I think the real question is “Will a MySpace site draw customers to your store?” If those “friends” come to your restaurant because they saw your MySpace site and it draws in new customers, then it’s a good marketing tool and your time and energy is well-spent. BUT, if those friends are already customers and the only reason they’re going to your MySpace site is to sign up as a friend and leave their picture, then there may be no marketing value to it.
For our discussion about our shop . . . the real questions is about the NET number of customers attracted. We have to consider as well the impact of negative impressions by potential customers searching the internet for us or places in our area. EXAMPLE: New family moves to town and Googles for a pizza place in Grantville. If they find our MySpace and are turned off, we loose that customer 1st impression and may or may not get a chance to recover that potential customer.
It is a research firm. Do you have some other authority to cite that they are incorrect other than just your opinion?
Looks nice man. I would however IMVHO remove the link to order online direct at Dominoes. I do like the idea of beating the BFD, however.
I don’t understand what you are saying… Who has controll of “my” myspace? I do…No one else… Please explain… Friends buy from Friends. Myspace is free. I am building LOYAL customers and it cost me $0.00. I currently have 121 friends. 1 more than I had yesterday. How much did it cost me in advertiseing? $0.00… I have had my account for about 4 months and haven’t spent $0.01… Did you check out my myspace? What did you think? Did you find it offensive? Could you find my menu? Could you find my phone #? Did you read any of the testimonials? Hmm I have a couple of pastors who are my “friends”. I wonder how much “my” piture of “my” logo on their spaces have impacted my business. Ohh by the way did I mention how much I spent on this advertiseing? $0.00…pizzafanatic:

It may never happen that way, but in the MySpace milieu, there are far, far to d@mned many people who have more control over the impact of our page there than we would have. I don’t want to throw the dice and let others have that sort of direct influence over the advertising presence there. Other places have made a different business decision, and scored with lots of new customers. There truly is no substitute for knowing your marketplace and having a written business plan as both make these sorts of decisions easier.
