Week 6: Pizza Shark

 


                                                

                                                     Pizza Shark Commercial   


In theme with our readings this week, I have chosen a local Pizza shop with a great commercial targeting a wide variety customer base. Its bright happy colors in combination with the animation of the commercial itself make it a great target for families with children. This is a commercial I’ve seen many times watching Celtics games and always get a kick out of. I think having this commercial airing at a time when more people, especially families with children, will likely be watching is a smart choice. The catchy jingle, which I admit to singing or humming to many times, is also a great way to connect with their target audience. This ad is also a good target for adults looking for a pizza place with a view, like the lake mentioned, a pizza place that isn’t stuffy or just a grab-and-go place, showing their versatility in the consumers they serve.  


Their ad does a good job of making an emotional connection in the humor of their ad, making their target audience more likely to do business with them. This ad also does a good job of separating itself in a crowded food industry market, especially with a pizza restaurant, by having a more chill and relaxed atmosphere. Where so many pizza companies are more focused on showing their finely crafted ingredients, multi-purpose adult and family-friendly atmosphere, or a quick service atmosphere. Pizza Shark stands out not just with its unique and easy-to-remember name due to its originality but with an ad that it’s hard to forget that gives its target consumer a feeling of comfort.


Chapter 10, talks about how having new products from the same company, sometimes even under a different name, can spark curiosity for all consumers. While this isn’t a new product, I think the use of their location of being near a lake and using the fact that sharks aren’t in lakes but for their pizza, there are sharks in the lake is a funny and smart approach to using something “new” to market their company. Chapter 10 also talks about the importance of how a company markets its products and services, and Pizza Shark excels in marketing themselves as well as their product and services differently while keeping cost in mind as mentioned in Chapter 11.

Vistaprint: More Than Print and More than Just a Promo Ad

   Vistaprint: More Than Print and More than Just a Promo Ad More Than Print   In theme with this week's readings of Chapter 18 on “ integrated marketing communications and direct marketing”, I’ve chosen Vistaprint’s “More Than Print” ad as it covers a lot of this week's reading.  Vistaprint’s “More Than Print” ad shows two men with Bostonian accents working at what looks like the Boston Celtics ProShop talking about the different products that Vistaprint offers besides business cards. Vistaprint is a company that offers a wide variety of business items from business cards, flyers, packaging, and more, as the commercial points out, but they also have way more than just needs for businesses. They also offer customizations on a variety of products for the everyday consumer such as cups and mugs, pillowcases, t-shirts, and more. This commercial does a great job of including a lot of promotional elements such as having a partnership with a well-known prestigious name lik...

Final Post–5 Takeaways: MK 103_Spring 2024

  5 Takeaways: MK 103_Spring 2024  1. When, where, how, and who you are marketing to or your target market, are all important pieces of information for a successful marketing job 2. Consumers can’t and don’t separate a company from the products or services offered, so positive impressions and feedback are imperative  3. Marketing managers have many responsibilities including but not limited to; watching the company's ROI, delegating jobs to the correct departments, constantly checking the marketing dashboard, and more   4. Word of mouth is one of if not the best marketing tools as it’s from a source the consumer trusts and is also one of the least expensive 5. Companies divide their products success into four categories; question marks (need a lot of money to maintain their market status, never mind keep it), stars (sometimes need extra cash to get started and have a slow growth but skyrocket to be cash cows), cash cows (generate a large profit–enough to cover t...
