Can you help KFC get more finger lickin’ chicken delivered to customers?
Overview:
KFC launched their own delivery service recently. It’s accessible via the KFC app. To support their launch, they’d like to develop a marketing campaign that encourages customers to use their new delivery service instead of Deliveroo or Just Eat.
But creating and delivering marketing campaigns is costly and takes time and effort to manage. So KFC want to ensure the campaign is as effective as possible.
They want to target customers more specifically, with communications that are relevant to them. And, they want to send the communications when it will get the best response.
Next Step Challenge:
We need your help to identify customer group(s) that we can target for the campaign and what we may say to them in the communications. We also need you to determine the best days/times to send the communications.
The data we provide and your own delivery experiences will help you solve this problem and help support KFC with the launch of their delivery service.
