Texas Food Truckin’ Fest debuted some new food truck faces
What’s da Scoop, an Austin based food truck and the newest food truck to hit the streets of DFW, served old fashioned hand scooped ice cream to a large turnout this past weekend at the Texas Food Truckin’ Fest in Arlington. As the sun shone down on those in attendance at the Texas Food Truckin Fest at Ranger Ballpark, people turned to the food trucks to “kill the heat with a bite to eat”. In particular, What’s da Scoop, our newest food truck, witnessed first hand what the DFW food truck community was all about. People drove into Arlington from all over our surrounding DFW areas, to not only show their support for our Rangers, but for the food trucks as well. As festival participants waited in line for the trucks, I couldn’t help but think how many people showed up to this event.
The festival was under much speculation, as past DFW food truck festivals attracted low numbers in attendance. However, the Texas Food Truckin’ Fest was different. With over 35 food trucks present, live music, bouncy houses to keep the children entertained, and the Rangers game later in the evening, people showed up in droves. On Saturday, the turn out was even larger. Some food trucks had to roll up their windows, due to a shortage in food supply. It is speculated that the festival attracted around 3,000 people. 
The festival also awarded the best food truck, which Empanada Armada claimed. Undoubtedly, the Texas Food Truckin’ Fest was a HUGE success and new food trucks, like What’s da Scoop experienced what the DFW food truck culture is all about. Congrats to Empanada Armada and thanks to all of those who supported our local food trucks and attended the Texas Food Truckin’ Fest.
Tips on how to promote your food truck…
For this week, we are writing a post for the people behind the food trucks that we have grown to love. It is common knowledge that the number of food trucks has been growing consistently in Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas in recent months. With the industry more competitive than ever, local food truck owners should be equipped with different kinds of marketing techniques to be able to sell their business to their potential customers successfully. That being said, here are some tips on how you can promote your food truck business:
Utilize various technologies
There are a lot of technologies you can use today to market your food truck, one of which is email marketing. According to an article posted at Expose Web Marketing, using email marketing “will enable one to send multiple emails to customers and clients describing to them about your new offers and services ready for their use.” What makes this tool effective is the fact that it allows you to reach customers directly, with lesser resources to spend than traditional media.
Another technology that you can use for your food truck business is social media. For instance, you can tweet about the current whereabouts, specials, and promotions of your food truck. Make sure that you do this creatively so that it will capture your potential customers’ interest. Aside from Twitter, you can also take advantage of the virtual lounge feature of social gaming sources like cheekbingo.
Form partnerships
Competition will always be competition. But believe it or not, you can actually use this to your business’ advantage. You can partner with other mobile businesses, and coordinate a small affair to showcase your offerings. Working with land establishments like restaurants and educational institutions can also help you reach a broader audience.
Hand out flyers and menus
Instead of stuffing your promotional materials in mailboxes, you should just hand them out to your potential customers in person. You can use this as an opportunity to make a good impression by using friendly, open body language as well as sales techniques.
Hopefully these tips will provide you with your promotional food truck needs…

Guess what company just made their DFW food truck debut???
Guess who just made their debut and have rolled onto the streets of Dallas and Ft. Worth? The newest addition to the local DFW food trucks is a California based restaurant and none other than fast food chain, Jack in the Box.
