Quick-service dining is a highly competitive market, and driving traffic remains a key priority. Marketers can do more to optimize for the last mile that drives customers to brick-and-mortar locations. On-the-go consumers represent a critical — and largely untapped — context for advertising, where targeted messages influence buyer behavior at the moment they are most ready to act.
Research from Forrester Consulting, commissioned by Waze, reveals how quick-service restaurants (QSR) must differentiate themselves and cut through the noise to intercept the cross-country road trippers, the family headed home from soccer practice, or the coffee starved employee on their way to work.
