Beef ‘O’ Brady’s: Marketing Through the Community

February 13, 2017 // Dan Fontaine

When you operate a franchise business, you’re getting marketing from the franchisor, but that isn’t enough. Reed Parker, the owner of a Beef ‘O’ Brady’s franchise in Dallas, Georgia, says that might get people in the door, but you have to get involved in the community to get them to keep coming.

Reed believes that showing the members of his community how much he cares can make the difference between a profitable business and a failing one. So he puts a lot of money into local marketing campaigns and really establishing a visible presence in the community. He not only participates in community events and markets publicly, but also makes sure to get to know people table by table. Beef ‘O’ Brady’s is a good name and model, but people will ultimately come back for Reed and his employees.
