Texting Success for Craigo’s Pizza – (Now Pizza Pie Cafe)

Craigo’s Pizza is texting like crazy! They have locations in Idaho and just opened up a Pizza Pie Cafe in Utah. Pizza Pie Cafe opened a week ago and already has over 1,100 cell phone numbers in their database. Kent has been running their texting campaigns through M6 Marketing and has seen a ton of success. Here are some quotes from him:

“The last broadcast we sent out, 13% was the rate of return that we were able to measure and that was with BYU-Idaho out of school. Half our subscribers are from BYU-Idaho, so I’m pretty confident that we would have had upwards of 16, 17, 18% response with that text message if school would have been in session.”

“We know we can probably get upwards of 40% response, we did one time when we did $3.99 all-you-can-eat buffet…the entire parking lot was full, the dentist office and businesses were starting to complain because we were filling up their parking lots, people walking over, a line out the door, it was just amazing!…Now are we making much money on that? No, but I tell you what, people still talk about that and that was 4 or 5 months ago when we did it.”

“It really depends on the business owner. Anybody who says ‘Oh, the text messaging program doesn’t work for me’, I just laugh at them, and say are you kidding me, that’s the best marketing tool we have! Zero labor and we can drive sales up any given day! We’ll just pack the restaurant up…if we know it’s going to be a slow day because there’s some fair or big event going on and we feel like we need to really boost up sales, we’ll send out a text and done! We’re covered…with confidence!”
