Free Marketing Idea

So here's the deal. Not sure if it will work in your area, but I guess you just have to ask. Every time I order a Papa Johns pizza, well, 1/2 the time, I get a flyerr attached to the box or folded and tucked in the side of the box. These flyers are for other businesses. I went in and talked to the lady in charge about how much it costs to advertise. She told me it was free, as long as I handed out her flyers as well.

She said even though she is part of a big corporation, small businesses have to help each other out. Which I thought was very nice of her.

I was told they send out 400+ pizza boxes in one weekend. :bow I asked how long they will put my flyer on the boxes, and she said 1-2 weeks, depending on how many fliers I bring in.

SO.... I just finished designing my flyers, well, almost. I ordered another pizza this evening, so I can go back in and talk to her.:cool: I will be bringing my flyers in on Tuesday. Half sheet, front and back. I am printing them black and white, on either neon yellow, neon orange, or neon green paper. I figure I will go cheap for now to see how it goes, as most flyers will be tossed. No sense of spending a ton on colored copies right now.

So, check out pizza joints and see what you can come up with. I already picked up a ton of flyers for Papa Johns and ready to hand them to clients when I give them an invoice.

I will update the thread and let you all know how it all goes.

:wow: That is some good info. Definetely keep us posted on how it turns out. I always see those little sticky ads on tha boxes. Honestly I can't say I've ever used any of tha services offered,actually I couldn't even tell 1 of tha biz I've seen do this.Usually by tha time tha "Pie" makes it to my home it geets devowered in minutes.But I think this is some valuable info you have found out.Say you do 1,000 if 10 good(repeat/reference) people contact you, then I say you win.:cool: :dcrules
 
Man. I wish they had Papa John's around here. Love that stuff. Good luck with your plan, let us know how it PANS out, get it? Wakka wakka.
 
In my area, none of the pizza delivery have ever included flyers except a price sheet for pizza.
 
Looking forward to this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I actually think I am going to hold off for a little while. I picked up that large dealer account that keep s me very busy. Not sure I will have time to book any appointments at all I am so swamped. I'm working 12+ hours days right now and I am pooped.

I did finish and print my flyers though, so I can be ready to turn them over when the time comes.
