Abstract

Bu araştırma Eskişehir’de faaliyet gösteren yiyecek içecek işletmelerinin sosyal medya uygulamalarından ne derece yararlandıklarını ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda hazırlanan anket formları Eskişehir’de 28 adet turizm işletme belgeli yiyecek içecek işletmesinin sahibi ya da yöneticisi tarafından cevaplandırılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılarak analiz edildiğinden, hipotezler kurulmamış, neden sonuç ilişkileri incelenmemiş, korelasyonel ilişkiye yönelik analizler gerçekleştirilmemiştir. Veriler değerlendirmesi aşamasında frekans analizi ve ağırlıklı ortalama hesapları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, yiyecek ve içecek işletmelerinin sosyal medya araçlarını aktif bir biçimde kullandıklarını, reklam ve pazarlama faaliyetlerinin yürütülmesinde sosyal medyanın sağladığı olanaklardan faydalandıklarını ve hedef kitleleri olan müşterilerle sosyal medya sayesinde daha hızlı, kolay, ucuz ve etkili bir iletişim kurabildiklerini göstermektedir. Ayrıca internet ortamının sağladığı etkileşimsellik sayesinde yiyecek içecek işletmelerinin müşterilerden gelen taleplere de hızlı bir biçimde yanıt verebildikleri tespit edilmiştir
