As someone who was part of the original 1664 Blanc launch team in the early 2000s I had to share this phenomenal piece of brand activation. Kudos to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company 👏👏👏 🚀 My No 1 Golden Rule of Marketing: Invest at the point of purchase for maximum ROI. You get a huge sampling opportunity to recruit new consumers and drive sales but most importantly you create brand advocates who keep selling for you long after the activation ends. 💡💰 #SuperbWork #BrandActivation #MarketingStrategy Remember, it’s not just about the visibility of the product—it’s about the lasting impact you create 🙌

Exciting news for Chicago's South Loop! 🏙️💼 Proposed projects for a new Chicago Bears stadium and Chicago White Sox ballpark are sparking economic optimism. "When teams are winning, fans spend more money. If that should happen, I would expect more restaurants opening near the stadiums and downtown overall," said Sam Toia, President of the Illinois Restaurant Association. "A new White Sox stadium would provide a boost to restaurants in the spring and summer, while the Bears would provide a boost in the fall and winter." To learn more and read the full article by Wendell Hutson of the Chicago Business Journal, head to https://ow.ly/2JqJ50QRNZg.

Fans everywhere enjoy attending stadiums to personally experience the thrill of their team’s victories. In fact, for a fan, attending the game is all about the experience. Whether their team wins or loses, they will choose to keep coming back if they enjoyed the experience. One huge factor for fans can be cleanliness. In an arena where fans will be enjoying food, unclean surfaces can impact food safety and lead to sickness and insects. Litter throughout the stadium can lead to bad impressions, and attendance for games can drop. SWEPT knows the value of a great impression.

Day Three of Starbucks and Tee Time at the Rosen Shingle Creek for the ServiceMaster TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® and TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK Annual Conference. It occurs to me that I have yet to see a single golfer on this course. Of course, it's early and we could be on the back nine (one of maybe three golfing terms I am familiar with). Big takeaway from yesterday? Shaking out and dusting off old processes and finding out if we still do them because they are effective or just because that's the way we've always done them. (Spoiler Alert - It's a little bit of both.) #twomenandatruck #twomenandajunktruck #servicemaster #servicemasterbrands #smbac2024 #annualconference #annualconference2024 #pistachiolatte #whatImReading #marketingstrategy #bookdragon #fortlauderdale #ftl #ftlmovers #ftlmovingcompany #localmovers #hyperlocal

🚀 Ipswich is not just celebrating the Tractor Boys ⚽️ returning to the Premier League—it's also welcoming the arrival of Five Guys 🍔 at Cardinal Park, which opened in February! In just 12 years, Five Guys Europe has expanded to around 175 UK sites, and now they’re planning 15 more openings next year, with 60% being drive-thrus 🚗🍟. But how do these investments actually perform? At Hospitality Data Insights (HDI), we help businesses like Five Guys get the full picture with Site Intel Pro 🏗️📊—tracking everything from new site performance to refurbishment success. Take Five Guys Ipswich, for example: it grabbed a 6.9% value share of the Top 20 venues within a 0.5-mile radius 📈, with a clear appeal to younger customers. But what’s really interesting is how it's stacking up against the local competition. McDonald’s 🍔 at Cardinal Park is its top local competitor, especially after its major refurb last November. Using HDI’s powerful data, we track site performance, compare menu pricing, and give our clients the edge they need to stay ahead. For instance, we can see that a Cheeseburger at Five Guys Ipswich costs £10.35, and we can compare food and drink prices for all the major branded competitors in the local area—including McDonald's, KFC, Subway, and Greggs. E.g., a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese at the nearby McDonald's is priced at £5.89. Want to know how your business is performing versus named competitors, at an overall level or even all the way down to an individual site level? Feel free to get in touch - always happy to chat about how HDI can provide the insights you need to drive growth and outshine the competition! 🚀💡 #HospitalityData #UKHospitality #hospitalitysolutions

Warning: Boston Specific Attn: First Championship parade Restaurant and Bar operations teams From the desk of a 10 parade veteran It may not be too late to adjust your plan. If you are on the parade route: You will probably be busy with folks before the parade, then you will be dead once the duck boats are in sight and a mad rush after the boats are no longer visible. Many of these people just want a restroom and water, how you choose to deal with that is important. Parade day they may be a nuisance but the rest of the year they or their connections are your guests have a plan let your team know what that plan is but be prepared to adapt. If you are not on the parade route but are on a pedestrian route near a T stop or on the way to or from one: You too will have to deal with the post-parade traffic at what could be an odd time for your team, you may fill up with folks looking to have a "light lunch" and watch the parade on the TV's if you have them. Those folks may linger and have an extra beverage or two. Be prepared for an odd flow of traffic through the day as folks tire of being in the sun and start to head back to their home turf. Have a plan for how the day shift team will deal with folks who have had one too many Gansetts, this is something they may not have the experience that your night side team has. Most of all have fun it is supposed to be a celebration! #Celtics #parade #BostonBars #BostonRestaurants #Champions #18Championships #duckboats #CelticsParade

SIR JIM RATCLIFFE TO IMPLEMENT CHANGES AT MANCHESTER UNITED New Dining Restrictions at Carrington Training Ground: Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new shareholder at Manchester United, is shaking things up at the club. One of the changes he is making involves banning staff from dining with the first team at the Carrington training ground. What's Changing? According to a report from The Daily Mail, staff members who do not directly work with the players will no longer be allowed to eat in the same canteen as the first team. This means they will no longer have access to the elite food that the players enjoy. Looking to Improve Performance: Despite a less than stellar performance in the Premier League, Manchester United showed they still have what it takes by defeating rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final. It seems that Ratcliffe is hoping to see a boost in performance and standards by implementing these changes at the club. Recapturing Glory Days: As the Red Devils aim to recapture their past glory, it's clear that Ratcliffe is determined to make changes that will help the team reach new heights. Only time will tell if these changes will have the desired impact on the team's performance.
