The Solution: Partner with Always On to reach more consumers and drive traffic, without increasing media expenditures
The Result: 46 straight quarters of sales growth (yep, that’s almost 12 years!)
Assessment:

By analyzing sales and traffic data, we found spikes and valleys around limited time offer promotions.

The analytics clearly showed the negative impact of inconsistent, sporadic spot TV, radio and direct mail buys — buys that left gaps in branding, messaging and, consequently, foot traffic.

We further studied the target demographics and decided to focus marketing efforts primarily on the power of spot TV.
