We intend to send out menus, trifolds, etc. in baggies via doorhanging. Does it make sense to do it now, before Christmas, or wait till after new year? Thank you,

Has anyone ever thought about hiring someone with selling skills to pound the pavement and get steady business orders? I’ve been thinking about it lately as my partner and I both work full time at other jobs and have very little time to do this ourselves. Plus, we are far from salesmen. We...

The cards have ~16 peel off coupons on the back. The total saving for the customer is ~$110. The cards will be sold for $10 each. We already have the cards, but if we get a few schools on-board we will need to order more. We are working on putting the package together to take to the decision...

We are looking to work with schools to have the kids sell our Peel-a-Deal Funraiser card. We intend to split the proceeds 60/40 with the school. Does anyone have a good introduction and/or “instruction” sheet for the school? Any other thoughts? Thank you,

Good Morning, Most faxing programs pull numbers/contacts from outlook. Is their a decent program that would allow me to import names and fax number directly from Excel? Thank you,

j_r0kk: Do they do design work too? Thanks,

Good Morning, We have been marketing in various forms since purchasing our first store in November (we now have 2 stores). We currently mail menus, doorhangers, flyers, new mover cards, etc. A common problem we have is running out of time each week to get new materials designed and printed...

Tom, Thanks for the help, I am going to order the Carbonoff and give it a shot. Thanks again, Steve

Our shop uses an old style deep-dish pan for our pizzas. We had about 40 pans on a shelf for a few years and it seems that the oil on them has turned sticky and is extremely difficult to get off. Has anyone encountered an issue like this before, if so please let me know how you resolved it, it’s...

We actually market “Jumbo” wings and found that our wings were coming in on the small side. We were actually giving people more wings in their order to compensate. We now get a specific brand of wings which are consistently “jumbo”.

j_r0kk: Thank you for the feedback. Regarding the Monster Magnets, we are actually planning on regualr refrigerator magnets (5.25 x 11) that are mailed, not door hangers. While we pay more for mailing, we are assured that they are actually making it to the address. The hope is that they will...

We are a bit disapointed with the response rate we are getting with flyers and door hangers we are sending out. We are using a certain company and have been getting complaints that they are putting multiple doorhangers on doors (someone said she had 10 on her door), and a postal carrier...

Daddio, I checked out your website and you have some unique specialty pies. How do the pies with salad dressing sell? To everyone else thanks for the responses, you had some really good input to offer. Steve

We are looking at a 2nd location. However, we are having trouble finding heavy-duty pans to make the pizza. We make “Italian bakery style” pizza and utilize pans that are quite robust to say the least. We are going to need more but are not sure where to get them. The pans we have now are pretty...

Thanks for the response; we will have to make up a test pie to try. Is this a white pie or tomato pie?

I figured this would be a good place to get some ideas. We recently purchased a pizza shop and the current menu doesn’t have anything exciting on it, simply buy a pizza and pick some toppings. We are looking to name some pizzas with topping combinations. If you have any specialty pizzas that you...

Pizza Master6000: The previous owner had an old POS system; we up graded to the latest PDQ POS system. We will need to contact the company who installed it and get a list generated off the old system; the date base could not be up graded to our new system. I like your idea to send stuff to the...

j_r0kk: I believe the numbers up to the end of July were legitimate numbers; August I am starting to suspect might have been doctored up as not to reflect the start of a downward trend in sales. As for September and October we have no data, we already had entered into the sales proceedings and...

A little more background information for j_r0kk response: At our current point I would have to say no, we are not breaking even. Sales are off about 2k from the summer numbers and the summer is the low point of sales for the year. If we could get back the 2k we would be above the break even...

Is it worth trying to ramp up sales at this time of the year or is it better just to save your advertising budget and market hard after the New Year? Background: I have recently bought a pizza shop and the sales are down. The sales were fine when we first entered into the sale’s agreement...
