YOUR SUCCESS IS MY SUCCESS”
I have been fortunate to work with some of the smartest people in the restaurant industry and they have taught me a lot. I believe that:
- Marketing should be part of a comprehensive business plan that integrates the key goals and elements of the organization;
- Strategy starts with assessing your competitive position and forecasting the market;
- Menu engineering is the key to successful positioning;
- Building awareness, trial, frequency, loyalty and brand advocacy should be specified goals and measured by day part and key business segments;
- Effective advertising creates an emotional connection with the guests —and helps motivate the employees to provide superior hospitality and quality;
- Marketing planning should be a dynamic process that continuously adapts to new learning about the customers, competitors, economy and financial results;
- Flexibility and speed are essential to prosper in today’s world and the marketing team should be key change agents in the organization.
I enjoy contributing to the success of an organization and building a Brand, and welcome discussing your business needs.
Sincerely, Bill Menzel
