About Jeff Weaver

How a Lunch Rush Changed Everything In 2017, I owned a Barter Exchange franchise. One afternoon, a friend called from a nearly empty restaurant—30 tables, only two occupied. He said, “These places are struggling. I’ve got an idea that could help.” I asked, “Why me?” He said, “Because you’re the marketing guy.” Fair enough. His idea? Full-service email marketing for restaurants and small businesses. But when I dug into the research, I found this: Restaurant emails had a 10–13% open rate. Other verticals were not much better. Social media stats showed only about 2-3% of followers to see the post 80% of consumers preferred opt-in text messages 97–98% of texts actually got read Over 70% of first-time customers never returned That last statistic LIT THE FIRE! Texting—not email or social—was the hidden retention engine. Owners could connect, communicate, appreciate, and invite guests back—easily and effectively. We got to work. Then COVID hit. And as would be expected, marketing budgets disappeared. In 2022, a health issue forced me to sell the barter business. When the dust settled, I asked myself: Texting is great, but what else can help clients even more? Quick Results Marketing 2.0 was born. I knew small businesses needed more than texting or tired points-based rewards. Here’s what I found: Points work for Starbucks (8–10 stores per 3-mile radius) But not for independents. Too slow. Too confusing. Too “app-fatigued.” Instead, I uncovered 7 smarter, simpler strategies that outperform email, social, and points combined. Today, Quick Results is more than a business. It’s a mission: → Help independent businesses increase repeat visits → Make loyalty simple for customers of our clients to understand → Provide totally Done For You Service → Charge fairly, help many—not just a few Why work with us? Because growing from your existing customers is not only easier, it’s smarter.
