinations better than anyone. That's why we created FoodTrekker - an evolution in food and drink publishing and search. FoodTrekker is completely unique and serves businesses, groups and destinations the following ways:
 

  • No chain businesses.
    Don't you hate those websites that put your business right next to Big Burger Chain Outlet #6223? Your customers don't want to visit chains businesses, and you don't need that competition in your face. Some local only chains may be allowed if they are not too large. We are sorry but all state-wide/provincial, regional, national and international chains are ineligible for inclusion.
     
  • No advertisements.
    Our annual subscription model is a tasteful way to promote your business in a consistent templated format. This has the effect of making FoodTrekker look more like an online magazine than a website.
     
  • A lot more than just restaurants.
    Foodies want to find more than just restaurants so we help them by including wineries, breweries, cooking classes, culinary tours, food events, culinary lodging like B&Bs, culinary retail and grocery,  food factories, food magazines, farms and farmers' markets, foodie destinations, restaurants and a lot, lot more. FoodTrekker covers 13 categories of culinary businesses.
  • Curated content that is easy to read (magazine-style design)
    High quality content makes FoodTrekker a website that people want to use. The more they want to use it, the longer they will stay on the website. Research shows that people buy more when information is presented in context. This is good news for your business, group or destination.
  • Globally focused.
    If your business is located anywhere else besides the USA, you know how hard it is to promote it outside your region. And if you want to promote directly to customers in other languages besides yours and English, it is very hard and expensive to do. FoodTrekker has always offered multilingual editorial content and soon, will offer website navigation in 12 languages. It also supports localized addresses so a Russian traveling to Korea can print out your address written in Korean and know that he or she will arrive at the correct location.
     
  • Custom matchmaking.
    You want to create Raving Fans, don't you? FoodTrekker's custom matchmaking helps foodies to discover their true foodie "personality", and then matches them to experiences they will like. This means that the customers who find you on FoodTrekker are more likely than not going to be ones who will love your business.
     
  • Visual search.
    A picture is worth 1000 words. Help customers find exactly what you offer with a photo - or even a video.  Gone are the days of black text on a white background lost in a sea of black text on white background.
     
  • Concise, relevant reviews.
    Every business owner dreads the nasty, hateful customer who has nothing nice to say, especially when the problem is entirely the customer's fault. FoodTrekker limits reviews to 140 characters so reviewers are forced to get to the point. Certain subscription levels allow you to reply to customer reviews and set the record straight.
