OVERVIEW OF THE STREET FIGHTER
CUSTOM LOCAL MARKETING PROGRAM
5.5% sales increase over the control group

 

Moe's Southwest Grill got a 5.5% increase compared to the control group with their Street Fighter local marketing program. Some individual franchisees had increases ranging from 10% to as high as 22%.  To achieve this level of success requires a true partnership between the Street Fighter team and the client.   With that partnership the goal is to provide you a fully developed local marketing program that is designed to be implemented by local owners, franchisees or general managers to increase customer counts and top line sales with no additional ad spend.  

 

The tactics we use are many.  More importantly, than the tactics, is that you get a complete system, designed for your unique operation. Our goal is to collect a portfolio of tested, proven ideas that allow your company to take advantage of the hundreds of opportunities that exist to dominate your local trading areas with low cost and even free marketing and advertising designed to generate both initial trial and repeat sales. But more importantly than the tactics is that you get a system, designed for your unique operation. 

 

Methodology

 

We employ an operations-based marketing program with an emphasis on training, development and empowerment. The Street Fighter program uses a combination of coaching, modeling, mentoring, and training in a “leaner-centered” environment. 

 

The Return-On-Marketing-Investment (ROMI) is high because once Phase One is developed the customized program is a resource that keeps on performing for you for many years to come.

"HIGHLY IMPACTFUL

  HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

"I had the priviledge of working with Jeff when I hired the street fighting team to assist Moe's Southwest Grill, a 430-unit fast-casual restaurant chain. Jeff's innovative approach to LSM and local marketing tactics specifically designed for an individual location (or market) was incredibly creative, fun to execute, extremely targeted and highly-impactful. More than that, Jeff was a pleasure to work with, developed a great relationship with our franchisees and restaurants and held detailed weekly calls to ensure that all questions were answered and everyone stayed on track. He became a valued member of my team and executed the program in a completely turnkey manner. I'd highly recommed Jeff, either for a marketing position within a company or as a consultant in his role as "street fighter".

 

"ON TARGET

  GREAT IDEAS"

"I have known Jeff for twenty years....He is a creative, on target marketeer with great ideas and foresight."
