Billion Smiles is a hospitality company that operates several South Indian cuisine restaurant brands. They launched additional brands that were successful, but needed a better way to analyze marketing efforts and run automated campaigns. They implemented Mobikon's services in 2012, which provided a single dashboard for analytics, customer data and profiling, operational insights, and campaign management across all brands. This helped Billion Smiles gain a deeper understanding of customers and improve performance. Key results included growing their customer database to over 52,000 people, increasing new customers by over 2,000 per month, and boosting customer satisfaction scores.
2. Billion Smiles presents south Indian cuisine in a new, modern avatar. After the
success of our brand South Indies, we launched two more ventures Bon
South & UpSouth, which were successful. With each venture, the requirement
for an infallible mechanism of marketing analytics & automated campaigns was
a dire need.
