Incentives & Ideas to Help Boost your Launch and Maximise your Pizza Sales

We’ve added lots of additional ideas for you below that can breathe a bit more life into your launch and boost awareness amongst potential and returning customers.

• Teaser Campaign 
  Create a teaser campaign on social media ahead of your launch – build suspense and ensure that your customers are fully aware of your new, artisan pizzas. You can use your own pizza images or download social media posts created for Instagram and Facebook here.
• Chef’s Pizza of the Week
  Have a Chef’s pizza of the week; this way, customers will know to expect something fresh and new from you each and every week. If you’re stuck for ideas, check out our Customer Handbook for a few recipe recommendations. Save time and money by advertising your pizza of the week on a chalkboard/specials board, as well as taking a photo and posting to social media; posting your pizza of the week to Facebook/Instagram will ensure that you have regular content and will serve as a reminder to your customers.
• Product Samples
  Offer pizza samples by the slice (advertise this on Facebook & other social channels!) for your launch; people will have the opportunity to taste your new pizzas and you can offer some form of incentive with each sample such as 10% off your first full pizza purchase.
• Loyalty Cards & Discounts
  Offer loyalty cards to customers as well as discount vouchers to create a buzz around your new offerings and encourage return custom. Download our print-ready Pizza Dollars Voucher artwork here.
• Intro Offers
  Introductory offers such as 2 for 1 pizza Tuesdays or pizza party packages are great for encouraging more traffic. Download print-ready artwork for our $10 Pizza Tuesday’s poster here or contact us about marketing support to create your own bespoke introductory offer or combo deal.
• Launch Night Event
  Host an all you can eat pizza party launch night – post the event on Facebook ahead of time to really maximise your reach and offer some form of incentive such as a free drink with each all you can eat pizza meal ticket, or give away 2 for 1 pizza vouchers on the night. You can even give your event a theme or make it a monthly event, such as a vegan all you can eat pizza night, or have the event coincide with sports events and finals.

Our fifth and final point brings us to food delivery services. Il Uno Artisan Pizzas are ideal as delivery items; you can reach a whole new audience through online delivery, with the added ability to serve customers a premium product cooked with consistency and speed, 24 hours a day. We've added a few tips below to get you started:

• Ensure customers know that you now offer pizza delivery and make them aware of which platforms to order through. This can be through promotion in-store, in addition to social media posts and adding it to your social media bios and website. Download our social media posts here to notify your customers.
• Build brand loyalty and encourage customers ordering through delivery platforms to visit your venue by including vouchers in their delivery order for 10% off their next in-store purchase.
• Offer a first order discount or other promotions directly through your chosen delivery app.
• Utilise a two-tiered pricing model to account for the commission taken by food delivery apps, or have a separate menu altogether for your delivery offerings.
