Uncover Restaurant Owners' Feedback

After talking to our sales team about this finding, we gathered feedback on how clients actually feel about our campaign so far.

There are major two types of clients after a marketing campaign:

The owner said there were a lot of people coming after posting, but she was too busy to count how many

  1. Small to medium size business owners actually care less

· Are happy to see customers flushing into the restaurant after a partnership

· Doesn’t care about conversion data too much as long as the restaurant gets busy. (Especially clients who have a longer relationship with our sales team)

· Are positive about data report provided by sales

  1. Large business owners who care a LOT about data

· Are always debating whether to continue use our marketing campaign unclear if the increased traffic covered our bill.

· Prefer pay-per-click

Sometimes our sales team would apply a primitive way to address this issue - they will go to the restaurant in person to count coupon usage. However this is inaccurate and resource intensive.

We want to make our sales team's life easier by optimizing how we measure campaign conversion rate.
