Case study: How Sopranos Boosted Profitability with Smarter Marketing Spend
Managing marketing expenses is crucial for restaurants, and Sopranos, a popular chain with three locations, was facing a familiar challenge: rising marketing costs. A staggering 52% of their revenue was spent on discounts and advertising, eating into their profits. Their manual marketing process was inefficient and time-consuming. That’s when they turned to growdash, a data-driven marketing platform that helped them optimize spend and increase profitability.
The Challenge: Rising Marketing Costs
Sopranos relied heavily on discounts and paid ads to attract customers, but their budget allocation was not yielding the desired results. Their marketing spend was high, with no clear insight into which efforts were driving the best return. Plus, managing it manually made the process slow and ineffective.
The Solution: Data-Driven Marketing with growdash
1. Optimized Budget Allocation
growdash helped Sopranos identify the most effective marketing channels. By reallocating their budget to the highest-performing campaigns, they minimized waste and ensured better use of resources.
2. Hourly CPC Campaigns
growdash introduced hourly cost-per-click (CPC) bidding, allowing Sopranos to target peak hours when customers were most likely to order. This made their advertising more efficient and reduced spending during off-peak times.
3. Centralized Tracking
With growdash’s dashboard, Sopranos had one place to track key performance indicators (KPIs) across all platforms, enabling quick adjustments to optimize campaigns on the fly.
