Marketing Budgets to Meet Changing Consumption

#FCMCon

 

 

Franchise Consumer Marketing Conference

I’m thrilled to be moderating a timely panel at next week’s #FCMCon titled, Build Your Budget to Meet the Customer’s Changing Consumption.

Joining me are two Rock Stars in the franchise marketing space who will share their ideas and experiences in building marketing budgets with an eye on changing consumer media consumption:

Terri Snyder is the EVP, CMO, and Board Member at Checkers & Rally’s and has an impressive history of leading marketing at franchise and global brands such as Dominos, Pizza Hut, and TGIFridays. I had the pleasure of interviewing Terri recently for my Social Geek Radio podcast and found her insights and trend-spotting abilities in the restaurant space to be second to none!

Sally Facinelli is the Vice President of Strategic Growth at Silvercrest Advertising and has been working in franchising for 22 years. Growing hundreds – if not thousands – of franchise brands and businesses means Sally will have fantastic ideas to share on marketing budgets in this changing space.

Please join us on Wednesday, June 20 at 3pm at the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead in the Hope 1-2 rooms. For more details or to register for the conference, please check out Franchise Consumer Marketing Conference.

Keys to the Mobile Kingdom

I’m looking forward to moderating a great panel at the upcoming Franchise Consumer Marketing Conference in Atlanta. In the session, Mobile – New Ideas to Drive In-store Visits, I’ll speak with a panel of marketing executives from the franchise sector to discover how they are using new innovations in mobile to drive traffic into their retail and restaurant establishments.

Do you have questions about mobile marketing best practices that you would like to ask these execs?  Are you struggling with getting new customers in the doors? Are your older strategies and tactics not working? Are you looking for ways to get your franchisees involved?

Please share any questions you would like to include in the session either in the comments section below or privately via LinkedIn Messaging or email at Jack@Qiigo.com. I’ll share your questions at the June 20 session and mention you (unless you would prefer to remain anonymous).

We will announce the final line-up of panelists next week! And if you’re thinking of attending FCMC this year, check out the fantastic agenda and details.

Franchise Consumer Marketing Conference 2016

FCMC1

Three times per year social geeks in the franchise industry have the opportunity to network, sharpen skills, learn, and share in person on a national scale:

At the marketing / tech sections of the IFA Annual Convention

At IFA’s FranTech

At Franchise Update’s Franchise Consumer Marketing Conference (#FCMC)

The FCMC is taking place next Monday night through Wednesday. I look forward to this show as it’s in Atlanta so I can catch up with many of my Qiigo teammates and some old friends in franchising. It’s also one of the best places to share marketing strategies and learn from other brands, other marketers, and even a competitor or two.

If you have the opportunity to join us, please make a point of saying hello – I would love to hear your franchise story!
