Pizza Flyer Advertising: Your best Choice for In-Home Ad Placement

Pizza Flyer Advertising

Pizza flyer advertising: learn more about this concept.

The advertising industry is changing rapidly as companies seek new and innovative methods to engage with consumers. Due to shifts in consumer behavior, traditional out-of-home (OOH) advertising techniques, such as billboards and bus shelter ads, are losing their effectiveness. With fewer people spending time outside, these conventional channels are becoming less impactful, prompting companies to explore more direct and creative ways to interact with customers in their homes, where they feel most comfortable.
Pizza flyer advertising is one of the most creative tactics to emerge from this shift. This strategy leverages the widespread popularity of pizza delivery to place promotional messages directly in the hands of consumers. By collaborating with pizzerias, advertisers can ensure that their messages reach targeted audiences in a setting that encourages engagement and retention.
Adzze has been re-evaluating the current tactics and adapting to a more sensitive message. The operations team has working on extending its reach to offer advertising methods that can reach the consumers at their safest place: at home. One of these tactics uses pizza boxes as advertising space. Think of this as small moving billboard that consumers receive in their homes and place on their dinner tables. Ad data demonstrated that this type of ads can lead to an 80% recall rate (8 out of 10 individuals recall seeing an ad on the pizza box) with an average ROI of 150%. This means, for every 1 dollar the advertiser invested in a pizza box advertising campaign, they received at least additional 2.5 dollars of sales. For more details, see the article Estimating the ROI of Pizza Box Marketing.

What is pizza flyer advertising?

Pizza flyer advertising is a guerrilla advertising tactic whose aim is to increase conversion cheaply. The idea is to leverage pizza boxes where advertisers print their ads on top of a pizza box. Alternatively, an advertiser could print a flyer and then attach it on top of a pizza box. It comes as a surprise to many that pizza flyer advertising is very cheap and simple yet so effective.
The concept is easy. First, the advertiser will print a flyer with the special message intended for the target audience. To maximize the ad’s impact, one should ensure that the message is succinct and relevant. Next, the advertiser delivers the flyers to select pizzerias, after which they are attached onto pizza boxes. Therefore, every pizza delivery will act as an opportunity to expose the brand to the target audience.

Pizza box marketing has many benefits

From the foregoing, a pizza box marketing campaign is easy to set up. This is unlike digital ads that involve a lot of technical work. Used smartly, pizza boxes provide the best alternative to traditional and even digital advertisements. In addition, pizza box advertising is unique in the sense that it is unconventional. Resultantly, it is impossible for the target audience to miss the ad.
Placing an ad on top of a pizza box is the most straightforward marketing campaign out there. If an advertiser wanted to reach, say, college students, placing an ad on top of pizza boxes is an immediate attention catcher. Immediately the box lands in the hands of the target audience, they notice the ad. Additionally, there is enough time to interact with the ad and possibly make a direct action.

Price of billboards makes them incomparable to pizza box advertising

To be sure, billboard advertising is among the most popular OOH advertising vehicles. However, advertisers have to part with exorbitant amounts of money to utilize them. The costs climb higher when an advertiser utilizes a billboard in high-traffic areas. In addition, increased demand makes the price for billboards to rise. Compared to pizza box advertising, therefore, billboard advertising is much more expensive.
Besides, it is impossible to track engagement when renting a billboard. While a billboard is visible to many people, it is difficult to tell if they decided to buy your products after interacting with the billboard. Also, this problem arises from the inability of billboard advertising to target the exact audience.

Stay-at-Home Ads will replace outdoor advertising

The use of OOH and billboards will most likely experience more decline in the coming weeks, given the growing number of cases of infection in the United States. Businesses that dearly need to get the word out about their enterprise will have to embrace new-age advertising to stay in business. This means more customers will abandon billboard advertising to adopt indoor ads; a strategy which brands trying to avoid the cut-throat cost of sign advertising have happily been using to market themselves in recent times.
The New York Times aptly described the effect of the pandemic on outdoor advertising as a ‘seismic shock’. Even Coca-Cola is among the companies that have limited their ad campaigns during the coronavirus crisis, the New York Times report says. Long story cut short; a lot of companies are hitting the brakes on billboard ads and other forms of OOH advertising and are also pulling back until the coast clears.

There are more creative advertisement ideas as alternatives to billboard advertising

Clearly, billboard advertising is costly and complex to run. Although billboard advertising is evolving such that there are electronic billboards, this does not solve the issue of targeting and low conversion rates. Fortuitously, there are creative advertisement ideas, besides pizza flyer advertising, that can help. A good example is coffee sleeve advertisement.

Coffee sleeve advertisement entails using custom printed coffee cup sleeves to reach the target audience. The unique nature of the advertising tactic enables marketers to select and to advertise to the exact audience desired. Other creative advertisement ideas include bar coasters and hotel key cards. One common characteristic of these ideas is that they are unconventional hence hard to ignore. In addition, they are easy and cheap to run.

The business of marketing is changing in the age of COVID-19. Whether its effects are brief or prolonged, marketers need to be nimble in these challenging times, and pivot when needed while optimizing performance throughout the crisis.

Adzze has been working with its clients to adapt to a more sensitive message. The team has been extending the capabilities to offer advertising options that can reach the consumers at their safest place: at home.
