SPM #80: Flying Saucer Pizza Company

Flying Saucer Pizza Company

I’ve known of the Flying Saucer Pizza Company for a few years now mostly because they are close to where I live in Salem, MA. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the historic city of Salem and Flying Saucer has a unique angle to capture tourists and customers.

Recently they teamed up with a local paper and ran a “Pokemon Go party” . It was a great way to capture some business from the Pokemon craze and it also fit right into their overall theme of being more “quirky and nerdy” (their terms not mine lol)

As a marketing and social media guy, the thing I noticed most about this company is the speed in which they see a trend and execute on an idea immediately. No waiting around pondering about if they should or shouldn’t, they just go for it and figure it out.

Nicole the General Manager of Flying Saucer Pizza joins me on the show today to discuss some of the thinking and planning that goes into their marketing events.
