Increased Competition from Chains and Seasonal Fluctuations for Bozeman Steakhouse

Open Range’s goal when first reaching out to Check This Out was to differentiate itself from other restaurants. With so many options for dining in Bozeman, Open Range needed to stand out from the rest. Since restaurants have thinner margins than other businesses, having a steady stream of customers is crucial to their success, and competition for customers is fierce. With the pandemic easing, Open Range was looking to get people back in their restaurant and increase their customer retention.

Open Range was tired of taking time to create elaborate print and radio campaigns and not seeing the results they desired. Issues such as high cost, low return on investment, and time kept popping up with their traditional marketing efforts. Also, some of their data was potentially unaccounted for, since they had to keep track of their results manually. They needed to know what was working to make informed decisions on their advertising campaigns. Looking to transform their efforts into something positive and highly trackable, Open Range turned to Check This Out.
