How can a facility assess the viability of a promotional program?

The viability of a promotional program can be effectively assessed through a combination of cost/benefit analysis, customer interviews, and written surveys. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of both the financial implications and customer perceptions associated with the promotional offering.

Conducting a cost/benefit analysis allows the facility to evaluate the expected costs of the promotional program against the anticipated benefits, which helps determine whether the program will be financially viable. Interviewing customers offers qualitative insights directly from those targeted by the promotion, revealing their opinions, preferences, and overall satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Written surveys can collect quantitative data from a larger demographic, allowing the facility to analyze trends and gather measurable feedback regarding the promotional program’s potential success.

This thorough assessment strategy not only gauges customer interest and engagement but also helps identify any areas for improvement or adjustment prior to implementing the program, ensuring that it aligns with customer expectations and business objectives.
