“'This is the playbook for a lot of (quick service restaurants). Bringing back old favorites like the McRib is one of the tools that they use to drive interest and demand,'” said Michael Della Penna, chief strategy officer at marketing and measurement platform InMarket. 'It gets people excited about visiting. It gets people nostalgic when they remember the product and want to try it again.'”
“'Increased grocery prices are just one piece of the puzzle,' says Della Penna. 'Consumers are feeling the burn of high costs across categories, including housing, restaurants, entertainment, and travel, putting pressure on many Americans to get the most out of every dollar spent.'”
“'The biggest challenge for many of these restaurants and retailers alike is they lack the in-depth consumer and competitive insights needed to keep a constant pulse on shifting consumer behavior and the key factors that motivate their purchase decisions,' said Michael Della Penna, chief strategy officer at InMarket, to The Food Institute. 'It’s more important than ever to not only invest in insights, but the AI/predictive technology that can unlock opportunities to better understand your customers and competitors. Once you uncover those insights, you can figure out ways to enhance your offerings and your overall customer experience to attract and retain consumers.'"
