OPENING LAUNCH PROGRAM TESTIMONIAL
“Working with John Lee and his Impact Marketing Services (IMS) team was a true game-changer for our new restaurant openings. Their Opening Launch and Grand Opening Program, played a critical role in helping that new location quickly become top sales performers in our system. One of our most recent new stores leaped into our “Top 10” sales out of 65 locations—a direct result of implementing the IMS Opening Launch Marketing Program. John’s hands-on, results-driven approach has proven invaluable to our business. In my view, IMS programs provide new stores with the momentum to succeed faster.”

Kellie Threadgill, Tasti D-lite Franchisee –
Our store was packed with customers during our weekend Grand Opening promotion. It was a great success! Impact Marketing Services was a major contributor to our success even after the event. The IMS team made our promotions easy. We had over 1,000 customers! IMS went well above and beyond our expectations.”

Ben Lee, Wayback Burgers Franchisee
We opened in February 2016, and customer counts and sales made a modest increase with the marketing plan we were using. In June, IMS was hired to develop our Opening Launch & Grand Opening Plan for our store, and the IMS team produced a fantastic plan and implemented it for us. My customer counts increased 67%, and sales increased 42%. We had immediate results from the social media, direct marketing, and field marketing ideas included in the plan. They turned our store around and got sales on the right track.”

We’ve seen remarkable improvements in many of our previously under-performing locations, thanks to IMS’s targeted local store marketing strategies.
John brings over 34 years of hands-on experience in local store marketing, and it shows. His ability—and that of his team—to connect and engage with our franchisees at every level truly sets them apart. They don’t just execute a marketing plan; they partner with you to drive results.
In my view, IMS LSM programs offer challenged locations the tools and support they need to turn things around. John is not only a seasoned marketing expert—he’s a trusted
partner who genuinely cares about the success of every franchisee. His hands-on, results-driven approach has proven invaluable to our business.
If you’re seeking a proven, cost-effective solution to drive growth and performance across your franchise network, I highly recommend John Lee and the Impact Marketing Services team.”
