Uniquely Canadian
For more information:
All too often U.S. marketing strategies are assumed to be fully transferrable to Canadian markets. Consequently, your results can be suboptimal. Now more than ever, your investments must be on target and show solid returns to the bottom line.
What it comes down to is this – Canadians are unique. We have distinct priorities, expectations, concerns, and values. Our economic and political environment is different, and of course, the competitive dynamics across our geographically and culturally diverse land are uniquely Canadian. As a result, our consumer choices and behaviours can be very different from our US counterparts.

Eliminating misconceptions behind price changes
Over the past year, challenges in the world food supply have seen huge spikes in the costs of key ingredients such as corn, wheat, dairy, etc. Early 2008 has seen, ”an all-time high [for wheat prices] of US$18.53 a bushel, — corn climbed to $5.37 a bushel — more than double the average price before 2007.”1 Many factors are leading financial analysts to forecast, “agricultural commodities prices will remain high for months, if not years to come.”

Maximizing restaurant sales while streamlining operations — a high value combo
The menu is the cornerstone of any successful restaurant. Be it casual dining or quick service, customers visit an establishment in hopes of a good meal. Tied directly into the restaurant’s brand image, the menu advertises the experience a guest will have. Creating the right menu, therefore, is one of the most important tasks a restaurant will undertake. The juggling act of designing a menu that concurrently pleases customers and respects the restaurant’s bottom line is where our Menu Optimization approach delivers the most value.
The Harris/Decima Menu Optimization will allow you to create a menu that satisfies the greatest number of customers while streamlining your operational costs. We believe this is the highest value combination we can serve up to our clients.
