Restaurant Commercial Breakthrough


Founded in 1999 Phoenix Marketing International is one of the fastest growing marketing research firms in the U.S.  As with all companies they are constantly working to improve their products, and this week, they came through with one of the biggest breakthroughs.  Phoenix Marketing International has created a new product called the AdPi or the Advertising Performance Indicator express scorecard.  This  takes the common knowledge that the faster a company can get their product to production the better. 
The AdPi that Phoenix Marketing has produced is a twenty four hour testing service for restaurant ads.  With this service restaurants can test their ads, or their competitors ads at any time of the day against thousands of people across the entire nation.  This is a breakthrough concept as it used to take days, weeks, and sometimes even month of testing and gathering consumer reviews before they could air an advertisement.  Now the Phoenix Marketing has created this network of individuals that can quickly test the ads, and make sure they are getting their point across and aren’t offensive, it not only saves time but money as well.  This service is available for only $9500 which is much less than it would be if each company had to go out and survey people from across the country. 
There are concerns about how reliable the people in the network are.  All of them are in it for the money, how can we be sure they aren’t just trying to get it over with as quickly as possible?  A new idea like this is always extremely risky, companies spend millions of dollars a year on marketing, and even more if they have to fix their image.  If you were in charge of one of these massive companies, would you risk your company image for the savings this service provides?
