Set up a Twitter.com account in your business name.(example: @PetesTaco) It's best to design your Twitter page to correspond with your mobile food business, such as using your business logo as your main photo on your profile page. By doing this you will be easily recognized when customers search for you.

Inform your regular customers as well as your new customers that you are now online, and ask them to follow you on Twitter. You may want to hand out business cards to your customers when they make a purchase. Be sure your cards have your twitter name and website url.

Make daily updates on Twitter, notifying your followers (customers) of your various mobile food cart locations. For example:

12PM-3PM @UTSA - UTSA BLVD/1604
8PM-11PM @UofH - CULLEN BLVD
12AM-3AM @CLUB DOLCE

You can choose to update your Twitter by listing your cart locations hourly or with one daily list to notify your customers where they can find your food cart.

Offer Contests/Free Giveaways-

Another way to drive more customers to your mobile food cart is by updating your Twitter status to inform customers of new menu items, free giveaways, or even start a contest offering a free lunch once you reach a certain number of followers; Such as, follower #100 gets a free taco lunch.

Or have contests asking followers to be the first customer to retweet the lunch special and receive a free sandwich & drink. In no time at all your mobile food cart customers will have increased tremendously and you will have loyal customers following your cart all over town.
