emma surveys those aged 14+ and these results are not from same store sales, they’re also not a measure of revenue or multiple visitation; One person visiting 10 times over a four week period equals one person. This is about exposing your brand and product to a wider total audience and the results are the percentage change. Given how important word of mouth is – if you’re doing a great job and winning this battle the results can have a multiplier effect on future business. Of course if you’re sucking in new customers with a short term price promotion and your competitors have a better product you could be harming future results.
Seventeen of the brands surveyed in emma had positive or flat results. 15 had negative results (and a few sampled too low to include). We’ll revisit these numbers in six months to see who has managed to carry the momentum.
