National `Stay At Home Week’?
I’m sure you are aware of the ABC TV networks positioning for this week — STAY AT HOME. I’ll bet every fast food restaurant owner and especially full service restaurant owners hearts about stopped upon hearing the `marketing’ statement. They might have just as well said - eat at home for dinner this week (or any business that depends on part of its revenue from the evening daypart) - or - don’t spend `extra money’ this week.
We can ONLY hope that restaurants pulled advertising from ABC this week - did your chain?
