baracoa cuban restaurant
With 1,200 reviews averaging 4.5 stars on each of their Yelp and Google business profiles, it's no surprise that Baracoa Cuban Restaurant was twice awarded Antelope Valley's Best 2024 for "Favorite Restaurant" and for "Restaurant Overall."
what can we learn from their wins?
customer service & quality offerings are foundational
When you pair high-quality products/services with exceptional customer service, you're more likely to cultivate a loyal customer base who will refer others to you.
How can you improve customer touchpoints?
What product upgrades can you make?
we must know our audience
Baracoa doesn't just serve food, they provide authentic Cuban cuisine with nostalgic cafecito, live music, and cigarro rolling. These additional elements provide a comforting, lasting experience for their customers.
What is important to your target market?
What can you do to connect with them?
visuals & copywriting matter
When we submitted the double-winning entry for bläanks, we first double-checked the image and copy requirements. The images were interesting and of the best quality within the submission file guidelines. The copy was written to fit the parameters while still providing a unique point of view.
Do you hire professional designers, photographers, and copywriters?
If not, do you have the proper skillset for DIY?
no risk, no reward
This may sound cliché, but it's true: we can only win if we dare to enter the competition and promote our business.
What awards competitions can you enter your business into?
Where else in your industry or community can you spotlight your business?
Overall, we win at least one of two ways when we enter competitions:
When we win the trophy, we also win at marketing our business!
When we don't win the trophy, we still win at measuring our business against the competition.
Both "wins" strengthen business and increase our odds of a future trophy.
