Fox's Pizza Den owner, Scott Anthony was recently interviewed by Pizza Insight
The interview recorded on CD dealt with Community Marketing and was distributed nationwide to a select group of pizza operators belonging to he National Association of Pizzeria Operators.
Pizzerias account for approximately 7 percent of the total number of restaurants in the U.S., and 6.5 percent of the restaurant industry's overall sales. We all compete for our slice of that $37 Billion Pizza Pie.
Most of Us Work Hard to Promote Our own Brands, creating our own niche, developing a concept, implementing an idea, living up to an ideal. Ask yourself; How Many of Us Take Time to Promote Our Segment or Our Industry? After all if it is good for the pizza business it is good for all of us.
My goal is to promote the Pizza industry & it's many contributions to our society. Pizzerias create jobs & stimulate the economy, they are often the core of community fundraising efforts. They provide family friendly meeting places. Pizza operators serve a product known for it's rich heritage, it's health benefits & it's appeal to all peoples. The innovative ideas this industry has yielded have changed the way we do business.
I aim to Create awareness of the accomplishments of pizzeria operators. The hyperlinks here show how some creative marketing has given operators the publicity they have earned & boosted their bottom line.
That makes Punxsutawney home to three times the per capita average of Pennsylvania pizzerias and four times the national average,
How do we beat the odds? By building a positive image of my business & making people aware of that I increased sales over 660% since I took over a dying business
Now, I want to help you promote your business & our industry. I am available to help write a marketing plan, get a press release distributed & get your pizzeria on the map & on the road to success.
Well done media placement is advertising we could never afford. Contact me NOW & let's discuss how I can help YOU. Reasonable rates.
