    Menu pricing thoughts and suggestions

    Great question - In pricing your menu the idea is to shift the focus “off of the prices” and onto “the food” “the deal” or “the benefits” associated with ordering right now. There are several ways to do this (or you can combine these methods): Remove the dollar signs and do not use a “list”...

    You may want to look at Google Hangouts too. Google makes it easy to send calendar invites, start pre-chat message threads, and do live video chats anywhere in the world. I’ve used it to chat with folks as far as Zurich (Switzerland) without any issues. That, or we could just do a good...

    Menu Mailers

    Tony, Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid delivery between the 21st and 26th. Aside from those dates, you should be in great shape to deliver offers to local prospects. During this busy time of year, services that provide convenience are at a premium. People are busy with families...

    New EDDM Size Regulations?

    HoustonPizza, They are providing you with incorrect information.After mailing MILLIONS of menus and flyers via EDDM I can guarantee that the 8.5x11 size is well within the USPS guidelines. In fact, the “starter kit” that the USPS sends out to business owners contains 8.5" x 11" (and larger)...

    EDDM...

    That’s great! The EDDM program has been quite a hit with pizzerias across the U.S. How are you planning to track redemption rates? Do you use a POS system with offers/codes? I’d be interested to see the door hanger response vs. EDDM response. Good luck with your campaign, keep us posted!

    Pizza Expo Virgins right here!

    As paul7979 suggested, do your best to walk the floor slowly and see all there is to see (multiple times if possible). There is a great deal of information to see and digest. It may be a good idea, as others have suggested in the past, to make a pre-show checklist of what you hope to accomplish...
