Make sure your ad content aligns with your objective and grabs the attention of your target audience.

10. Review and Launch: Before launching your ad campaign, review all the settings, targeting options, creative elements, and budget. Ensure everything is accurate and meets your campaign objectives. Once you’re satisfied, click the “Publish” or “Launch” button to start running your ads.

11. Monitor and Optimize: Once your ads are live, monitor their performance in Ads Manager. Track key metrics such as impressions, clicks, conversions, and engagement. Analyze the data to understand what’s working and what needs improvement. Optimize your ads by making adjustments to targeting, creative elements, budget, or scheduling to maximize their effectiveness.

Remember to comply with Facebook’s advertising policies and guidelines to ensure your ads are approved and reach your intended audience.

Creating Viral Video Tips

Creating a viral video is not an exact science, as much of it depends on timing, luck, and the unpredictable nature of internet trends. However, there are strategies and best practices you can follow to increase your chances:

1. Understand Your Audience: Knowing what your audience likes is crucial. Research current trends and popular content within your niche to understand what might resonate.

2. Create High-Quality Content: While viral videos can sometimes be low quality, your chances of going viral increase if your content is well-produced and engaging. This doesn’t always mean high production value, yet sometimes a well-lit, clear smartphone video can do the trick.

3. Tell a Story: Humans are wired to engage with stories, so if you can tell a good story, you’re more likely to engage your viewers. It could be funny, emotional, or surprising. The key is to evoke emotion.

4. Make It Shareable: Make your video easy to share. This means keeping it short enough to be digestible (under 2 minutes is usually good) and making sure it’s understandable without sound, as many people watch videos without sound on social media.

5. Use a Catchy Title and Thumbnail: These are the first things people see, so make sure they’re enticing and accurately represent the content of your video.

6. Leverage SEO: Use keywords in your title, description, and tags to help your video show up in search results.

7. Promote Your Video: Share your video on all your social media platforms, and consider reaching out to influencers or blogs in your niche to ask if they’d be interested in sharing your video. Don’t be spammy, but do be proactive in getting your video out there.

8. Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments, ask for likes and shares, and encourage viewer interaction. This can help increase your video’s visibility.

9. Call to Action: Encourage viewers to like, share, and subscribe at the end of the video. Viewer interaction can boost your video’s visibility on platforms like YouTube.

10. Consistency: Don’t expect to go viral with just one video. Consistently producing content increases your chances of one of your videos catching on.

Remember, going viral should not be the end goal, but a part of your larger strategy to build an audience and create engaging content. What matters most is creating content that you’re proud of and that resonates with your audience. The more you do this, the higher your chances of one of your videos going viral.

Frenchie’s Now Open in Montgomery, AL’s Cloverdale Neighborhood

Frenchie’s, a new French-inspired cocktail bar and bistro, opened on June 13th at 514 B2 Cloverdale Road. Restaurateur Jud Blount and Chef Eric Rivera of Vintage Hospitality Group (Vintage Year, Vintage Cafe, Ravello & Red Bluff Bar) have partnered with Restaurateur Tyler Bell of Il Panificio (Dino’s, El Rey Burrito Lounge & Leroy) to offer a new spot to complement the existing restaurants and bars in the Cloverdale neighborhood. With limited seating, reservations are highly recommended while walk-ins can be accommodated at the bar on a first come, first served basis, and on the patio as weather permits. Currently, the hours are 4:30pm-10pm Monday through Thursday, and 4:30-11 pm on Friday and Saturday, Frenchie’s plans on opening on Sunday later this Summer or in the Fall.

“As Jud and I are lifelong friends who both grew up in Cloverdale, we know that Frenchie’s is a great addition to the neighborhood. It is a perfect place to meet a friend for a drink, have a snack or dinner, read a book at the bar or pop in for a nightcap,” states Bell. “While Frenchie’s menu is small, it covers the bases.”

Snacks such as smoked trout dip, calamari, a cheese plate and French onion dip are featured. Chef Rivera’s versions of classic bistro fare like croque monsieur, moules and steak frites rounds out the larger options. An ode to Birmingham’s Chez Fon Fon’s shrimp remoulade salad is offered and a crème brûlée can be found alongside a puff pastry. The drink menu focuses on classic cocktails and wines from small producers, primarily from France. By the glass options will remain relatively small, with a dozen or so wines available to drink at a time. Both restaurant groups are both well known for their wine collections, so guests can expect a well rounded cellar menu to be offered as the business matures.

Vintage Hospitality Group operates the fine-dining flagship restaurant, Vintage Year, as well as a coffee shop, daytime eatery and retail store, Vintage Café, in Montgomery’s historic Old Cloverdale neighborhood. Ravello Ristorante is its hot Italian establishment, along with several private event spaces located downtown. The company also owns the hydroponic farm MGM Greens and Red Bluff Bar, a venue that offers live music, beer, wine and small bites along the scenic Alabama riverfront. Vintage Hospitality Group’s national press accolades include receiving coverage in the New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, PBS NewsHour, USA Today, Garden & Gun, Forbes and Newsweek Magazines. 

Tyler Bell began his hospitality career in 1996 with operating Tomatinos Pizza and Cafe Louisa which he later sold in 2005.  A steady line of restaurants and bars followed including El Rey and the Olive Room.  In 2012, he developed the cocktail and beer bar Leroy, as well as L & E Oyster Bar in Los Angeles.  A couple of years later, Bell introduced the Mexican restaurant El Cóndor near the oyster bar.  Bell then opened Gold Line in 2018 with the record label Stones Throw and its founder DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, starting the trend of Japanese style record bars in the US.

Everything To Know About Moe’s Original BBQ’s Alabama-Style

Serving award-winning Alabama-style BBQ since 1988, Moe’s Original BBQ has set out to educate its customers about what makes Alabama-Style BBQ stand out from other regions. In Alabama, pork is the star of the show and Moe’s Original focuses on the shoulder, also known as the Boston butt, as well as ribs prepared St. Louis style that are well trimmed, competition cut and easy to eat. Its mouthwatering blend of spices is meticulously rubbed on the meat to give it a char and enhance the flavors while cooking. Moe’s slow-smokes its meat in a pit using oak and fruit hardwoods before being doused in a vinegar-based sop sauce to sweeten the meat and pull out the delicious flavors. Additionally, Moe’s Original BBQ highlights two sauces including a tangy, tomato based red sauce that is perfectly spiced and a zesty, mayo-based white sauce for topping or dipping. You can’t forget the pickles and slaw that round out making Alabama-style BBQ a favorite. 

“Smoking meats and preparing all of our food from scratch daily is what sets us apart from many of our competitors,” said Moe’s Original BBQ Founding Partner Jeff Kennedy. “All of the founders grew up in Alabama and have worked hard to perfect Moe’s flavors to keep true to our heritage.” 

Featured in the book An Irresistible History of Alabama Barbecue, Moe’s Original BBQ has also been named in the Top 10 BBQ Chains in America by USA Today and The Daily Meal, one of the fastest growing, emerging restaurant chains by Restaurant Business Magazine, and one of the Top 10 Rib Joints in the U.S. by Relish.
