How Checkers Reaches their Consumers Where They Work and Play

Since February 2012, Adelante Live, Inc. has executed an extensive Street Team and Brand Ambassador program for the Checkers/Rally’s brand throughout various U.S. cities. These events have included promotions of specific Limited Time Offers (LTOs) on food and beverage items, Grand Openings, and Grand Re-Openings of restaurants across 10 states. Our Street Teams have also been responsible for driving traffic to stores during targeted time frames such as lunchtime or late-night hours.

The right mix of talent, promotional offer, brand training, and promotion location selection have allowed our Checkers/Rally’s Street Teams to grow to a success unseen by other forms of media. And although we can’t reveal the exact ingredients that make these Street Teams so successful, we can show the results of our recipe.
