exactly where they're coming from.
For the most part, customers don't
wear uniforms or have business cards
pinned to their lapels. Sure, you'll
notice groups decked out in office
attire during the afternoon rush,
but are they coming from the office
complex up the street or the one
farther down the road, and how can
you serve them beyond lunch? You
want to cater their retirement and
Christmas parties. You want to deliver
pizzas during their work-throughlunch meetings. The goal is to build
more business through existing
clientele by marketing to them (and
others like them) effectively. The first
step is learning who they are.
Not only do these two pizzeria owners
know their clientele, but they've taken
steps to help create portions of their
clientele. They're in a good position to ask
these sports teams and fitness enthusiasts
for catering gigs - tournaments,
marathons, after parties and pizza booths
set up during big games.
Truly knowing someone requires
ongoing engagement, and the more
you engage, the more you learn. That's
why Kim makes it a point to respond to
everyone on Yelp. "And if I sense someone
is even slightly unhappy, I will remake
the pizza, jump in the car and deliver it
personally." What a way to engage!
Collecting business cards in a bowl and
holding drawings periodically for free
lunches or having guests fill out a form
with their contact information is another
SO HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR
CUSTOMERS? Maybe the baseball team
scenario doesn't resonate with you.
Maybe you've never even had a sports
team in your dining room. Adam
Milne, owner of Old Town Pizza &
Brewing in Portland, Oregon, says
there's an easy fix for this.
"A few years back, we drove around
to different sports fields and dropped
off coupons," he says, "giving players
one large pizza and letting them
know we were offering a 10-percent
discount to sports teams who came
in wearing uniforms." Today, he has
sports regulars.
Lee Kim, owner and pizza chef at
Burattino Pizza, located in Rancho
Palos Verdes, California, also
took steps to know his customers
by honing in on an untapped
demographic and creating new
customers. He distributed menus to
serious fitness enthusiasts at the local
gym. "I wanted to see how receptive
they would be to our gourmet pizzas
for health conscious people," he
explains. "I got such an amazing
response that we're now creating
special fliers and coupons for gyms,
martial arts academies and bicycle
clubs."
