Driving Winter Sales for a National Pizza Franchisee

The Problem

A national pizza franchisee with multiple locations faced predictable sales declines during the winter months, particularly on weekdays. The goal was to increase in-store and online orders while tracking performance at the individual store level.

Our Solution

A hyper-local digital advertising campaign was launched across paid  display, and mobile platforms. Each store was assigned its own geo-fenced audience, creative variations, and tracking links. Ads promoted limited-time winter bundles and delivery-focused messaging designed to appeal to cold-weather dining habits.

Execution:

  • Geo-targeted ads within 3–5 miles of each store
  • Store-specific creatives and offers
  • Mobile-first placements optimized for online ordering
  • Real-time optimization based on store-level performance
