Galentine’s Day = a femininomenon? Survey says… yes! 💞✨

In 2024, reservations for parties of six or more on February 13th saw a 34% increase from the same date in 2023, according to OpenTable.

We’re seeing the increased popularity of Galentine’s Day create a cultural desire for unique experiences, specials and group reservations geared towards females, in real time.

But with popularity comes competition—it’s not enough to just have those offerings, marketing them properly is crucial to optimizing your success.

Promote sweet specials for every occasion with curated content shoots that will take your visual media to the next level - like these Galentine’s shots for Leela's 🥂

Website Launch: The Celestine and Peychaud's Bar 🚀 We had a blast working on the joint site design, web banner video and photos (more to come!) for this exceptional hotel and bar duo 💻✨📷

Named one of "The Best New Hotels in the World" on Condé Nast Traveler's 2024 Hot List, The Celestine, a new French Quarter boutique hotel from Leblanc + Smith is garnering an array of much-deserved attention. Elevated yet welcoming, the hotel boasts 10 distinct guest rooms full of history and elegance.

While it's not new, The Celestine's resident bar, Peychaud's, from the talented Neal Bodenheimer of CURE Co., is well-known and loved by locals and tourists alike—providing quality, classic New Orleans cocktails for hotel guests and to the public daily.

Often overlooked but incredibly impactful, consists of both the art and science behind the development of a profitable menu. 🎨🧪

Research shows that the average person reviews a menu for less than 1.5 minutes - not enough time to fully read each item. ⏳

Studies conducted to discern scan and focus patterns 👀 have defined consistencies across various menu layouts, allowing us to strategically prioritize item placement across the overall menu, and further still in the order of items in each section.

While product mixes, menu items and pricing are what you know best, strategic and psychologically-driven layout and design are our bread and butter. We consider these findings and so much more when approaching each new menu design.

A huge congratulations to Robert LeBlanc of LeBlanc+Smith on his 2024 James Beard Foundation Awards semifinalist nomination for Outstanding Restaurateur. 👏

As a business owner in hospitality, I have admired the concepts and celebrated the growth of LeBlanc+Smith from my first introduction to the company (almost a decade ago now 👵). I was always amazed by how Robert could make a very thoughtful concept seem so effortless. Our team has over-indulged at every location (on repeat) and they are always top of mind as recommendations for New Orleans visitors.

In 2023, the stars aligned and CC began collaborating with Robert's team on various projects for The Chloe and The Will & The Way, and now the newly announced The Celestine . It has been an absolute honor and we couldn't be more excited for all the great things coming to you!
