The proof is in the revenue.
For some businesses, close to a quarter of their revenue comes from diversified offerings. Forty percent of restaurant owners noted that 21% or more of their revenue comes from outside of their core restaurant service. For retailers, 61% noted that up to 25% of their revenue comes from outside their core offering.
Customers are on board with multihyphenate businesses.
Customers are all in when it comes to diversified offerings and experiences. The data shows that 40% of customers would be very or extremely interested in a new type of offering from a business known for something else. In fact, 57% of consumers have purchased retail items at their local restaurant in the last year.
