How Pizza Pro Skyrocketed Customer Engagement with a Free Pizza Offer and a Mobile App
Introduction
Pizza Pro, a growing pizzeria chain, needed to boost online orders, increase customer engagement, and build long-term brand loyalty. While they had a website for online orders, they recognized the need for a seamless, mobile-first experience. That’s when they partnered with BeyondCart to transform their e-commerce store into a powerful mobile app, making ordering easier while incentivizing downloads with an irresistible offer: a free pizza for every new app installation.
Challenges
- Low mobile engagement and reliance on third-party delivery platforms
- High commission fees from food delivery services cutting into profit margins
- Lack of a direct communication channel with customers
- Need to build a loyal customer base and encourage repeat purchases
