The juicy fruit attracts animals to eat it. The seeds may stick to the beak and be wiped off elsewhere or pass through the gut and be deposited with the faeces.

What do fruit improve the success with which seeds are dispersed?

Fruits with edible pulp attract animals that eat them and later disperse the seeds through their droppings in different locations.

When does a blackberry disperse its seeds?

A blackberry plant's seeds are located in the fruit. There are many seeds in each "berry" (botanically speaking, not a berry at all, but a multiple in which each bump on the "berry" is an individual fruit called a drupe). Blackberry fruits are designed to look and taste delicious to many different animals, most notably to fruit eating birds. The bird or other animal will eat the fruit with the seeds. If the seed isn't damaged by chewing, it will pass through the birds digestive tract and be dropped far from the parent plant in the birds excrement. There are many closely related species commonly known as blackberry, and they live in widely varying climates. Fruiting time for each species will vary, and fruiting time for each individual plant will vary depending on its geographic location. Generally, blackberries will set fruit from mid to late summer. Seed dispersal coincides with fruiting.

it benefits by this when the animal eats a seed, it carries it inside its body until it needs to use the bathroom. the seed then leaves the animal's body by means of waste (aka poop) and where the seed lands, it will grow. of course, it can only grow if conditions are favorable.
