• What problems or challenges was the client facing before working with us?
  Before working with us, this franchise chain of 13 restaurants was dealing with long delays in receiving promotional print media, such as flyers, posters, catering menus, and promo cards. They relied on corporate for these materials, but corporate did not provide customized promotional products tailored to their unique Oregon market.

• How were these challenges impacting their business?
  The inability to create and implement their own promotions for their market, combined with long wait times, resulted in lost sales and limited marketing effectiveness.

What services did we provide?
Graphic Design for promotional materials, including Posters, Promo Cards, Catering Menus, Table Tents, and more.

What specific strategies were implemented to solve their problems?

• We met with the franchise owner and regional manager to identify their needs.
• We worked closely with local managers to develop promotional materials tailored to each restaurant’s audience.
• We ensured all materials adhered to corporate branding guidelines while catering to the local market.
• We provided timely production and delivery to eliminate waiting periods.

• Key results achieved:
  • The franchise was able to execute and manage their promotions on time.
  • Significant increase in local sales.
  • Substantial growth in catering business across all 13 locations.

• Before vs. After Comparisons:

  • Before Growth Ally: They struggled with corporate delays and lacked promotional customization for their market.

  • After Growth Ally: With access to a local agency, they described the change as a game-changer—having their promotional materials on time and tailored to their market led to substantial business growth.
