Live Webinar: From The Experts: The Power of Social Media Engagement
September 17, 2020 | 9:00 a.m. PST

However, for many companies the impact social media has on their sales funnels is still a dark unknown. Integrating the social engagement data your entire organization is generating (yes, that means your corporate accounts and employee advocates) can help turn social media blasts into an integral part of a lead-generating machine.
While social media’s importance is hard to deny, how B2B companies can do it right is still a mystery. That’s why we are excited to invite you to our seventh episode of our From the Experts series, where industry experts will discuss the benefits of a strong social media presence and how to turn the data you’re generating into actionable insights.

Live Roundtable: Adventures in Eating Out: QSR & Fast Casual Restaurant Trends in the Covid Era
September 24, 2020 | 1:00 p.m. PST
Quick service restaurants (QSR) and fast casual restaurants have been rapidly evolving with supply chain shifts, product shortages, new ways of working, and the increasing influx of consumer choice. Physical store closures and food concerns elevated grocery spend and flooded households with an excess of supplies, while contactless and alternative forms of delivery accelerated to meet sanitation needs. As the industry crests the fifth month of the pandemic and stores open up with socially distanced options, new opportunities have arisen to engage customers. While many of the shifts are not new, it seems clear that consumer’s altered habits will remain long after the emergency has passed. QSR and fast casual brands that are embracing the shifts by activating and improving mobile apps are seeing a 2.2x spend over brands that haven’t mastered the cross-channel experience.
Join this peer-to-peer discussion on QSR and fast casual restaurant trends in mobile and share how you can accelerate cross-channel experiences to gain share of wallet. We invite you to join by audio and video.
Topics covered:
- Four key themes in a post-COVID-19 era for QSR and fast casual restaurants
- Share of wallet shifts with grocery as new competition
- Consumer behavior is rapidly changing
- Loyalty to drive customer engagement and to mitigate the impact of supply chain shifts with third-party delivery companies (3PDs)
