Another respondent, who is not a pizzeria operator, but knows a thing or two about pizzeria marketing, also replied. I liked his feedback so much, that I'm sharing it with you here.
Bryan Mull is the internet marketing manager for Mail Shark, and had the following marketing tips to share....
1. Spend the money to have awesome logo
and branding elements. Don’t skimp on the “look” of the business. Just like
dating, physical appearance and vibe of your business will matter when trying
to get people in the door. Look the part and make sure your branding is
memorable. Remember that your brand and quality of design is a direct
reflection of your business in both your food quality and customer service.
2. Verify your business with
Google My Business. This is probably one of the single best tactics a pizzeria
owner can do (for free) that will actually help them get visibility on the web.
As much as I would like to add “create a website for your business” or “setup a
Business Facebook page” to my top 3, I know from past experience that a well
optimized Google Plus page can go a long way in local search visibility.
3. Conduct a direct mail campaign to your
local area featuring your menu. This is not a plug for my company. The menu mailing is huge, especially if it’s
a new pizzeria or a franchise chain that is coming to a new area. Menus make it
extremely easy for the consumer to place an order because it features all menu
items, pricing, and tells a the story about the pizzeria. This is a proven
tactic to jump start customer campaigns. The big guys
like Pizza Hut do this all the time when they open a franchise in a
new area.
