Optimizing Media Spend

Over 100 years ago, department store magnate John Wannamaker famously said, “I know half the money I spend on advertising is wasted, the trouble is I don’t know which half”. Today, this trouble still exists.

In the highly competitive restaurant industry where every marketing dollar counts, franchise organizations need smarter media strategies to drive customer engagement and ROI. This panel will explore how to harness customer data to improve targeting and conversion rates at the brand, regional, and individual franchise level. It will also cover the value of deploying intuitive, real-time dashboards for campaign optimization to maximize the impact of media efforts including paid search, social, programmatic display, and even direct mail.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to analyze customer data to refine audience targeting.
  • Strategies to align media spend across brand, regional, and franchise tiers.
  • The power of real-time dashboards for campaign performance and optimization.
  • Best practices to leverage media channels for both walk-in and online ordering.
