& Why We Love Them

With the pizza market’s revenue projected to grow over the next five years, it’s important to optimize and modernize your marketing campaigns to ensure shop visibility. We know your end goal is to sell more pizza, and we’re here to help with that, so today we’re going over some of our favorite (and best) pizza campaigns and how these tactics can help your shop with its next marketing campaign.

Visuals & Ads

How customers view your visual ads is how they will view your restaurant. Having strong visuals and graphics to boost your shop’s brand is crucial to creating an excellent marketing campaign. UNO’s, Pizzeria and Grill does a fantastic job with intriguing, eye catching, and delicious visuals. UNO’s shares realistic photos of their pizza to create urgency and interest. They create a scene with their photos instead of simply sharing the product.

Whether they’re on a postcard or in a social media post, visuals are so important because they’ll not only make or break how your pizza looks, but how it sells. Being in the food industry, you especially want your food images to be of the highest quality. Using a professional photographer or high quality stock images can be extremely helpful for updating your social media, creating in-store posters, and crafting high quality menus. If you’re using stock images, make sure they closely represent what your shop’s food actually looks like. It’s never appreciated if the food on your postcard looks better than it does person (false advertising), and oppositely, it’s not good if the food on your postcard looks bad and deters potential customers from even setting foot into your shop. Once you have good, quality images, that accurately represent your dishes, display them to your customers to see your amazing pizza through postcards, flyers, social media, and more!

Coupons & Deals

When it comes to utilizing deals and coupons, Pizza Hut takes the cake.

Since Pizza Hut’s very loyal to their returning customers, they have created an extraordinarily successful rewards program. They also have a $5 Lineup Menu to catch customers’ eyes right off the bat – when you buy two or more items, you get each for $5:

And who doesn’t love a good discount? If you want to promote your business, coupons are one of the best ways to do it, with just over 90% of all consumers having used coupons (either digital or print) in some way. Placing incentives in a local magazine, in a newspaper, or on a direct mail campaign creates urgency to visit your shop and use these coupons. There are several different ways coupons can be used for your shop, such as creating a rewards program, creating new customer incentives, or using the famous buy-one get-one tactic! This kind of campaign reels in your audience in an easy and efficient way, without losing a ton of money. Check out our blog on how to effectively use coupons and why they can be so successful.
