    Mail Shark Experience

    Valpak and Hometown Values Coupon Magazine (a local piece) have always quoted me a 3-day window and have hit it everytime…Valpak for the 15 years I have been using them and HTV for the 6 years I have been using them. I also do my own direct mail pieces at the saturation level by carrier route...

    Mail Shark Experience

    pizzapirate: You are correct, there is no way to nail down an exact day. However, when doing mailings my self I have no problem hitting a 3 day window…say Tue - Thurs. In fact, all my other vendors I use for shared mail quote a 2 day window and hit it everytime. My main frustration with Mail...

    Anyone watch that hoarding show?

    How about the show that chronicles people’s crazy eating habits…not sure what it is actually called. Last week there was a guy on there that eats over 400 pizzas a year. I am not condoning the unhealthy eating habit, but man that would be a nice customer to have.

    Seeking a Stanislaus product

    Jim, I use Full Red Pizza Sauce w/o basil. The ingredients listed are “Vine-ripened fresh tomatoes, salt, and naturally derived citric acid.”, and the upc is 01201 instead of 01251. However, I think it is what you are looking for. I am in Seattle, therefore I can’t help you out purchasing it...

    Back to School Blues

    School started around here for us yesterday and sales yesterday and today have been horrible…about 50% of what a normal Wed and Thur have been. We have been in business for 15yrs and I am used to Back to School time being somewhat slower, but not any where near as slow as it has been the last...

    Annual PCI fee from cc processor

    This fee had nothing to do with whether I am PCI compliant or not. It was a fee that they charged all their merchants so that they can “maintain the servers in Georgia and Nebraska” to keep them (the processor) PCI compliant. At the end of the day, I still think this is an excuse for them to...

    Annual PCI fee from cc processor

    Got my August statement today and was charged an additional fee for PCI compliant($150). Processor states that this is a annual fee that all processors charge as a way to recoup “some” of their cost associated with PCI compliance. I think it is just another b*&9&*it fee that they made up...

    On-line ordering is up and running

    We implemented online ordering about six months ago with moderate to minimal success. At the beginning of August I started a promotion where all orders placed on-line receive free delivery…my online orders have more than doubled. Since the average ticket of on-line orders is substantially...

    Sauce going solid

    Regarding garlic: are you using granulated, chopped in water/oil or whole cloves that your chop yourself? We have always used granulated and I was wondering if switching to the chopped garlic in oil would be a noticeable difference in the flavor profile.

They also have a friends and family program that you can select up to 10 phone numbers for your entire account that will not go against your minutes used. One of the numbers will obviuosly be the store number so...

    Discipline…that’s the other issue. Over the years I haven’t it and as a result I am not getting the most from these mailings. Mailman, let’s talk. I will send you an email.

    30-60-90 mailings

    I do my own now. However, I find it to be quite time consuming and labor intensive. Not to mention paying full postcard rates adds up quickly. I was hoping to automate the process and eliminate having to stick address lables and stamps on each piece…not necessarily thinking it will save me...
