Campaign Idea
The “How do you Hut” Facebook Campaign
Contest that involves pizza hut customers posting videos of themselves doing anything
that somehow includes consuming Pizza Hut on the Pizza Hut Facebook page.
Based on how many likes the videos receive on the company fan page, the top ten
winners will receive free Pizza Hut for one year. The winners will be limited to one
pizza/pasta/salad per day or (7) pizza/pasta/salads a week.
The contest will take place over the month of October 2010 which is established to be
one of the three peak months for a peak month for Pizza Hut.
Campaign Objectives
Increase awareness for Pizza Hut and the Pizza Hut Facebook page.
Increase Pizza Hut Twitter followers by linking campaign from Twitter
to Facebook so more people can get involved
Steer away competitive loyal consumers from Pizza Hut’s
competition, thus, creating more brand loyal customers for Pizza Hut.
Campaign Goals/Advantages
Facebook- increase traffic and fans by promoting the campaign through Pizza hut’s Facebook page.
Twitter- Anyone who follows Pizza Hut on Twitter will have the direct link to enter the contest on
Facebook. This will create more traffic on twitter as well. If used to the fullest extent, Facebook and
Twitter play off each other very nicely.
Pizza Hut looked at as more of a fun outgoing brand. Through the success of our campaign, we hope
Pizza Hut can gain a positive brand image, and be known as the pizza brand who puts customers first.
The campaign is based solely on social media so the budget will only consist of the cost for the winners
Overall, the campaign will increase awareness globally for a very affordable cost
Budget/Measurement of success
Budget will include 10 winners at 7 pizzas per week. 52 weeks in a
year. 70 pizzas /week max (7*10 customers)….
70* 52=3640 pizzas*$3(wholesale)/ pizza= $10,920
Pizza hut plans to gain awareness by increasing their following on
Facebook and Twitter. Also through the interactive campaign, word
of mouth will be another method Pizza Hut will rely on and strongly
encourage since word spreads so fast through the internet.
The End and The Outcome
In order for anybody to participate in the contest, they first have to buy
Pizza Hut pizza and somehow incorporate in their video. That in itself should
increase Pizza Hut’s sales. Also , there is yet to be a pizza brand that has put
people first, literally. I think with this interactive campaign, Pizza Hut just may
put themselves in a unique and yet to be explored category of pizza the
customer can appreciate..
