Escalon lets you give your customers a taste of the Mediterranean this fall by introducing a new Greek-style pizza to your menu. With its rich, sharp flavors and appealing colors and textures, Greek pizza creates a feast for the taste buds and the eyes. Here are some ideas for marketing your new menu addition:

  • Grab attention on social media with a mouthwatering photo of the new pie and the tagline, “Greek is the word at [your pizzeria name]!”
  • Craft a text message blast offering the new pizza at a discounted price that’s valid for only 48 hours and send it to your entire mobile database.
  • Stress the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet in all social media and marketing materials.
  • Turn a slow weeknight into Toga Night. Anyone who wears a toga over their clothing gets a 20% discount off their check for the night.
